A drawing of a cute, cartoony baby black goat with big horns and a third, evil-looking eye in the middle of its forehead. He has big eyes and is smiling with a pointed tongue sticking out of its mouth. It's standing on a purple rock, in front of a background radiating red, orange and yellow.

so i've been working on a comic for the past year(ish) now, and it's finally done! been eager to finally put it out into the world and hope you enjoy! Anyway, this is T.V. Dad

panel 1 - A title screen akin to the sitcoms of the 1950's. It reads "Franklin Studios presents... T.V. DAD! America's favorite dad!" With the heads of the 4 characters floating around. A dad with a fedora and a pipe, a mom, a little brother and a big sister.

panel 2 - Dad is sitting in the back at a kitchen table with his face covered by a newspaper, mom is in the foreground with eggs in a skillet. Dad says "Mmmmm! What's cookin', dear?" Mom says "Eggs, Honey! Your favorite!"

panel 4 - Son and Daughter are circling Dad, who looks confused, as audience laughs. Son says "I wasn't snooping! You left it open on your bed!" Daughter says "Did not, you little liar!" Son says "Did too!"

panel 5 - Daughter: "You should learn to respect my privacy!" Son: "You should cool it!

panel 6 - Son: "I don't think ROBBIE is gonna wanna date someone so violent." Audience "Oooooo"'spanel 1 - Daughter, enraged: "You DID snoop! UGH!!"

panel 2 - Daughter chasing son around Dad. Daughter says "I can't BELIEVE you would do this to me! Dad, DO something!"

Page 1 of 5 of a comic done with black ink and pink tones. Panel 1: a character's feet in the grass sounded by bushes and trees, reads "Is this world for me?" Panel 2: reveals the same character's face, a short, stocky person with short flowing hair, looking wistful, reads "Is my existence aligned with nature?" Panel 3: reveals the character walking in a forest, trees towering over them, surrounded by nature, reads "Is this how I was meant to be?"Page 2 of 5 of a comic done with black ink and pink tones. Panel 1: a short character with straight hair and a taller character with curly hair walking towards each other through a forest that towers over them. Panel 2: the two characters shown torso-up meet in the middle and hold hands. Panel 3: a still shot of the treetops with leave blowing in the wind, text reads "The Earth was made" "through a chain of tiny mistakes"Page 3 of 5 of a comic done with black ink and pink tones. Panel 1: a shot through the branches of a tree, leaves in detail, reads "And those mistakes wove neatly" Panel 2: a continuation of panel 1, reveals a leaf bug, blending with the leaves and crawling onto a branch, text reads "into other mistakes". Panel 3: a shot of a landscape with large mountains in the background, reads " to make mountains".
