Making of "Embarrassing" (Patreon)

6yo is always getting up to ridiculous antics and then refusing to do something simple because it's "too embarrassing".  

Three is always a good number for comedy so I brainstormed 3 embarrassing things for him to be doing at the start.  I had other more specific ideas (eg using display toilet in store or announcing a fart in crowded elevator) but I trimmed it down to visual gags that didn't make the panels too busy.

I hadn't originally planned on using my Mum's jumper design but got stuck trying to think of something to put on there.  All the best jumpers were Christmas ones, but I didn't want to have to shelve the comic until then.  I'd happened to tweet about the Knitabilty book recently, so that gave me the idea to make it the same jumper I wore when I was his age!
