Just Because gifts
The best occasions are the ones you invent
No birthday. No holiday. Just proof that you pay attention. Make anyone the hero of their own comic book for no reason at all. One photo, a few details, and their comic is drawn. From $19.90.
Why a comic works as a just because gift
A random Tuesday gift
Unexpected beats expensive. Nobody is prepared for a comic book about themselves in March.
The apology that actually works
Make yourself the villain of the first act. It is very hard to stay annoyed.
Congratulations on anything
New job, new house, finally finishing the dissertation — every win deserves an issue.
How it works
Spill the beans
Their job, their hobbies, the thing they say every morning. Every detail becomes plot, or you can write the plot yourself.
Add one photo
One clear, front-facing photo. That face becomes a comic hero who is unmistakably them, on every page rather than just the cover.
Watch the reveal
The cover and the complete first page are drawn free, in about two minutes. The rest of the story stays a surprise.
Gift it
The digital PDF lands within the hour. Printed editions arrive in about three weeks: roughly a week in production, then a couple of weeks in the post.
