The creator ofDaylie Doodleshared some insights into their creative process and how the series comes to life: “I have always kept notes on the funny things I observe. For many years before starting Daylie Doodle, I would accrue stacks of notebooks, and hundreds of untitled pages in my notes app with stupid, silly little things that would make me chuckle. I still keep notes but now I have an outlet for them, which is great! A lot of inspiration comes from the interactions I have throughout the day… I worry that my girlfriend will notice that sometimes a hilarious conversation we had will end up in a comic, but she hasn’t said anything. And that’s true love.”

We were also curious about which elements DeWaye finds most effective in creating humor. Here’s what the artist shared with us: “I think exaggeration has been a very important element to my humor. Of course, you first have to notice the funny thing, but I think you really have to exaggerate it to get the point across. At the core of most of my comics, I think, is an understanding of how absurd life can be, as well as a sometimes debilitating self-awareness of how absurd I can be.”

Next, the cartoonist told us about their personal favorite piece they’ve created so far: “First off, I am so bad at categorizing things as I am a lifelong sufferer of recency bias… Every morning I wake up and draw my daily comic, nine times out of ten I am thinking to myself, ‘This is my best comic yet.’ So, boring answer, whatever my last comic was. But If I had to choose a piece that I always think about, it’s this doodle I drew of abird dreaming about having walking legs. It’s so dumb. It’s probably the least effort I have ever put into a post, it has zero words, and I literally drew it on a 30-minute layover… but something about this drawing, every time I see it or think about it, it just makes me so happy.”
