My Why:
As a little kid, I always wanted to create comics and animation so I could tell wild, funny stories from my overactive imagination. As an adult I got to do the animation part for a living for a little while, but sometimes life can throw a curve ball and plans change. So, I entered the world of truck driving.
I want to use this book to be able to tell fun, crazy stories with these characters, while at the same time show children and adults the ins and outs of what it’s really like to being a truck driver.
