“Chez Cuckoo” is a captivating and definitely off-beat comic featuring interesting characters and entertaining stories.Bored Pandagot in touch with Torbjørn Lien, the creator, to find out what fuels his creative fire and get some insights into the quirky world of “Chez Cuckoo”.Torbjørn spilled the beans on where his ideas come from: “Ideas can pop up from my own experiences, things I read or hear about, or completely made-up situations. I also get inspiration from other comics, mainly classics but also from modern comics and cartoons I stumble upon online.‘Chez Cuckoo’ has been around for so many years that the characters kind of live their own lives. They’ve developed their own personalities. It’s a bit hard to explain, but sometimes I can throw them into a situation, and then I just lean back and see what happens and what they do.”

‘Chez Cuckoo’ has been around for so many years that the characters kind of live their own lives. They’ve developed their own personalities. It’s a bit hard to explain, but sometimes I can throw them into a situation, and then I just lean back and see what happens and what they do.”
Out of all the characters, we were curious if Lien has a favorite. He said, “I find it most fun to draw Greta, who is also a character I really love. Over the past year, I’ve had a long story about her and her fiancée Emma, and a wedding that went down the drain. In connection with that, there are a lot of readers, especially on Instagram, who are almost hostile towards her and say they hate her. For me, it’s the opposite. Greta is a very vulnerable character with low self-esteem and self-control, trying to cope with life as best she can using bad language and bad temper as a shield. How can you not love her? But otherwise, I love all my characters in different ways.”
The creative process has its good and bad moments, so we talked to Lien about the challenges he faces as a comic artist and how he deals with them. “Every new comic strip I make is a challenge because I feel like I still have so much to learn,” he replied. “I’ve been making comics for over 30 years, but I still feel like a beginner.
The most important thing is that new people find my comic, enjoy it, and are willing to spend a bit of money on it so that I can keep making it.”
Lien’s wish is simple yet profound – he hopes his comics can bring a smile and perhaps even a laugh to people.“A little breather in a busy day. And perhaps some self-reflection. I don’t believe my comic can change anything important in a world that’s unfortunately too messed up. But if my comic can bring a bit of joy to someone, I’m happy.”
