Ever since I began dating my partner Kellie 7 years ago I've been making her illustrations all about our lives together. 3 years ago Kellie gave birth to our Daughter, Poppy, and now more than ever these comics are a way for me to capture the precious moments I spend with them both.

The drawings are a mixture of tender, romantic moments combined with silly, crude, and very British humor.

Two years ago we posted on Bored Panda and got an incredible response. Now we have an amazing following of over 100k lovely people on Instagram who enjoy following our lives and watching Poppy grow up in our illustrations.

Here are some of our favorites from the last year. We hope you enjoy!

Poppy was skipping along clutching a little Easter snow globe thing that we’d bought her that she was so happy with. It wasn’t long before in her excitement she accidentally dropped it, and it instantly smashed on the pavement. She was devastated and stood in the street sobbing. As I was comforting her the sweetest girl came up to us and said she’d witnessed the scene and that it melted her heart seeing how sad Poppy looked. She bought her a cupcake to cheer her up! It’s the kind of thing that restores your faith in humanity. Thank you, kind stranger.

Every so often Kellie will announce it’s ‘Girls’ Night’ and she treats me to a facepack and manicure. I possibly love it way more than I should.

Something touching but poignant Kellie said to me last night. Neither of us had good relationships with our fathers, in fact, they were almost entirely absent from our lives. I grew up determined to try to be the Dad I never had.

That is so sweet ! Encouraging that such a start in life does not determine your own parenting style.

I’ve had a nasty bout of flu over the last week and felt dreadful. Poppy missed me when I was in bed for a few days, so she started climbing onto the bed, tucking into me, and watching Netflix with me while I laid there exhausted. It was so cute the way she just wanted to be close to me.

Poppy loves bus journeys. She happily sings away as it drives along.

Poppy is still obsessed with Kellie’s boobs. Cuddles always turn into Booby Cuddles. I’m quite partial to getting involved too.

In the mornings when I leave for work Poppy will excitedly announce ‘I want to say goodbye on the doorstep!’ She follows me to the door, where she gives me the most tender little hug you can imagine.

Whenever I’m playing on the floor with Poppy and have to leave to go to work or do chores, Poppy holds my hand, looks at me with big sad eyes, and tells me she wants to ‘keep me’. It melts my heart.

Yesterday was Poppy’s first day at nursery! Such a mix of emotions when we dropped her off. I wanted to stay and play with all the toys with her.

Having a young child is like having a window into your own childhood. You get another chance to do things you’d long since forgotten about - like avoiding the cracks in the pavement.

Occasionally (more often than normal, perhaps) I’ll burst into the room singing ‘Milkshake’ by Kelis, accompanied by ludicrous dancing. Kellie appears to be desensitized to such things now.

Poppy’s behavior has been challenging for the last couple of weeks. Partly because she’s a bit under the weather, but also because she’s a willful, spirited little madam.

I just say the opposite of things and wish for them super badly (I hope I get something really bad today) so that the universe can hear me and do the opposite (I end up getting something good for the day!) It works idk why XD

It probably works better as an airplane or rocket anyways... I paid a kinky amount of money for one of those rabbits when it was the new thing, back when it was on SexAndTheCity and everyone went crazy for one. I've never been so disappointed by a purchase in my life... That expensive piece of s**t rabbit let me down every time, just like a one-night-stand who passes out drunk after 20 seconds. As a sextoy it's overrated garbage! But it probably makes a good airplane!

Too relatable. When Hubby starts making injured coyote noises during a backrub, I tell him, "Remember, the safe word is Cobra."

Kellie is visiting her Mum this week so we’ve been keeping in touch on FaceTime. We always seem to end up spending most of the call pulling variations of The Old Dog Face at each other.

I was drawing at the table when Poppy climbed up on a chair, peered over and said ‘what’s going on, Dad?’ - it was the first time she’d ever said it and it was so funny and adorable that I just had to stop and give her a huge cuddle.

Summer or winter, Kellie gets ludicrously hot when she’s sleeping. It’s like sharing a bed with a human-sized hot water bottle.

The trick is to have a normal body temperature that is just slightly higher than that of your partner. If you get cold, you absorb his or her heat, if you get hot, he or she will involuntarily act as a radiator.

At the supermarket, while Kellie is shopping like an adult, Pops and me will get our own trolley and race around the supermarket pretending we’re flying a rocket that needs regular top-ups with petrol (complete with exaggerated ‘glug, glug, glug’ sounds as I pretend-pour it into the side of the trolley). Pops can’t get enough of it.

Kellie does this annoying thing at bedtime where she’ll suddenly flail her legs in the air to wrap the covers around her - exposing my feet to the cold air. She looks like a fallen horse while she’s doing it.
