Just like last time, Bored Panda reached out to Nate Fakes, a prolific cartoonist known for his humorous and sometimes spooky Halloween-themed comics (like we featured this time).
Discussing the personal stories or traditions that have influenced his work, Fakes remarked, “There are a ton of Halloween movies I enjoy that, in one way or the other, may have influenced some cartoons. For example, Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic, along with The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. As for traditions, every year, I went trick-or-treating in my neighborhood. Now, I take my daughter out every year.”
Regarding the balance of humor and spookiness in his comics, he explained, “The gag cartoons I create are pretty tame and not too gory or anything. I’ve produced edgier, more adult content on some other platforms, but these are mild. With anything, you can tone comics down a bit and still keep them “spooky” with the Halloween spirit alive and well.”
Delving into his artistic style, Nate shared, “I think the only thing that is a bit different than my other comics is the style of the arms and legs on a lot of my newer Jack-O-Lantern comics. They tend to be a lot longer than my regular characters. I think that stems from my Nightmare Before Christmas influence.”
When probed about his ventures in animation and graphic novels, Nate divulged, “Actually, yes. I have something in the works that I plan on developing as a book first and then animation. I can’t disclose too much at the moment — it’s quite new and being developed. But it’s a monster-themed production aimed at young adults. I’m excited about it, and I should have many more details to share in the near future.”
