First, we were curious about what inspired Amil to start creating comics—here’s what we found out: “During the pandemic, some people got into baking bread, others started knitting—I started a webcomic. I had written a bunch of random jokes back in college, and one day, I found them and thought some were still funny, so I turned them into a comic.”RELATED:When asked about the recurring themes in his work, the cartoonist responded: “My comics are usually based on whatever random thoughts I’m having at the moment, but I tend to focus on things I know or like—lots ofStar Warsand pop culture references, comic books, sci-fi and fantasy movies, and whatever weird pet peeves I have with people at the time.”Amil also shared that sometimes the ideas he personally loves for new strips are too niche to publish. He explained: “I’ve written a lot of comics that are hilarious to me but probably wouldn’t make sense to most people. I once came up with one that I found really funny because it was such an awful thing to imagine, but I decided it probably wasn’t a good fit for my audience: ‘When Grandpa lost his memory, I stole his wallet. Don’t worry, I told him his nurse did it.’”Next, we were curious about which cartoon turned out to be Amil’s favorite from ‘Gobsmacked.’ He revealed: “My favorite cartoon is probablySatan ordering Starbucksand the barista spelling his name as Stephanie. It’s a simple joke, but it’s a universal concept, and I liked how the artwork came out.”Lastly, we wanted to know which contemporary artists Amil particularly admires. The cartoonist told us:“I really admire the work of Skeleton Claw. His artwork is unique, and he always has a fresh take on things.”See Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaModal closeAdd New ImageModal closeAdd Your Photo To This ListPlease use high-res photos without watermarksOoops!
