I think that there is yet another career taking shape for you here. In years to come Jack will appreciate the record of his life that you are creating.

I do hope that I am not like that teacher with my students.

I'm enjoying the humor and the tonalities of the strips! They've sparked me into recreating a few of my own childhood flashes on paper.
Whatever direction you personally go with these, Danny, they're a good kick.

I think capturing elements of Jack's life in a comic is a wonderful idea. The one sketchbook I have kept and worked in for about 6 years now is a record of my daughter's life. In it I draw, scribble, paste and record aspects of her life at different ages. I don't put huge amounts in it, I fill perhaps 6 or 7 pages for each year of her life, but it's a way of remembering particular incidents, favourite books, etc - things that tend to merge into aone hazy whole by the time you reach adult life.

She's 9 now and loves looking through it to see what she was crazy about when she was 5 or 6. So it's great for her, and for me, it's the one thing that has always brought me back to my sketchbook habit when I've lapsed for a little while.
