Animals Navigating Human-Like Scenarios In Hilarious Comics, By This Artist (65 Pics)
Interview With ArtistToday, we would like to introduce you to Basura, a comic artist creating cartoons about animals that act like humans. The artist herself shared a bit about the premise: "The characters are actually animals on a planet similar to ours that developed the same as Earth. So now you have foxes that drive and pay taxes instead of humans."
The artist explores themes like relationships and friendships and illustrates situations from her own life. These delightful comics full of animal mixed with human humor can become spicy at times, so if you are looking to see the whole spectrum, make sure to visit Basura's social media pages for more.

Is that what it is? I just thought there was something horribly wrong with me. I guess I’m starving all the time? Idk
In an interview with Bored Panda, the artist shared more about how she comes up with the storylines in her comics: “The inspiration for the comics comes from my past relationship with my partner (who has given me the okay) and friends as well. Sometimes I’ll be chatting with friends and have to be like ‘Oh, this is a good comic’. Almost anything goes and friends have asked me to make comics of situations now.”
To be fair it is often harder the first time in a new job when everything is new.
Agreed, but stick with it if things are getting better with time

Basura’s animals are very expressive and show a variety of emotions. We asked her to share her process of drawing them.
“I really like cartoons so my facial expressions can be really goofy, I also don’t like to stay ‘on model,’ my characters change from moment to moment and I like that. It helps to also make the facial expression with my face as I draw, acting out emotions really helps get them on paper.”
It's sometimes a good sign for the relationship if each believes in the other, more than each believes in themselves
I usually get those responses when I ask someone on a date, though they're referencing me, not themselves. 🤷
Basura started her comic series in 2020. We were curious what has been the most rewarding feedback or experience she’s had from the followers.
“I started my comic series during the pandemic when I was really isolated as a way to bond with my partner and also get some frustrations out, the most rewarding thing is that people like my work and actually remember small little Easter eggs and random bits of my work that I might not even remember, that’s really touching! Some followers remembered a character after months of not drawing them. It’s strange what people remember or attach to,” wrote Basura.
Sometimes, the stuff out of a box or can is better than trying to make it from scratch. I think I'm going to go make myself a box of rice-a-roni...
Lastly, the artist shared how the environment or culture influences her work and the themes she chooses for the comics.
“I’m LA-based and I have a love-hate relationship with the city, love my friends - hate the drive mentality. I think that it’s made me feel freer about expressing LGBT themes in the comic and bonding with people who like my work IRL, which is great. I think a few comics are very LA-centric, like the one about parking validation. I’m from New Jersey so some themes come up from there too.”
Wind travels. Air diffuses. If you don't want to be influenced by dead people, don't read books.
It took until now to realize how gay these all are lol, I am historically bad at observation
That's the part that sucks about work... Once you're there, you can't call off.
But you can suddenly get sick and leave without needing a doctor's notice!

It might be boring for onlookers but we're just fine with doing nothing - but doing it together
Bee who? Who are we meant to be? Are we our own original selves or pale imitations of originals eons past? Do we have freedom to aspire limitlessly or is that in itself a shackle? In believing we’re free, do we stop ourselves from truly experiencing it? Are we merely the fractured shards of ones who come before us, warped and twisted in order to shadow the original. Can we be free if we believe that we already are?
Ah, the mind-rush that is freshman Metaphysics ...
Load More Replies...I'd agree but, so many ways further comment could sound creepy ...
Load More Replies...It's so nice to run into a fellow theorist My 1st reaction when seeing this also was a MatPat-style "LOOOOOOOORE!!!"
Load More Replies...Judge jury and executioner. Imagine getting arrested for baby shark. OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
Off with one of his legs, anyway; or, since it's "Baby Shark", off with a toe
Load More Replies...Oh, come on, let him off with a warning. At least he wasn't searching for something by Justin Bieber.
Personally I would rather rot my eyes away than get skin cancer but 🤷♂️
Nobody's perfect, but it's good to concentrate on your friends' better points and just slide past any problems
True, in most cases, but not all problems should just be ignored 🙂
Load More Replies...Well he did as he was asked, but only that. I believe this is a form og weaponized incompetence.
"I'm watching it. It's not going anywhere. Oh. It's turning black and smoking. FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! 🔥
It seems as if we all become our parents - once we have to face the battles that our parents faced
I dunno. Most ppl do things differently when faced with the same challenges because they saw the mistakes and results their parents actions had

Splenda is fake sugar. Ironically, it's more expensive than real sugar.
Load More Replies...The part of me that is asexual is fighting the part of me that still finds this adorable lol
... OMG I REALIZED MOTH IS NONBINARY this artist is really LGBTQ supportive. <3 it!!
He's got a back-story, you've got a back-story; concentrate on making 'now' amazing !
It’s because her friend’s left, and she probably feels unsafe by herself.
Load More Replies...If the didn't have a boo boo "down there" before, he's likely to have one soon.
I don't think I'd be meeting new people at all if I'd just be myself
Yeahhh... I've been waiting for someone to "kinda just show up" for the past 30 some odd years (not counting childhood) and that doesn't work. Being myself around people just leads them wanting me to do things for them, then ignoring me when I'm done. Lol 😆
Nah this is nonsense. You make friends when you purposefully seek it out, ppl don't just randomly show up. Relationships take work and if you don't focus on them, be it friendship or otherwise they wither
The point isn't don't work on your existing relationship. The point is, don't spend life seeking them, spend your life living and since your doing what you love the right people will cross your path. It's actually good advice.
Load More Replies...all this, and maybe also by doing interesting things, so others want to be like you
Do the tough stuff, then relax and be the kid you believe you are fur real
With real friends, you never do know if they're kidding. Makes for an exciting - but challenging - life
Just realized today that they make Red Hot flavoured Goldfish.
This has applied to all siblings, since time immemorial. I bet even Neanderthal siblings thought a h other was gross—-and that’s saying something. I’m 63 now. I have (well, had) four older brothers. Each and every time they brought a date home to meet the family, I was amazed those seemingly normal women wanted to date them—-much less MARRY them! Ewww! I grew up with them. I saw their tightie-whites hanging to the clothesline, with the skiddies that refused to come out in the wash. I was relentlessly teased by them growing up. I heard their fart and burp battles/competitions. I know they would pin each other and/or their friends down then sit on them and fart. I saw—-and smelled—-their rooms when I passed by and their doors were opened. What woman in her right mind would want anything to do with any of them? But they all did manage to marry some pretty nice women, and stay married to them, so I guess we’re just never going to solve that mystery.
so, feeling in love is like eating chocolate - but without the calories ;-)
Doesn't have quite the same ring now does it. It is way funnier if you actually sing it in your head trying to cram presenting in there as fast possible
"A fe-male pre-sent-ing deer" just add a bit of a hitch in the tune, and it works. Kinda. 😂
Load More Replies...I desperately need to know if all of the instances of characters being seen in multiple relationships are at different relationship statuses or if that horse is poly lol
I don't think these are in chronological order... And I think that horse is supposed to be a camel. 😂 😆
