Jejo kindly shared her thoughts: ”Heartfelt, hilarious, and hopeful. The comic has a lot of heart because it’s ultimately about finding love, family, and friendship in unexpected places. It’s hilarious because the premise—humans as pets to aliens—creates some truly absurd situations. The unique twist with Me, The Family Pet? is that we’re imagined as the pets of a kind, nurturing alien species called “the Gwanians,” loving aliens that just want to make us all happy. Plus, Sally, our heroine, is dry and sarcastic, much like a human Garfield. The comic is hopeful because it celebrates humanity, quirks and all, in a time when the world feels divided. From the Gwanian perspective, humanity’s imperfections are what make us endearing! (Plus, they think we’re all really cute.)”More info:Instagram|Facebook|tiktok.com|youtube.com|webtoons.com|patreon.comThis post may includeaffiliate links.

Next, we were curious about which other artists from the worlds of comics and comedy the creator of the series admires and draws inspiration from. She shared: “There are so many! I’ve always adored Chuck Jones, especially for his ability to make me laugh with a single expression. I also admire Sarah Andersen (Sarah’s Scribbles) for her relatable, slice-of-life humor and her ability to connect with such a broad audience. Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes are huge inspirations, particularly in terms of their use of sarcasm, comedic timing, and dry wit.”

Finally, the creator of Me, The Family Pet? shared more about her personal favorite comics from the series: “One of my favorites is the strip where Sally—the feisty orphan—first meets Europa, her shy alien ‘sister.’ It’s a perfect blend of humor and heart, with Sally being skeptical of her new family, while Europa is thrilled to finally have a ‘human sister.’ It really captures their dynamic: Sally’s tough exterior and Europa’s earnest, wide-eyed love. Another favorite is a later story arc where Sally and Europa have to work together after being accidentally catapulted into outer space! After saving themselves, they realize they bring out the best in each other and become the closest of friends.”
