We got in touch with Elise to find out more about her work. The artist kindly shared more about the themes she finds most compelling to explore in her work: “As a slice-of-life comic, my work usually explores small everyday moments in my life. For example, some comics are about my joys and simple pleasures, which tend to have a wholesome tone. I also often write about my anxieties, stresses, insecurities, and daily inconveniences. With those, I try to poke some fun at those troubles. If I can succeed at presenting those worries or frustrations in a way that people can connect to, inviting humor without diminishing them, I think that can be wholesome too! I love hearing when someone finds my work funny but also relatable.” Finally, the cartoonist added, “And of course, my unending love for desserts is a recurring theme!” More info: Instagram | Facebook Somewhere near the start of my university years, I thought it would be fun to try making my own silly little slice-of-life comics. I felt like there were a lot of comedic situations in my everyday life to draw from, and I had a lot of encouraging friends as well, which gave me the push to start. Thus, A Cookie A Day was born!” Even things that don’t seem funny in the moment can be funny later on or if you look at them in a different way!” Finally, Elise added: “For those interested, I do have one short story horror/thriller comic I’ve worked on with my friend and writer Shivani Krishnan – called Dolls and Flowers, available on Webtoon!” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
