I loved comics when I was a beautiful little boy and I love comics now I am a grisly old dad.<\/p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">I like comics because, well \u2026 see how boring these words are?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">I grew up in the 1990s. I don\u2019t know if it was a good time for comics because I was a kid and I didn\u2019t read the Bookseller. It seemed good to me because I had a subscription to the Beano and the library was\u00a0packed with\u00a0Tintin and Asterix and stuff. I think I would have loved comics whatever age I was in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We are now in a new Golden Age of comics. I love reading books like\u00a0<i>Dog Man<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Looshkin<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Barry Loser<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Pablo &amp; Splash<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Sister Clawdetta: Murder at the Monastery\u00a0<\/i>with my daughter. They inspired me to\u00a0make my own comic book.<\/p>\n<p>(By the way, some people are happy about kids reading more comics because comics are a gateway to proper reading. That doesn\u2019t make sense to me though. They\u2019re not a \u201cgateway\u201d to reading, they\u00a0<i>are<\/i>\u00a0reading! Reading is reading is reading. It\u2019s like saying chewing and swallowing is a gateway to eating. A \u201cgateway to reading\u201d only makes sense if you are talking about the M4.)<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t remember exactly when I came upon the idea for Dadbot.\u00a0It\u00a0<i>might<\/i>\u00a0have been when I caught sight of myself in the full length-mirror.<\/p>\n<p>DADBOT. Those six little letters were the seed of a character, a family and a story. I planted it in the soil of my mind and pretty soon it took root. Before too long, the sapling of a story emerged.<\/p>\n<p>This will be a laugh, I thought. A classic fish-out-of-water romp with a sprinkling of sci-fi silliness. A naive metal man, two wise-cracking kids and a few bum jokes. And then \u2026 profit! Meanwhile, under the surface, the roots were growing deeper. I ended up writing a meditation on technology, community and what it means to be human. But, you know \u2026 with bum jokes and stuff.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">The whole thing took ages. It was quite ironic because the book is about being wary of technology and staying present with your loved ones and to make it I had to lock myself in a room with an iPad and ignore my own kids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\" aria-hidden=\"true\">I\u2019ve read it with my daughter now. I <i>think<\/i>\u00a0she\u00a0likes\u00a0it! She read an\u00a0early version and\u00a0 helped me out a\u00a0lot. I even stole her robot design for the character of Big Unit. Thanks Clover!<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">That\u2019s it.
