Each comic of his tends to offer either a light-hearted or a darker take on various themes, raising an eyebrow or with a dash of unexpectedness when it comes to the results themselves.

Discussing how his artistic process has evolved since he started creating comics, he shared, “Going back to my childhood, my brothers were both very athletic and I was the artsy kid. So while they took to the field, I took to the page and fell in love with drawing comics. I first started drawing superhero comics but quickly started cartooning as I found there was more humour in my work than action. Outside of high school art classes and some courses I took in my spare time, I have no formal art education. I picked up doing digital art a few years ago and have found my work improved since I started. Nowadays I find I’m developing more of an artistic shorthand as my style is starting to coalesce into something that I find speaks to me. I feel that I have more confidence in my comic making but not enough of an ego to think I’ve learned everything.”
When asked to share a memorable moment or reaction from a fan that has stood out to him, the artist revealed to us, “A couple of years ago I drew a fantasy comic strip about a helmet that turns people into bottles. Wherever I posted it, the people commenting really had fun with it! It was the first time I felt that I really struck a chord with readers as they engaged with the comic and between themselves. It felt very inspiring to the point that I’m working (very slowly) to make that a long form comic. I also really appreciate the times I’ve seen my comics be translated into other languages and notice (through translation apps) that people enjoy my work. It makes me feel like the world is a bit smaller and more whole that someone in India or Turkey can enjoy a d*** joke as much as I do.”
Finally, when asked what advice he would give to aspiring comic artists who are just beginning their journey, Dennis thoughtfully advised, “Never be afraid of change. When I first started out I drew comics about robots and then got dissatisfied with it. There was a part of me that thought that I was failing at making comics but instead of quitting I just changed what I was doing. It took me a few years before I landed on something that hit a chord with myself and with readers. So don’t look at feelings of dissatisfaction or ‘failure’ as an ending, it’s an opportunity to move on to something else. Also, make friends in this medium. I have made a lot of friends through this and that is something that keeps me going. There’s a big enough community in webcomics that you’ll find people to connect with, so don’t get too far up your own a**.”
