Chow Hon Lam, the artist behind them, shared that his main goal is to spread joy and positivity. Buddy Gator is like a wholesome friend we all sometimes need in our lives, especially when facing challenges. In an interview with Bored Panda, Chow Hon Lam wrote: “I hope the audience feels happy after reading my comic. There’s nothing better than starting a day with a smile.” More info: Instagram | buddygator.com | Facebook “I’ve gained some new followers since my last post on Bored Panda. Thanks, Bored Panda!” The artist wrote: “I used to work stage by stage. The first stage is story creation, where I come up with about 50–100 stories, which may take a couple of weeks. After I have the stories, I start the drawing process. Each page, from sketch to line art and coloring, takes about 2–6 hours, depending on how complex the drawing is.” “This comic started with a single-page story. After a few years, we now have stories that span 2 pages, 3 pages, or more. Some stories even have 32 pages, but these are only available in the books and have never been posted on social media. One of the most obvious changes for the character is Gator. Gator had a long tail in the earlier stages, just like a typical alligator. A few weeks after creating the series, I thought the character should have something unique to make people recognize him. So I decided to shorten his tail, and now we have Gator with a short tail,” wrote Chow. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
