Do you like playing games? If you don’t, Mindy Kilgore’s comics are also worth checking out. Mindy has based her funny comics on her own life experiences.

“Many of the recurring themes in my comics revolve around gaming and the universal experiences people have while playing video games.”
About her characters, Mindy said: “The main character in most of my comics is a caricature of myself, though I try not to make that the focus. Many of the other characters are inspired by gaming NPCs (non-playable characters).”

We also sought to know about her creative process. Mindy described how her comics come to life: “All of my comics start with quick thumbnail sketches on paper. I usually map out the layout and character poses within a few minutes. Then I do the linework and coloring digitally using Procreate on my iPad Pro.”
