Every Comicly customer hits the same moment: you open the story chat, the cursor blinks, and your entire shared history with this person evaporates. Suddenly you can't remember a single thing.

It's normal. Use one of these.

For a partner 1. The funniest fight you ever had about something stupid. 2. The first weekend you spent away together. 3. A trip that went completely wrong and you laughed anyway. 4. The dumbest restaurant you both secretly love. 5. The week you got the dog / cat / fish / plant. 6. The day they moved in. 7. The disastrous family dinner. 8. Their "you had to be there" story you've heard a hundred times.

For a parent 9. The car they drove when you were a kid. 10. Their kitchen — the way it actually looked. 11. A holiday tradition they invented. 12. The job they had before they had you. 13. A moment they were unreasonably proud of you. 14. The advice they gave that you ignored and now repeat to others.

For a kid 15. Their bedroom. 16. Their stuffed animal — as a real character. 17. The thing they want to be when they grow up. 18. Their best friend at school. 19. The dinner they refuse to eat. 20. The pet they want but can't have (yet).

For a friend 21. The first time you met. 22. The trip that became a long-running joke. 23. The bar / café / park where you spent too much time. 24. The terrible idea you both went through with. 25. The day you'd live again if you could.

For a colleague 26. The project from hell that you survived together. 27. Their famous quote that lives in the team Slack. 28. The client / vendor / executive that became a meme. 29. The thing only they can do at this company. 30. The first day they showed up vs. now.

How to use these Pick one. Type it into the story chat almost verbatim. Add three real details: a name, a place, a feeling. The AI will run with it from there.

You don't have to write the comic. You just have to start the story.
