Not Your Average Stick Figures: The Wild World Of “Return Of Stiqz”

When asked where the artist usually finds inspiration for new strips, they responded: “I usually come up with a comic in one of two ways - either I start with a mundane scenario and see if I can make it exciting and crazy, or I start with a common phrase and see if I can alter the meaning without significantly changing the words. I try to write any and all ideas down, because you never know when inspiration can turn a dead-end idea into a complete comic.”

Stiq Auteur also shared some of their key influences in the world of comedy and humor: “I believe the initial inspiration for Return of Stiqz was a combination of XKCD’s simplicity and cleverness with the expressiveness and MS paint aesthetic of rage comics. I also believe that I’ve taken a decent amount of inspiration from SpongeBob and Tom & Jerry.”

Lastly, the cartoonist shared more about their personal favorite comics they’ve created: “I particularly like the longer comics that really lean into ‘and then…’ humor, but if I had to choose a single favorite comic, it would be Punkin' Bread. The concept came from a fake band name I made for a story-driven comic that probably will never get made, so taking this name that I thought was clever and turning it into a concise, absurd scenario was very satisfying.”
