This is a series of comic books that I have been doing since November 2008. It's about a family, the Murphys, and how they deal with their everyday mishaps, such as taking care of two relatives for two weeks or getting the National Anthem wrong. They are based on my imaginary family(Dan, Nana, Sam, Bloo, Harry, and Charley).
Dan owns a thrift store; Nana is retired and keeps the house in proper order; Sam stays home to take care of her ghost friend, Bloo; Harry and Charley are nonidentical twins going to kindergarten and causing trouble wherever they go, and I am the aunt, obsessed with laptops, TV, the latest fashions, gossip magazines, and trying to keep everyone from getting into either a train wreck or a car accident.
They have a pet parrot named Cubbling, who was once an office pet and a circus parrot. He likes to eat gourmet foods, and watch his favorite TV show, An Evening With Mozart. He is in love with Nana's gold plaster owl, which she won at the fair, thanks to Dan. What he really doesn't like is bratty little kids, such as Harry's cousins Conrad, Erica, and baby Juliana.
Here are the book titles, starting with number one:
1. The Murphys' Christmas: A perfect Christmas in 2008
2. The Murphys go to the Farm!
3. The Murphys Vs. The Executive pt. 1!
4. The Murphys Vs. The Executive pt. 2!
5. the Murphys' Road Trip!
6. The Murphys Run for Treasurer!
7. the Murphys Get Locked in the Bathroom!
8. The Murphys' revenge of the Babysat pt. 1!
9. The Murphys' Revenge of the Babysat pt. 2!
10. The Murphys Get a New Car!
and finally,
11. The Murphys Get the National Anthem Wrong!
I'm still working on The Murphys have a Bazaar but it will come out soon. Then it will be book twelve!
Let's hope for fifty more!!!
