Mangled Stare is a family comic from the heart. I started this comic when my wife was pregnant with our first child. I really wanted to leave my children some sort of visual legacy. I remember being about 7 or 8 years old when I decided I wanted to be a cartoonist. With impending fatherhood, I figured it was time to get that ball rolling. Now my kiddos offer up comic ideas and even offer to help with coloring and art. It has really become a family project that just keeps growing.
