Bored Pandareached out to the creators behind Quickies comics, who both kindly answered our questions.

First of all, we were curious to learn more about each of them. Joey shared his story: “I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Alaska, most of my free time was spent with a pen and a pad of paper, drawing anything and everything my young mind could think of. And now, years later, I’m still drawing anything and everything, only now digitally and with bad knees.”

Joey replied: “I grew up on The Far Side, so when Brandon approached me with this comic idea, I was very familiar with that kind of comic storytelling. I saw it as a fun personal challenge to be able to tell a whole story visually in one scene at once, which I had never done before. I think I’m pulling it off. Usually.”

Brandon added: “Like Joey, I also grew up on The Far Side. I was always fascinated with this style of joke-telling - I love the simplicity of it. It’s all about getting to the pure center of the joke.”

Quickies Comic covers a wide array of themes. Brandon explained how they select topics.“Honestly, most of it comes from my life. We’ve been doing this comic for three years and I’ve trained my brain to notice moments throughout the day that might make a good comic. From there, I text Joey the basic idea - the poor guy gets texts from me at all hours of the day. The challenge of telling a full joke in a single panel is finding the simplest version of the joke - and that’s always the funniest,” wrote Brandon.

Next, Joey reflected on what limitations and opportunities he encounters while working within the constraints of a single frame.“Sometimes the main challenge is just getting the framing right. To be able to fit the entire joke into one single frame isn’t always an easy task, but luckily drawing digitally, that allows me to manipulate my sketches into what I want them to look like. It’s also really helped me learn how and when to simplify my drawings, and use the given space efficiently.”And lastly, the creators added: “Thanks so much for your support. We love creating this comic and bringing laughs (and Dad jokes) to the world!”
