Madeline’s comics are definitely on the edgier side. However, this is how the artist described the art style herself: “My cartoons are single panel for the New Yorker as well as the occasional multi-panel comic. It’s hard for me to say I have a specific style. Whatever comes from me is the style, and I cannot control it.”

Bored Pandareached out to Madeline, who shared a bit about herself.
“I am an American-born cartoonist, currently living in London as a graduate student at The Royal College of Art. My hobbies include nonfiction books, nature walks, and visiting historical sites,” wrote Madeline.
We were curious about Madeline’s creative process and how she generates ideas for new comics. The artist shared: “The best way I think about it is making connections between seemingly unrelated topics. Every topic has a metaphorical clasp and if you can create some sort of link in the clasps, you have a joke. So that’s a great lesson to humor, and making connections.”
Madeline’s story of becoming a successful cartoonist involved various odd jobs. The artist explained how all of those experiences influenced the content of her comics.“Those many odd jobs involved meeting and working with a lot of various people with different experiences. I know comedy seems like it’s about being misanthropic but I have found the opposite to be true. In the two years I lived in Tucson working at a movie theater, I made no art but the art I make is because of that experience.”

Madeline’s comics might make it seem that the artist is truly a character, but as she wrote herself: “I promise, I’m nice. My work seems weird, but I’m a sweetie!”And lastly, Madeline added: “Have a life outside your art, embrace the non-art hobbies. It all seeps through. The experiences and interests you have outside of art will affect what you make.”
