Bored Pandareached out to Jimmy Craig once more to delve deeper into his comic series “They Can Talk” and learn more about him. We asked if observing his cats had revealed any surprising aspects of animal behavior that influenced his work. He shared that his cats are always evolving and continue to surprise him. “I think most of my comics about food were reserved for dogs, but after getting two cats I’ve learned that they’ll beg for food and break into cabinets like I’d expect a dog to. Honestly, I think they’re more adept at opening cabinets than my dog ever was.”

We asked Jimmy what he thought his cats would say about him if they could talk. He humorously responded that they’d probably ask for a writing credit. When asked about collaborating with an animal on a comic, he chose a bird, saying “I think they’d have a different perspective (literally) to offer on life.”
It’s always interesting to learn about an artist’s rituals for getting into a creative mood. Jimmy shared, “There’s a classic Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin says you need to be in the right mood to be creative, then says that mood is ‘last-minute panic.’ Recently, I’ve really related to that. I don’t have any particular rituals when I sit down to draw, unless you count a carefully curated playlist.”
