Retirement gifts: their career as a personalized comic book, for a woman or a man
Twenty, thirty or forty years on the job deserve more than an engraved pen. For a retirement, a personalized comic book tells a whole working life with a laugh: the early days, the coworkers, the habits of the office, the workshop or the classroom, and to finish, everything that's waiting for them now.
You make it in about ten minutes by chatting with our AI scriptwriter. There's no form involved. The cover and the first page are drawn for free with their face, so you only order if you like them.
- 24 comic pages
- 10 free retouches
- Delivered in 6 to 8 business days
A whole career in 24 pages
The first day, the first boss, the office moves, the software they had to learn along the way, everyone else's retirement parties: our AI scriptwriter asks the questions and turns each era into a chapter. That's the story of the example book on our site, "The Whistle Sets Sail": Bernard, a PE teacher retiring after 30 years, given to him by his fellow teachers. His habit of blowing his whistle when the coffee is ready became chapter 8.
The last chapter: life after work
The trip they've been putting off for years, the boat, the vegetable garden, the camper, picking up the grandkids from school at last: the comic can end with their retirement plans. A way of saying "enjoy what's next" rather than goodbye.
From the coworkers or from the family
At work, one person creates the comic and gathers the team's stories, and the whole department can sign the dedication. In the family, the kids tell what their parent used to say after a long day at work, and their partner what they've heard at dinner for thirty years. The people who come up in the stories can be drawn too, from a photo you add in the chat.
Retirement gifts for women and for men
There's no ready-made "retirement gift for men" or "for women" here: the comic starts from what you tell us about her or him. You pick the tone (gentle, teasing or roast-style) and the topics to avoid, so it can be read aloud at the retirement party in front of everyone, then kept on the shelf.
Story ideas for their retirement comic
- The first Monday with no alarm… and still up at 6:30.
- Their first day, thirty years ago, and the outfit that went with it.
- The fax machine, the photocopier, then video calls: every revolution they lived through.
- The "back in my day" slipped into every meeting.
- The Friday cakes, and the recipe everyone keeps asking for.
- The camper already booked, and the route already printed out.

How is your personalised comic book made?
No form to fill in: you tell our AI scriptwriter about the star of the comic, and it turns it all into a personalised comic book.
-
Step 1
Tell us about the star
Their photo, their nickname, their quirks, their catchphrases and your stories: our AI scriptwriter asks the right questions, in about ten minutes.
-
Step 2

Our AI scriptwriter writes a 24-page comic book: one short funny story per habit. Something to change? Just ask.
-
Step 3
See the free preview
The cover and the first page are created with their face, before you pay anything.
-
Step 4
Order, the AI creates the rest
The other pages are generated as soon as you order, and you can retouch them for free before printing.
Free retouches before printing
Once your comic book is ordered, you can have any page you don't like changed, for free, up to 10 retouches.
- You see every page before it is printed.
- Something to change? Describe it in a few words.
- The AI redoes the page with your change.
- Nothing is printed until you approve your comic book.
When should you order to have it before the retirement party?
The printed comic book is delivered in 6 to 8 working days after you approve the pages. Leave time to gather stories from coworkers or family and to read the pages over too: starting the comic three weeks before the party is a safe bet. For a retirement celebrated in December, order early and check the Christmas delivery dates on the book page. The PDF version doesn't depend on shipping.
