Hi, everyone. I’m Joy from Alloy Comics (artwork by Nohra Johnston). Thank you for your support on my previous post, which was featured on the homepage of Bored Panda and accumulated over 56K views!

Here are 50 more comics that give you the backstory before the baby was born. I’ll publish 50 more parenting comics here at Bored Panda soon. Please follow Alloy Comics on Facebook and Instagram to view the most recent comics, published weekly.

More info: Facebook | Instagram

As a stand-up comic who married a man who is almost just as funny, I don't really have to "write" jokes. All of the panels from Alloy Comics come from real conversations or situations in our lives. Whenever something happens, I usually share it on Facebook first to see how the joke plays with my friends.

The popular ones (or my personal favorites) are rewritten in comic script form and given to my talented artist Nohra Johnston about once or twice a year for her to churn out one at a time.

Since Alloy Comics is based on us, we don't really have to "create" any characters nor do we need to come up with original designs. My husband happens to be a tall, brunette, white dude with a beard, and I am a short, round, Asian girl. We look like a meatball and a strand of spaghetti together, or perhaps 1o (note: I used o instead of 0 because I'm very short).

I'm actually quite surprised we haven't met anyone who's said anything negative about Alloy Comics...yet! Most people find our comics adorable. Some people question if we really talk to each other like that. The answer is yes, we certainly do. There is no exaggeration here. Alloy Comics is my life. My favorite part of the creative process is when Nohra does all the hard work and sends me the comic on Friday night.

Nohra and I love creating art. Alloy Comics has been and always will be free online. We enjoy making readers happy and resonating with other people. Unfortunately, in this day and age, artists actually have to pay social media companies in order to be noticed, and I simply don't have the funds for that.

That's why I hope we will gain enough of a following one day to be approached by a publisher so we can reach a wider audience. Let's spread the joy around...pun intended!

Haha! That reminds me of the time I shaved every hair from my passed out drunk (now ex) boyfriend's body, even went as far as to trim his eye lashes. Boy looked like "powder" and was very itchy for the next few weeks. To be fair, he drew first blood when he cut my hair (which way so long, it was down to my knees) in my sleep. I would braid it up at night before bed and he had cut it at the very top of the braid. It took months for it to grow out enough to get an even cut. I cried like a baby because I had been growing it out for years!

oh no as a mom of 5 boys and 3 girls, you worry about all no matter what. I have one son that is trying to figure out his relationship with a long term girlfriend, worry. One Bi son who is still trying to figure out his sexuality....worry and kinda mad he keeps hurting people in his wake. one special needs son ...worry. One almost 18 son who still has no idea what he wants to do with his life long term...worry. One young son that isn't having any problems, that is worrysome in itself lol. 1 daughter that lives on her own in another state ....worry. Another that is about to move out with serious boyfriend....worry, mid teen girl....worry. Point is, it doesn't matter, you worry all the time.

I know the feeling. I dreamed of my grandma's "Kartoffelkniester" two nights ago and am feeling kinda hungry since then.

Awww, that's so sweet edit: for the record, it made me think of you story, that's why I thought it was sweet. Also, I'm glad she didn't get all pissy about him forgetting it, sheesh.

Are they drawn that way in this one because Alex's mom hadn't rescued their hair salon yet?
