The artist told us how he first became interested in comic art: “My 5th grade teacher had a shelf full of books that you could borrow after completing your classwork, where I was first introduced and inspired by The Far Side. I was familiar with comics my dad and brother had (Calvin & Hobbs, Garfield) and appreciated them, but I resonated with the single-panel format and Gary Larson’s humor. I eventually looked up cartoonists who inspired him and found a great appreciation for Charles Addams.” Scroll down to view Ryan’s most recent works, and learn even more about him in the later part of our interview.

My work often leans towards schadenfreude humor, but I don’t believe I’m overly pessimistic. I like to use humor to confront and take the steam out of difficult topics like death and disappointment.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
