Artist and stay-at-home dad Ken Rolston has many adventures with his three-year-old son. Based in the Vancouver, Canada, this dynamic duo's everyday happenings are hilarious — so Rolston decided to turn them into art.
His series of weekly web comics, "Dad vs. the Threenager," has amassed quite an audience — with almost 10,000 Instagram followers and over 75 completed comic strips, it seems like anyone who knows a "threenager" can relate to the father and son.
Whether they're depicting a trip to the grocery store or an attempt at yoga, Rolston's comics want to make you smile — and remind you to appreciate the magic in the mundane.
Here's a look at some of his funniest strips.
Before his son was born, Rolston worked as an artist in the children's entertainment industry.
When he left to be a stay-at-home dad, Rolston began drawing pictures of his son in a sketchbook — starting the day he was born.
"The original idea was to document those little stories that are easily forgotten as time passes," Rolston told INSIDER.
"By the time he turned three, I had joined the 'Society of Children Book Writers and Illustrators' who inspired me to write more, and so the comic strip grew out of an exercise to write a story in three panels."
Rolston draws a comic strip once a week, which allows him time to have adventures with his son that inspire the art.
"It usually takes a couple of days to draw a comic strip, but that’s mostly due to being interrupted to play trains, or cars," Rolston says. "I don't want to miss this time with him. On the days I can sit down and draw it all once, I would say it takes six to eight hours to complete."
