Load More Replies...We got in touch with Joe Holtby, the artist behind the Portuguese Geese series, and asked some questions about his recent comics. First, we were curious about his approach to creating characters for his strips and learned that: “My approach to character design is to keep things simple. I make the characters pretty basic, but I leave room for expressive faces. Drawing faces is my specialty, so I try to show as much personality and character there as much as I can. One rule of character design is to have a recognizable silhouette, which I try to keep in mind while designing.”
If you dream you're needing to pee, or are looking for a toilet, your body is trying to tell you something!
Asked how his art style has evolved over time, and what factors influenced these changes, the artist answered: “The biggest evolution in my art style over the years is that all of my human characters have been turned into geese! This was something I wanted to do for at least 2 years, but I was nervous about making such a drastic change to my already established comic. The audience reaction turned out to be way better than I thought, and I've been trying to perfect the style ever since. I always try to improve my art as I go, and I like to believe that I've gotten more consistent with my drawings.”
*just act cool... act like you meant to do that and totally aren't broke now....*
LOL @ the "Work" hat. "Where do you work?" "Work." "Yes, but where?" "Work." "Funny, but WHERE?!"
Been there, done almost that. Bill was $11 something. Took out 3 $5's and slipped them into the receipt holder and left when the wait staff was coming my way. Well. one was a $50, not a $5. Didn't realize until later. Ouch.
Then, we wanted to know what Holtby considers the most rewarding aspects of being a comic artist. Joe shared with us: “One of the most rewarding aspects of being a comic artist is seeing reoccuring fans show up everyday to new comics. Knowing that people are closely following my work warms my heart, and keeps me motivated to keep going. There's also no feeling like posting a comic online and seeing such a huge positive reaction to it, sometimes even going semi-viral. Working close with other comic artists on my YouTube channel has been a blast as well. We get together and do crazy drawing challenges and riff off each other and it's tons of fun.”

Lastly, we asked Joe to give some advice to aspiring comic artists looking to break into the industry. The author of Portuguese Geese said: “Advice that I would give to any aspiring comic artists would be to make comics that YOU would like to see. This may sound simple, but it can be easy to find yourself chasing trends or trying to copy someone else's work, resulting in a mediocre or bad comic. No one's first couple of comics are gonna be amazing, so you should draw a couple before posting any online. Once you get more comfortable with creating comics, you should start to see yourself improving and eventually you will create comics that are way more personal and represent your sense of humor well. Once you find your voice, the fans will come!”

You would think something with a big hole in it would have fewer calories.
It's like buying the two for one deal when you never even needed one in the first place.

Load More Replies...I just recently changed my ringtone to something slightly less awesome so that I actually answer the phone before my mate gets sent to voicemail.
I do that with calls often. I just make my ringtone something cool but instead end up listening to the whole thing instead of answering the call \_()_/
I have no explanation for this, ummm… I will.. I actually don’t know but I will do something.
A gym isn't a recording booth, get the f***k out of there with your phone cameras!
Referring to an old joke. Mickey divorces Minnie because she’s silly? No she’s f-ing Goofy!
