In this post, you will find surreal scenarios with a dash of absurdity on cat ownership, ghosts, magicians, time travel, and various other topics, all with a humorous twist. However, some of the comics might come off as sad, so be prepared for some emotional moments. Anyway, without further ado, get acquainted with this brilliant New Zealand artist’s work by scrolling down below. More info: Instagram | squires.nz | twitter.com | Facebook | squireseses.tumblr.com “I’m a human person based in Porirua, New Zealand with my partner, son, and some animals. Exactly two animals. In between work and family and sometimes sleep, I draw very silly things and do my best to remember to also put them somewhere on the internet, so people can read them. I’m most known for drawing the comic Moonbeard (pictured).” “As a kid, a few dusty boxes of old newspaper comics found their way into my hands and I got my start drawing by copying from the pages, so my super early comics were basically Garfield, but awful. Sadly, they were all lost in a fire. At university, I neglected my studies to write comics for the uni paper and eventually moved online and just never really stopped. Well, sometimes I stop, but I always come back. It’s a nice, sometimes cathartic creative outlet, and I’m so blessed that I get paid hundreds of millions of dollars to make these.” “I have a sort of production line of tiny ideas all getting built at the same time, all starting as small seeds borne of some news story or my own anxieties or a quote or a memory or too much TV and then they all get added to a giant vat to gestate and percolate and by the time they’ve been through the machine, typically the one fully-formed is the dumbest of the lot. Alternatively, a comic just arrives in the shower, crawling out of the plughole. Hairy. Gross. The finding time to draw them part, that’s the hard bit.” “I’m just grateful I have any kind of audience so honestly: anything. I’m not picky. I just throw them out into the world and if someone takes something away or is still thinking about a comic later, then that’s just dandy.” And lastly, James added: “Thanks for reading. I love you. I miss you. Call me.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
