Founder of Indelible Joy & Creator of the S.T.R.I.P. Down to Joy™ Method
I'm Just a Guy With A Magic Marker Empowering Others to Make Their Indelible Mark in the World
I used to think my Magic Markers were permanent and Joy, fleeting.
Turns out, I had it all backwards. Start your day with a little ink, insight, and inspiration.
The markers? Not so permanent. The joy? Turns out that’s the real magic.
Those rare, blissful moments of being in the zone while I drew started to last longer.
Eventually, they spilled over into the rest of my life.
Now the same space where I create comics…
is where I create my life—
a space of presence, play, and Indelible Joy.
🧘♂️ I believe focus and discipline are the real spiritual practices.
But let’s be real—
I’m more Baskin Robbins than Tony Robbins.
This life? It isn’t something to master.
It’s something to enjoy.
The real sweetness of life isn’t in your next breakthrough—it’s right here.
Your true nature isn’t just to be happy.
It’s to have fun. To lighten up. To open the conduit to joy.

MORE ABOUT ME
Peter Menice
Peter Menice is an award-winning cartoonist, speaker, and flow coach known for turning creative chaos into lasting joy. Over a 30+ year career, he’s created comics and caricatures for brands like The Boston Globe, General Electric, Disney, Fidelity, King Features Syndicate, and the Charles M. Schulz Museum—where he once played an entire game of baseball using Sparky Schulz’s own glove. (It almost fit.)
But Peter’s greatest discovery? The real magic isn’t in the ink—it’s in the moments of flow behind the drawing. That realization became the seed for his signature coaching framework, the S.T.R.I.P. Down to Joy™ Method, which now helps high-performing dads, artists, and creative souls rediscover joy, focus, and presence—without sacrificing what matters most.
Peter’s path to cartooning traces all the way back to childhood, watching Bozo’s Big Top. But it wasn’t Bozo who captivated him—it was Mr. Lion, a mysterious character in a lion suit and satin ringmaster coat who would sketch kids’ names into animals live on TV. For Peter, it was magic. That marker planted a seed.
Years later, Peter would find out that Mr. Lion was none other than Caroll Spinney—yes, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch himself. And in a surreal full-circle twist, Spinney once offered to draw Peter’s comic strip characters during a run on The Green House, a syndicated strip Peter co-created with Brad Gilchrist. “I didn’t know how to feel about someone else drawing my characters—until Brad casually mentioned Caroll lives in a castle in Scotland and would happily draw them for free.” The project paused due to Brad’s health, but Spinney’s offer—and that magical moment of convergence—still lights Peter up.
Peter lives in Corrales, New Mexico, with his wife, two of their three wonderfully creative kids, zero beachfront… but more than enough soul..
