Born out of the American Independent Comics Movement, Silly Daddy is the name of a comic book, graphic novel and webcomics blog by Joe Chiappetta. Started shortly after the birth of his first child in 1991, fine artist Joe Chiappetta began his career as Silly Daddy, a mostly autobiographical comic series centered around his experience (and lack thereof) as a father. Since Joe is a resident of the Chicago suburbs, most of the Silly Daddy adventures take place in the Chicago area or local dreamland. Major themes in this eclectic series include (in no particular order) parenting, family relationships, goofing off, the search for meaning in life and redemption. The print comic version and the webcomic have elements of humor, surrealism and life observations.
