I’ve wanted to do a short form comic about food for a while now. I’m a pretty experienced home cook and I have a lot of knowledge that I am consistently excited to share.
It took some trial and error with getting the tone I wanted in the script, but I finally got there. I noticed when I talked with other people they kind of expected this comic to just be a series of visual recipes. I like visual recipes too, but it’s a pretty narrow scope in terms of the subject and not to mention that it requires a lot of testing in order to make a recipe.
Food is such a massive topic that has deep ties to culture, land, community, and our own emotions as individuals. Do I want to do more short form food comics? Yes. Are there going to be more cooking forward subjects? Absolutely. It was really important to me to start off with a comic that was more focused on the emotional and practical side of food: just eating regularly.
