Life doesn’t always go according to plan—but sometimes, an unexpected turn leads us exactly where we’re meant to be. That was the case for Mike Swaim, a North Carolina-based artist whose journey into comics began in the most surprising way: with a gentle push from his daughter after he was laid off in 2013.

Inspired by his love of sci-fi, his travels, and a background in anthropology, Mike’s illustrations combine charm, wit, and subtle life lessons. Characters like Dani and Lulu, born from early sketches he shared online, quickly took on a life of their own—and now, they’re at the heart of his creative world.

Scroll down to explore the most recent strips from this series that we’ve selected for you today.
