Currently, Dyakov works in purchasing and does not to be in the office all the time. Making comics is his side gig that brings in a little bit of money as well. Enough for the artist to pay a few bills each month. "Maybe it is possible to generate more income from it but creating the series, most of all, is a way for me to express myself. I am glad I am able to tell stories and don't really think about selling them."
"Some of my colleagues follow the series without knowing I am the author. A few of my friends are the same, too," Dyakov said. "I don't really care about likes. The most important thing for me is that both people I know and complete strangers relate to real-life situations in the comics even if they are a bit exaggerated. If my works stir up someone's feelings -- either positive or negative -- I view it as a success."
Interestingly, an ex-colleagues of Dyakov showed some of the comics to his ex-superior. "He thought some of the strips were funny until somebody pointed out that he sometimes acts exactly like Sova."
