When asked to describe his work in three words, the cartoonist jokingly responded: “WOW, THAT’S GENIUS!” before adding, “Just kidding… sort of. Actually, I’d say the three words are FUNNY, CLEVER, and SILLY. Ultimately, I try to make my comics funny, which usually involves a clever twist or a silly concept—something that will make people laugh, smile, or whatever gesture one does to express joy.”

We reached out to the cartoonist to learn more about his work. Dave shared how he first found inspiration to start creating comics: “I couldn’t tell the difference between my imagination and the real world. Everything seems funny to me. So, I had to find some way to deal with it. Not really. Actually, I read a comic once, but I misread the caption, and I made it funnier. So, I thought, ‘Hey, I can write funny stuff.’ Then I found out cartoonists get paid. So, I thought, ‘Hey, I’ll do that.'”RELATED:The artist revealed the secret behind his comic creation process: “I use a magic formula. It consists of 3 secret ingredients. I mix them together in a glass of grapefruit juice. Then, zim-zam-kabam, the funny ideas come! Had you going, didn’t I?” Then he added: “Actually, I look at everything from a different perspective. Like when I think of a sock drawer, something else comes to mind. I can’t help it. It’s second nature to me.”We were curious about which artists’ styles in the world of comics inspire Dave. He shared: “There are thousands of cartoonists and they all have their own style. But I don’t admire anyone’s style. I admire their thinking. Their ideas.Their humor. Their twist on life. Their unique view of the world. I admire genius thinking. I admire a lot of cartoonists. Too many to list.”Lastly, the cartoonist shared what he finds most rewarding about creating comics: “For me, there are 3 rewards as a cartoonist. One, the joy of making someone happy. Two, I’m always amazed when I create something new. And three, receiving money for it. And what keeps me motivated? The same three things.”See Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored Panda
