Sarah Graley is a full-time writer and artist living in Birmingham, UK, with her fiancé and four adorable cats.
The artist created a comic journal called, Our Super Adventure, which revolves around her cats and boyfriend Stef, whom she met eight years ago.
“I was making plush ghosts for an indie punk band that we both really like (Johnny Foreigner, they’re great and you should check them out!), and the band advertised a link to my Tumblr page and we ended up meeting through Tumblr pretty much,” Graley told Bored Panda. “A few years later we went on a first date and the rest is history! Stef recently proposed to me on our seventh anniversary which was super sweet!”
“I grew up with cats, so when me and Stef started renting a house together, it didn’t take long for us to come to the decision that we’d love to get cats of our own,” she continued. “We got Pesto and Toby in October 2013, and they were sisters from the same litter. A year or so later, Pesto got pregnant and had a litter of four – we kept Wilson and Pixel.” Others went to their relatives.
Graley started the comics to document their moment together as a couple. “We talk to loads of people at comic shows and online who tell us that they do the silly stuff we do in the comics as well and that’s really sweet! I think there are a lot of playful nerdy relationships in the world and it’s nice to know there’s a bunch of people out there in relationships with their best pal who have a friendly sense of humor in their companionship.”
The comic series Our Super Adventure will be published by Oni Press in 2019. The first book titled, Our Super Adventure: Press Start To Begin, will be out in March 2019 and the second book, Video Games and Pizza Parties, is set to be released later that year too.
