Mike Greaney, a comics artist from Australia, is someone who apparently can come up with the most unexpected ending to any story. And he uses this skill well in his work, spanning entertaining panels of comics regularly on his social media.
“I get inspiration from all sorts of things,” Mike says. “For shorter comics, I mostly try to think of something that would be fun to draw: a werewolf transforming, a bog witch, ghosts, etc., and try to think of a joke to justify the drawings. My longer form comics generally start with a question 'what if you could spawn unlimited ducks?' 'what if a Twitter spam robot became sentient?' and the characters and stories evolve out from there.”

When asked how the idea of making comics came about, the artist explained: “I’m an animator by trade, and while I love animation, it takes absolutely ages and/or lots of money to make. I stumbled across the notion of taking ideas I had for animated stories and jokes and making them as comics as a way of satisfying my urge to create and share work without having to spend ages and ages putting that work together.”

Like many of us, it took Mike some time to get into his dream career: “I worked in a fast-food restaurant and a liquor store when I was a teenager. After that, I’ve kicked around in animation, design, and art jobs for the last 10 years. I like the experimentation that comes with creative work. Because two animation gigs are never quite the same, there is always room to learn and creative problems that need to be solved.”
Mike says that it’s amazing to be reaching so many people with his art: “I’m so grateful that anyone wants to read these stupid comics, and I have so much fun making them and putting them out there and then seeing what people respond to. My followers often make funnier jokes in the comments than happen in the comic so posting stuff is always a good time for me.”
We asked Mike what advice he would give to aspiring comic artists, to which he replied: “If you can make yourself laugh while making something, half the battle is already won. Then you just need to get it out in front of people. I find the community over at Reddit is amazingly supportive and is a great place to get eyeballs on your work that wouldn’t normally come across it. Otherwise making work that is interesting and funny to you more than what you think will get clicks is super important.”

Not venomous their eyes aren't slit and that's a defining feature to tell if they are but all in all a good comic.

Not all venomous snakes have elliptical pupils. Also, some non-venomous snakes do have elliptical pupils
