This adorable comic titled 'Cycles of Life' depicts a very select idea of what growing up means. Taking a literal approach to 'cycles,' the illustration integrates bikes into the depictions.
Beginning with the classic tricycle, the illustrations also incorporate child attachments, tandem bikes and even a unicycle to depict the class stages of life. Funny and simple, the drawings are so likable it doesn't need any bells and whistles to make it work. The illustrations are colored with pastels and the illustrations are very cartoonish, adding a cute factor into the mix.
The artist Grant Snider is apparently on the verge of fatherhood, so it makes sense that he would make a piece of this nature just in time for the arrival.
