Do your friends, family or significant others read your comics?

I did show it to my mum's friend's son who also makes digital art XD

My friends and my colleagues do but my parents don’t (they’re really supportive, but they just aren’t into comics and sequential art).

I don't show it to my family because me family are the most judgemental people. I think my parents are eager to read my stuff but I think they are expecting it to be more like the comic Mutts. So inoffensive and super wholesome.

My siblings don't really care. My little brother also draws comics yet I never read them. Maybe if he wasn't so shy I could do a collab with him IDK.

I do tell people I meet I write a comic and I do sometimes send links. Tho I don't think they read them at all.

Some friends and family read em-- most don't. I don't really ever expect em to. They're not typically the audience for my work and I don't really feel the need to push it on them. I do give my parents first editions of whatever books I have in print and they always ask in every phone call "So, what are you working on?" I think its more that they just want to be sure I'm working still and earning money not so much interested in the actual comics which is more than alright by me!

My significant other is also a full time cartoonist and we read all of each other's work. Usually in a kinda editing capacity before things go through an actual editor. Sometimes it's just punching up each other's jokes. I think we're probably each other's biggest fans. Or maybe we're just trapped together and its Stockholm syndrome!!

I would kill to have a family member who draws comics. I would force them to collab even if it was terrible. >:~)

my online friends xD no one from real life. Oh! now my husband will read my new project when i finish it xD he read script and want to see how it will look in comic

[Lilmonstart]

well my family just doesn´t undertand it since it´s in english lmao and some friends read it, and I think it´s good since they can also share my story to get to more people
the thing is that they mostly use webtoon besides that they introduced the app to me so I appreciate their support

[Tanako]

Well I had friends that did. And some of my family members did, at least when I was still drawing PG13 and shoujo stories lol but now? Nah…
I transitioned into BL stories and nothing else. If they don’t want their eyes to “burn”, from all the xxx scenes, it’s best they keep away. And oh, my husband does not mind, I just don’t want to show him

My parents have cheered me all along. Though in terms of them reading my comic, even though it's nothing bad or about illegal stuff, just having my parents read it feels soo weird and uncomfortable. Like will their perspective on me change for some reason? idk I just feel that way

[Teira]

Nah, I don't think they'd be very interested in it. I like sharing it more with complete strangers online anyway.
