Ah, dry brushes and ink wash. That’s what I miss the most when I now draw more digitally.Comment on this strip →

If you visit Tromsø in January you will experience Tromsø International Film Festival 🍿 We try to teach our kids to enjoy the festival and the art of world wide cinema, but those movies are truly unpredictable. Which can be traumatising sometimes… I’m…

This strip hints that there’s a grandpa figure who will be present in the strip. That’s what I thought too, at the time, but … we haven’t seen him yet, in these 1700+ strips…?Comment on this strip →

Someone told me that this strip was used to explain 4 act (storytelling) structure at a film school. I hope it’s true! Because hearing that made me really proud.Comment on this strip →

I’m sort of proud to see that by strip four, quite a lot of the character dynamics are there. Gustav is the clever boy, doing his homework. Siri Anne wants to play games. Dad, JensK, is into gaming. (That part was probably autobiographical at the time, but…

This one is based on a true story. I came home from work one day and found a kid jumping on our sofa. It wasn’t one of my kids. In fact, none of my kids were even there. I liked it as an introduction to SIRI ANNE. She enters the strip jumping from the…

Okay, the skull Jens continues for one more strip, and looking back I think I ended that idea much too quickly. I was still learning how to write a daily strip, and I had a tendency to burn through an idea and restore normality way too fast. Later I…

That’s how you start a run of 1700+ daily strips! At least that’s how I did it, at the beginning of January 2017. The feeling going into that year was very much like a big, global hangover. 2016 had been exhausting, and the new year started with the orange…
