Fifty years together? That’s half a century of love, memories, and moments that deserve to be celebrated—and golden is the color of the day. Looking for ideas that go beyond jewelry and etched glasses? Here are five standout gifts that combine tradition with personalization from us, Make Me A Comic complete with real examples from our custom comic and portrait work.
1. Custom Comic Strip Love Story
Why it’s special:
Imagine capturing five decades of love, laughter, and adventures in comic-strip form—personal, meaningful, and totally unique. The comic story will start from when they first met 50 years ago. it will go include 5 decades of memories, first "i love you", moving in together, engagement, wedding, having kids, vacations, grandkids etc. As the comic continues we watch our couple fall in love and age - this is a sensatioal gift for any couple whether its their 1st wedding anniversary or their 50th.
The people in the comic story will look just like the couple, their kids, their pets, their house. It's hyper-personalized, no AI is used, we hand drawn everything from scratch, 100% human!

2. Dancing Couple Portrait
Why it works:
This custom hand drawn portrait captures a timeless moment, we could recreate their first dance at their wedding 50 years ago, or we can draw the happy couple as they look now. Dancing together in their favourite outfits. You can eveb choose the dance pose, so if the couple in questions are into rock n/n roll,ace the waltz or have taken tango classes, we can recreate that.
Across the top add a heartfelt message to your favourite couple, wishing them all the best for their golden anniversary.

3. Classic Car Couple Portrait
Why it’s different:
Very similar to the 50th anniversary portrait of the couple dancing. Drawn to the same level of detail, but more for the car fanatics than. the dance fanatics. Perhaps we draw them how they look now but in their wedding car from 50 years ago. or perhaps we draw them from their wedding day.
This is a more unusual portrait design, again all hand drawn by a professional comic artist. We use ultiple photos to get the likeness accurate. I think our 5 star reviews speak for themselves.
