If you are here, you probably already know what you signed up for... but if not, well, you are in for a ride! In case you haven't had the chance to stumble upon ToothyBj's comics before, here's what you need to know. The artist is well-known for his dark humor and comics with unpredictable endings that (most of the time) have good intentions, as said by the author himself.

When interviewed last time, here's what Toothy told us about himself.

"I love comics. I grew up on a healthy diet of Hergé and Quino; truly masters of the craft. But I ended up doing webcomics, which is the comic equivalent of doing crack. My drug lord inspirations are ExtraFabulous, Mr. Lovenstein, Perry Bible Fellowship, and the most important of them all, Ai Uehara."

This time around, Bored Panda reached out to ToothyBj with some new questions. First, we wanted to know if perhaps the artist was working on some new series or perhaps something similar.

"Well, I have some longer comics I want to draw, that's for sure. But as for series... That's a whole different breed. Do I have some planned? Yes, several. But I don't have the time, honestly. Some days I wish I was rich enough to lock myself up in a room for a year and do nothing but draw and get it all out."

We also wanted to know if the artist had a comic he was proud of, and we thought it was only fair if he'd share his thoughts with us!

"An unreleased one. It’s a tough cookie, too long, and too complex to just “churn it out”. I love the joke so much that I don’t want to rush it, so it will be in the sketch-hell for as long as it needs. It’s not my philosophy to work like that, but I do baby this one."

Artists go through a few art phases trying to find the art style they could call their own, and the same goes for ToothyBj too.

"I’ve been indulging myself with some “detailed cartoons” (mixed with painting) on my drawing account (toothydraws), I’ve been slow to post, it’s hard to maintain multiple accounts."

Starting out with comics (or art in general) isn't easy, so we asked the artist if he had any tips to share.

"Find your niche. Don’t do a self-insert comic. Don’t steal ideas. Be honest. Have fun."

When it comes to people having opinions on his comics, here's what ToothyBj hopes to achieve with his work, "Accept absurdity, make myself laugh, make someone else laugh, and write comics that are not commercially viable. (Please support me on Patreon.)"

ToothyBj has been making comics for quite a while, therefore we asked if there had been any moments where any particular comment had stood out to him.

"I don’t remember any particular ones, people are generally cool and my memory sucks… but I have a guilty pleasure: Comic creators do communicate with each other a lot and we do make fun of people trying to sound smart while “correcting” a joke, or an “inaccuracy” (on a silly funny comic). It’s a mix of sadness and bullying and it’s beautiful. So yeah, any sad overanalyzing comment that gets ratioed is my favorite one."

Lastly, we were curious to find out whether this whole art journey the artist went through has helped him with something in life, and here's what he shared with us.

"Drawing is super useful to express yourself, in and of itself. But if I had to pinpoint a moment that I was glad to have some traditional training on me was when my grandpa died and there were no large pics of him, people didn't have as many photographs as we do nowadays.

I was able to gift my grandma a portrait of him. It was a very emotional moment for her. He was very treasured in the family."

People gatekeep everything. Once I encountered someone who actually was gatekeeping religion. Like, they told me I was a fake Christian because I had different beliefs from them.
