1d • West of Normal
Sean and BoBo Characters
So a lot of you have no idea I have a brother.
This is mostly because our family tree looks less like a tree and more like one of those emergency evacuation diagrams you don’t really understand until the fire alarm goes off. Everyone’s got stuff. Ours just came with bonus levels and no tutorial.
I love the guy to death.
We both went through a spectacular amount of things we never should have. We were kids. Like… small humans. With backpacks and weird haircuts. Not junior adults assigned to handle adult chaos while pretending everything was normal because someone really, really wanted the American Family™ experience. You know, smiles, denial, and “we don’t talk about that.”
Spoiler alert: we talked about it. Eventually. And then we moved on. Because the past is the past, and I refuse to live in a rerun nobody asked for.
Fast-forward.
I’m the creator of West of Normal, which exists because reality is weird, childhood is complicated, and humor is cheaper than therapy (but still very effective). And this character right here? Sean.
Yep. That’s my brother.
Not a literal biography. More like a vibe. Punk hair. Too much technology. A boogie monster under the bed that offers unsolicited medical misinformation. You know. Childhood.
This strip isn’t about trauma. It’s about surviving it with humor intact. It’s about kids who grew up too fast and adults who learned how to laugh anyway. It’s about love, resilience, and occasionally yelling “MOM!!!” at imaginary monsters who absolutely should know better.
Love you, man.
Thanks for surviving it with me.
Also… sorry I made your boogie monster talk.
