Tim shared his story of when he came to appreciate the work, so we contacted him to learn more. “I had been writing jokes for 10 years and thought I could compete with the comics I was seeing on Reddit,” Tim explained. His journey into cartooning provided great comic strip drawing ideas that helped him develop his style.

Tim described his comics as “super absurd” and added that he doesn’t consider his work to contain really deeper meaning. When asked what he expects audiences take away from his comics, he just said, “Whatever they want.” Perhaps it’s this lack of hidden messages that makes his comics so enjoyable.

Tim also chimes in on his creative process: “Zero distractions, sit in front of a computer for 3 hours. Around hour 2 of extreme boredom, the ideas start trickling in.” For those looking to write comic drawing story ideas, one such interest by Tim of letting boredom spark creativity is an interesting approach.

Finally, Tim shared an exciting project he’s been working on: “I’ve been making a series called Potatomancer with an artist named DailyObstruction. It’s my first time going from short-form jokes to long-form storytelling, and it’s just a ton of fun. I’ll be working on that for the foreseeable future.”
