Highbury Hills is based on my own childhood and the everyday moments I shared with a close friend. We often found ourselves in funny situations, and I wanted to bring that feeling into my comics.

I’m also inspired by the humor and character relationships in Archie comics and Regular Show, which is why Highbury Hills has a fun, easy-going tone that mixes real-life experiences with a bit of silliness.

Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees lmao

A typical day in my creative process starts with some warm-up sketches or brainstorming. I like to scribble down rough ideas or scenes that come to mind, even if they’re just random everyday moments. I often think back to funny or weird things I’ve experienced or seen, which helps me come up with more relatable stories for Highbury Hills.

    In Highbury Hills, I try to show themes of friendship, humor, and the everyday struggles of growing up. Keith and Charles often get into tricky situations, but what I really want to focus on is how they stick together, learn from their mistakes, and grow. There’s also a sense of community, with different characters interacting and influencing each other, showing how relationships help shape who we are.

    If a monkeys typing infinitely can produce the works of Shakespeare I suppose a cat can win a game of chess.

    Cats find chess too easy, that's why you never see them playing it

    The way it's worded Charles is correct.

    At its core, the comic is about how it’s okay to mess up or feel out of place sometimes. Those moments usually lead to the funniest or most valuable lessons. I hope readers can laugh along with the characters and maybe even see a bit of themselves in their experiences.

    Professor called out: And here, one without name, 32%... - I went to take it and out my name on it. Had over 70% in the other, means I passed. (Didn't write the second one)

    When I was little, my older brother and I would often play Mario Party (yes, the original) and SSB. When I would start winning, he would get pissed. I didnt want the TV broken and I wanted to keep playing with him, so I'd start losing on purpose (without his knowledge). It was a little sad that I wasn't really allowed to win, but I just wanted to be with someone and not feel so lonely all the time.

    The most rewarding part of creating comics for me is seeing how readers connect with the characters and stories. When someone leaves a comment saying they laughed, or that a certain scene reminded them of something from their own life, it’s a great feeling. I love that I can take everyday experiences and turn them into something that brings a little joy or a smile to someone’s day.

    Another rewarding aspect is the creative freedom. I get to explore different scenarios, experiment with humor, and bring ideas to life visually. It’s a fun way to express myself and share my perspective with the world. Seeing it all come together in a finished comic is always satisfying, especially knowing it resonated with others.

    Got taken to Alien back then by a girl. Thought it was a Star-Trek-like Sc-Fi... Melted into the seat.

    I dont understand the hate for this. Sweet and savory has been a flavor combo for ages. It's yummy, and people are switching up recipes all the time. Live a little, let others live some, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else. No, your oversensitiveness doesn't count (I'm looking at you gay panickers).
