With a blend of clever writing and simplistic yet engaging artwork, Jenkins has quickly amassed a following, garnering over 100K followers on Instagram and earning widespread acclaim in just a year. More info: Instagram | thejenkinscomic.wordpress.com Starting off, the artist expressed gratitude for the exposure his work received through Bored Panda, stating, “I’m glad to see people sharing my work.” He acknowledged the importance of media in reaching potential fans who might enjoy his comics but haven’t discovered them yet. Jenkins also mentioned an interest in hearing writers’ insights on his work, although he primarily values that people enjoy his comics for what they are. “The original three Jenkins characters—the Jenkins brothers—were created when I was 13 years old. Their personalities stemmed from generic archetypes, but as I kept writing, they became more fleshed out. There’s not much to the characters’ development that you don’t see in the comics. Most of the fleshing out of a character is just through writing jokes I think are funny and then inserting existing characters into those jokes. Strangely, I can’t think of anyone in my daily life who has influenced a Jenkins character. The comic is strangely separated from my daily reality. If I had to put Freud goggles on, I’d say each of the three main Jenkins brothers come from three sects of my own personality. Oh, wait—there is my smoke-detector-mimicking toddler lawyer neighbor who turned out to be three raccoons in a trenchcoat. I think his name is Jarvis.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
