Big Syd Comics

Ever since I was a kid, I loved reading and drawing comics. Whenever the Sunday paper would come in the mail, I would immediately flip to the comics page to catch up on the latest editions of Garfield, Dennis the Menace, Calvin and Hobbes and many others. My favorite comics to read growing up, and also a huge source of inspiration for me were the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney and the Peanuts Comics by Charles Schulz. As time passed on, my free time hobby eventually turned into a passion and with the help of the Mentorship Institute Program and the Oak Park Public Library, I was able to start my own business making and selling my own personal comics.

I identify as an introvert. I don’t really express myself too much around other people. Making these personal comics not only gives me the freedom to express myself in a humorous way, it also gives people the opportunity to get to know me better.

I upload content regularly to Instagram! For additional information about my business and the comics I make, Follow Me @bigsydcomics
