The Kind You Don't Bring Home to Mother
Sure, werewolves are frightening when the moon is full, but the rest of the month they’re just ordinary people! "The Kind You Don’t Bring Home to Mother" is a werewolf comic without the werewolves, created by Ryan Estrada, the artist behind the Neatorama comic.
I had an ill-fated romance in India a few years back. I was on a plane to Mumbai to pick up my girlfriend, who had decided to travel the world with me, despite her parent’s protests that she was seeing a foreigner.
It was a long flight, and I was nervous, excited, and scared. So I decided to draw a comic just to pass the time. I gave myself a completely random jumping off point: to make a werewolf comic without a werewolf in it.
But with all that was on my mind, the comic subconsciously became about a relationship, with lycanthropy basically being a metaphor for cultural differences, and the characters came to represent where I was in my relationship.
Though the girl dumped me shortly after I got off the plane, the comic stuck with me.

Neatorama Comic by Ryan Estrada

Ryan Estrada wrote to us about his website, Cartoon Commune, where you can get your own made-to-order (and very reasonably priced) custom comic books, children’s books, illustrations, animations and songs. Cartoon Commune has a team of 5 illustrators, each with their unique styles, so you can select one that matches your taste.
What to do with a custom comic? Well, for one, they make a fantastic gift:
Turn your significant other into a superhero. Have your kid’s bedtime story adapted into a book they can read themselves. Turn your ‘how we got together’ story into an unique wedding favor, or anniversary gift. Get a new "our song" that’s actually written about the two of you.
Ryan Estrada drew for us a fantastic comic book starring Neatoramanaut and Neatoramabot – besides the cute drawing, he even rhymed the captions!
