Something to celebrate today as Rachael Smith’s Nap Comix webcomic reaches a landmark number of strips! A press release and some samples for those unfamiliar with the series below.
Rachael Smith’s Adorable Nap Comix Reaches 200 Episodes!
Award-winning comic creator Rachael Smith has been making regular diary comics about her son Henry, since July 2023. These scribbly, urgent, honest slices of life are usually captured quickly, whilst Henry is napping. Detailing the highs and lows of parenthood (nursery settles, nappy changes, friendships, breastfeeding, illnesses, etc…) The comics have been heralded as Smith’s finest, most important work to date, and with the project hitting 200 episodes, now is the perfect time to dive in.
Nap Comix is something everyone should be reading for both wonderful feel good moments and insights into our human condition and is definitely recommended for every new parent to get a realistic, warts-and-all view on how wonderful and difficult this whole new child thing can be.
