Nobody warns you about the house. The boiler, the neighbour with opinions, the first winter with the wrong coats. A comic makes the move a story worth telling: your family drawn from photos, the new place as it really stands, and every issue the next thing that went wrong.
Write where you've moved from, where to, and who came with you — the kids, the dog, the piano nobody wanted to carry. Everyone or Teen as the rating, depending on how the move went.
Ligne Claire draws a house the way it really stands, Sunday Funnies makes the neighbours a strip, Minimal-Line Memoir keeps the quiet of the first night.
Give the family model sheets from photos, with everyone's permission, and tell the studio about the house and the street — the places get the same care as the cast.
Every issue is the next thing the house does. Drop it into the comic desk's ideas box as it happens, read the script, and download each finished issue for the family who stayed behind.
Press start and the premise lands in the box of a new comic with its look already picked. Change every word, or the look, before anything is drawn.
A family moves from a city flat to a leaning farmhouse at the end of a muddy lane, and every issue the house — the well, the boiler, the attic nobody has opened — hands them one more job their neighbour swears is easy.
In the Ligne Claire look
Start with this ideaA woman moves alone onto a terraced street where every neighbour has a rule about the bins, and the first winter is a slow war of snow shovels, borrowed ladders and one shared broken fence.
In the Sunday Funnies look
Start with this ideaOr in any of the twenty-eight. A comic picks one look on its second step, and every panel of every issue keeps it.
Describe it in the premise — the colour, the roof, the lane — and the studio draws the place in your look and keeps it from issue to issue. It's the comic's version of your house, not a photo of it.
Yes, with their permission if you add their photos. Or give them a description and let the studio draw them, and keep the real names to yourself.
