Ervin L. Johnson had been working for an education media company, doing technical support. The company had been sold for a second time since he had been there and they were informed that all support operations were being transferred to the corporate headquarters in Nebraska.
It was a shock at first, he had been with the company for 13 yrs, and just about everybody in the company knew him. He was the guy who brought his son to work on "bring your daughter to work day".
During the transition to corporate, he had a chance to think about what he would do and some things he wanted to do. one of the things he wanted to do, was to write a book. Everybody wants to write a book right? He thought he could make it different if he added drawings to it. After awhile, the book became a graphic novel, but he thought that would take too long and he didn't have the patience. And the choice was changed again, and a comic strip was born... sort of
While he enjoyed reading the funnies, he had never done any. He could draw pretty good - he turned down an acceptance to the acclaimed Arts High School in Newark NJ. The concept came about during a time he was reflecting on his time at his company, and how moving could affect his son. And thus, was the idea for his new comic. The Single Dad Diaries was born!
