Daddy Issues..Why did it take so long?
5 years ago
This comic basically exists because of my amazing Patrons and the incredible feedback I got from that original “Wake up Son” pic.
I even made a really short comic based on that pic and everyone seem to like the characters and so did I.
Now here is something you most likely didn’t know. Daddy Issues was originally a small section of Orientation Day (I think I had a different name for that comic at the time) It was a compressed version of DI and was not NEARLY going to go into as much juicy details as the full comic. It basically was going to hint at Dillon and Justin’s relationship without outright showing it, even though some other characters were catching on.
Now I know some of you got a serious case of blue balls from Mathew and Andy. So after thinking about it for a while and having all the perverted ideas I had for those two.. I decided to make it into a comic by itself but would still have connections to OD. This however, was going to take a LOT more work and I had to change up the story for Andy’s comic a bit. Now I had two comics I was working on, My Patreon content and commissions. The workload was high but I was handling it.
I had originally planned Daddy Issues to be 10-12 pages the most…Guess what? I decided it needed to be longer. I was not going to get the comic the way I wanted it in 12 pages.
It was about this time (2015-2016) that I ran into some personal problems, professionally and health wise. I was on the verge of absolute burn out. I had to stop my Patreon for a while and I almost decided to discontinue Daddy Issues but I didn’t. I decided to instead give the axe to commissions and seriously cut down on how many I took. I am sure most of your noticed that. I really needed that extra time.
Well I eventually got on Patreon again, things started to slowly fall back together and I resumed work on Daddy Issues while the newer Orientation day was getting ready for launch.
So please don’t think I had the entire Daddy Issues comic completed and was slowly leaking it out over the years. Sure I had the story, characters and everything down. I just had not drawn the damn thing yet.
Every page my patrons got was pretty much drawn and finished in the month it was released.
Now is it my fault for taking on so many projects at once? Yah I guess you can say that.
Am I slow at doing comics? LOL I guess I am but I have employed some new techniques on how I approach getting each page done. I started doing it with Orientation day and definitely see a huge improvement.
People talk a lot of crap about my comic and even me as a person and I could not ..care..LESS LOL
But If you ever supported me on Patreon, watch and faved my art here or even left a comment of encouragement..I wanted you to hear the explanation from ME and that you guys are the real reason I will keep doing my thing ^^

We love our consistent ram daddy serving consistently good art!!!!
It was definitely worth the wait ❤️
Stay awesome
If you did take your time or not whit "Daddy Issues" you are the Artist, and at least for me, I'm the spectator of your work & it was free, what more can I ask? Thank you Aaron!
"Nothing is better than cheep & free"
Also, life's been happening a lot to me, too. So, I sorta understand.
Joking aside, Daddy Issues was great fun. A job well done. ^^
WHat I love about your comics in general is always that funny undertone they have at times, certain panels where you can laugh your ass off literally, this is great! So keep up the great work and try not to let yourself get down by bad comments or whatever.
Also this is just a suggestion but maybe to prevent burnout do a comic page every other month? Or the way your comics usually are paneled, half a comic page each month/cut each page in half making 2x pages?
Personally, I just wanna see more of the 7 fucking in any combination. Even Andy screwing Dillon >;3 Smol bunny on hyooge bear
Definitely gonna consider getting back onto your patreon as well.
