We reached out to Sarah and asked her some questions about her work. The cartoonist shared that her main inspiration for starting her series was… boredom. She added: “For most of my childhood I didn’t have a TV or electricity. My mom raised me on a Greek island and then on a hippie commune in northern California—off the grid. I didn’t have plastic toys and things like that to keep myself busy. I drew a lot. It was a cheap form of entertainment. Then I decided not to become an artist like many of the struggling ‘alternative lifestyle’ adults around me. Eventually, the pens and paper drew me back in again, and I began painting and cartooning professionally alongside my steady job.” More info: morrissette.at | Instagram | Facebook When I got older, I became a fan of various New Yorker cartoonists and began thinking, ‘Hmm. Maybe I can do this as well.’ I love William Steig and his children’s books. My children have them all. In 2019, I started submitting to The New Yorker and selling rejects to places that are still around to buy cartoons.” Of course there also were the Beatles’ album covers such as Yellow Submarine. What kid wouldn’t want to draw like that?” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
