Comics By Yoyoha (New Pics)

Bored Pandawanted to learn more about Yoyoha’s series, so we reached out to the cartoonist with a few questions about his work. First, Josh shared what specific elements he finds most effective in creating humor in his comics: “Being on a constant wheel of consumption, contemplation, and creation is the most effective way to get ideas. I avoid consuming too much comic material as I never want other people’s ideas to affect my own. Still, without others’ successes as inspiration, I don’t think I would get better at anything—much less how to draw something that will make people laugh.”

Next, the cartoonist shared which aspects of being a comic artist he finds most rewarding and what keeps him motivated to continue creating new strips: “It’s the search for an original idea. I spend a sizable portion of my creative time filling sketchbooks with thoughts, meanderings, and drawings of things that inspire me. I refuse to sketch anything out first, just straight to ink, because I don’t want anything in my sketchbooks to feel overly precious. So, thousands of ideas find their way into that stream of consciousness, and not all of them are trying to be finished cartoons, either. But, occasionally, an idea stands out and screams at me to make the extra effort and draw something for public consumption.”

Finally, Josh shared which comics from his series stand out as his personal favorites: “It’s hard to pick a single comic, but there have been a few instances in the past where one really catches fire and perfectly echoes a sentiment so many people feel, like ‘A Breakdown of My Morning Shower’ or the ‘First and Last Snow of the Season’.But if I had to pick a personal favorite, it would be ‘Poppy Seed Log’because it’s so weird and unique.”
