Freelance Freedom #173: Freelancer Dad



PG

N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.

    I share your pain! I am in the exact same boat. It’s challenging, but it’s 110% worth it. Keep up the good work!

    This is MY life. Only the voice saying, “I’m home” should have also added, “Geez, what did you DO all day?”

    1. PG Q

      Mine too. It used to drive me nuts. Now I just blow off the comments.

      Oh that and instead of breakfast getting pushed it was normally lunch for me.

    Being a parent teaches you a whole new skillset – it’s all about multi-tasking, and no the kid doesn’t come with a manual, it’s all uncharted turf.

    School holidays are the hardest – need a degree in entertainment to manage the household – thank god for playstation

  7. PG Adam

    Must be tuff to juggle both.

  8. PG Andy @ FirstFound

    Ahh, being a freelance parent is EASY!

    Or not… Great cartoon.

  9. PG Mozzaey

    LOL! Story of my life and you guys thought freelancing was easy.

  10. PG Phillipe Calmet Williams

    I guess this is how my life will be next year, since I have a child on the way :P

  11. PG Dustin

    Holy crap, this is how everyday goes! Ugh… trying to get more then 20 hours of real work time in a week is challenging enough, let alone eating and relaxing. Great worked, you nailed it perfectly!

  12. PG Stephanie Gonzaga

    This is adorable! Great comic :)

  13. PG Ben

    I think he needs some miniature bunny slippers.

  14. PG John E

    Great work! I’m lucky enough to work from home AND have a stay at home mommie to help me! ;)

    @Tamixes – Actually kids don’t come with a manual but there is one you can buy http://www.thinkgeek.com/books/b5e5/

    I just purchased the toddler version.

  16. PG Jonathan

    This was my Monday :-)

  17. PG Duncan

    Oh this is so very true. In fact it reminds me… better go eat!

  18. PG Ben

    Er, should I be worried? Because I’m about 5 weeks away from trying to make this my life (full time dad, part time freelance writer). Hilarious, and yet, frighteningly ominous.
