I think normal is hugely underrated. There is just so much humor in everyday life if you stare hard and long enough till the situation gets really embarrassing and mildly awkward. That’s probably when you start seeing the universe in its naked form (might be a sight for sure!)
Anyway, to my parent's constant objection, I harbor the ambition of being a hungry cartoonist from the age of 15. I tried feeding on 80gsm comic paper (mixed with mayonnaise and some spring onions) for a while. That works, I got a great stomach, unfortunately, I didn’t quite figure out how to pay the electricity bills with my hand-drawn dollar notes. So by the time I hit 20, I had to layoff all my cartoon characters and start my wonderful corporate journey.

The Expresso
Haha! That caffeine is going to keep him up throughout the day for sure!
Load More Replies...Definitely! Piping hot as well :)
Load More Replies...Well the vampire can almost see his own heartbeating, and he didn't blink for few hours
It's really tough to sleep with all that caffeine going on haha! Yes the heartbeat is going to be relentless!! Thanks for the support my friend!
Load More Replies...The last panel is actually day time (for him it would be his sleeping time) and he is still pretty much awake :))
Load More Replies...To be fair, corporate life was amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I still wanted to be a full-time cartoonist, but hey, surely a little accumulation of life experiences wouldn’t do me any harm. True enough, all the interaction with human beings of all kinds, the networking functions, sales meetings, business travels, budgets, profit and loss, team management. Gosh! What a load of comic ideas amassed across the last 20 years!
Food Chain
It's really tough for the airline industry especially now with COVID. I hope the industry gets to recover soon
Load More Replies...Haha top of the food chain indeed! Might be the idea for the next cartoon my friend :)
Load More Replies...Well, all for the sake of survival :(
Load More Replies...Well, to cut to the chase (I hope you are still reading,) my younger self traveled forward in time, gave me a weirdly motivating speech of pursuing my dreams before its too late (not sure why.) So here we are, after a few months of practice, I started the first comic with a pandemic-related cartoon. And a few panels forward, I have a personal web cartoon series going on regularly on Instagram titled - Oddly Sequential.
Captured Tunes
So appreciative that they are still making beautiful music for the world!
Load More Replies...Yes! The mask did it's job :) kept out the bad notes! :))
Load More Replies...:)) Hopefully the mask kept most of the songs well and good
Load More Replies...In my defense, I didn’t quite start off wanting to create these odder-than-usual comics, but somehow it just went that way. Anyway, I do hope you like them, and with a stroke of luck, maybe I really do get a shot at becoming a hopefully less hungry cartoonist.
David Weyland
He has a Creative soul within a robotic body :)
Load More Replies...It translates as sg read left to right like congee, or gs read right to left like English.
Yes it translates to SG from right to left. It’s the short form of Singapore (SG). Thanks for noticing it!
Load More Replies...Exactly! Computer coding done in calligraphy style :)
Load More Replies...Minor Repairs
This reminds me of a hammer I have. It has a flower print and the bottom unsrews for some screwdrivers. 5 in one! And perfectly usable.
I know this is meant as commentary of the role makeup plays, but I love the idea of a lady spy sneaking in tools to help her break into places.
Thanks so much for that Zims! Good idea! I am keeping this in my notebook for a next cartoon!
Load More Replies...When she says she must go to the restroom to fix her face, she means it!
Haha it's a solid set of tool box! :))
Load More Replies...Finding Armstrong
And the people around him are wondering why haha!
Load More Replies...I do that to passing by planes...just in case someone is looking down at me too.
You are not alone Anam, I do that too! They might be waving :)
Load More Replies...The pioneers to explore a new frontier for mankind! :))
Load More Replies...Traffic Hazard
Ghost Within
Thanks my friend! So Glad you like it!
Load More Replies...Yes this twist might have gone slightly further. Was trying to draw the unfortunate situation to a computer mouse and how it's soul within is the cursor :) I will try harder next time! Thank you for the feedback!
Load More Replies...Missing You
It's also something I've been told growing up in Norway, like an old superstition, that when you have the hiccups someone is thinking about you. Reminded me of this.
We have almost the same superstition here as well :)
Load More Replies...He is! They must be pals back then!
Load More Replies...Over in anime universe, when someone speaks of their name. It's like a spidey sense that reacts into a sneeze
Load More Replies...A Yogi
Haha I had to do quite a bit of reference to get the postures correct for this one. Hopefully people could identify them well :)
Load More Replies...No one like comments like that. If you really are so religious, you should know god doesn't like a******s.
Load More Replies...His Time
Yes, exactly! In this cartoon, the lead may not be extremely useful in the normal brick breaking context, but hey, when it comes to smashing the documents, he is the guy! :))
Load More Replies...Thanks my friend! Haha this is such a controversial piece with quite a few interpretation as well!
Load More Replies...Yes you are so right! Too bad he is the only one with the black (tie) belt qualified to do this :))
Load More Replies...Good lord what is wrong with you??
Load More Replies...Great Shot
So rare! I actually named him Hopper! He is going to appear more often in other cartoons as well :)
Load More Replies...Wrong Tee
Thank you my friend! Glad you like it!
Load More Replies...Very unexpected in this case! Poor guy in the cartoon!
Load More Replies...Thanks my friend! Hope you like it!
Load More Replies...Haha hopefully he survived the paper tides :))
Load More Replies...The Supply
Johnny's Predicament
Yes! Even he is not spared from age :) might have to bring along the glasses soon
Load More Replies...Store Room
Love that almost all your angels wear glasses and look vaguely like Ronald Reagan.
From his profile pic at the end of this article, I think the angels are based on the author, JunMing, or perhaps his father, or somebody he knows?
Load More Replies...Yes yes! That was the message I was hoping for! That's indeed where the clouds are coming from. I always imagine there to be a place where they keep the excess clouds :))
Load More Replies...Have A Cup Of Tea
Nonsense - thing of the antioxidants you'll be immersed in!
Load More Replies...I swear the tea is moving in the water. Heck of an illusion or my eyes are bad
Haha thanks! I had fun creating the water illusion on this drawing :))
Load More Replies...Cybertron Cuisine
It’s a Honda platter indeed! Great food for the transformers :)
Load More Replies...Need More
More like a butcher, reducing large pieces to individual ones.
Load More Replies...The Healer
Not a very easy comic I must say haha! So sorry guys! I wanted the stethoscope to mirror something like one of those giant magnets they use to pull out steel or iron from industrial wastes. I will do better! I promise :))
Load More Replies...Yes, if only it could be that easy! Maybe in the future :))
Load More Replies...Hmm that I am not too sure. But I might be saying that the guy has a trash of stuff he ate in his tummy, and the stethoscope is like a trash magnet scooping out the irons or anything with a little more structure haha!
Load More Replies...That's Easy
Absolutely! Haha it’s as easy as it can be! Might be a real world solution :))
Load More Replies...Child’s play indeed! Thanks my friend! :)
Load More Replies...Important Add
Yes! A very rich property tycoon adding something essential for his comfort haha!
Load More Replies...It's really important for him :) the missing piece :))
Load More Replies...I feel I'm not smart enough to get the joke. Or maybe there are some cultural references I don't know. I need explanation for at least half of the cartoons. I like the vampire's story.
Like our ( U.S.)president, except that it's beyond mildly awkward and ridiculously embarrassing. re There is just so much humor in everyday life if you stare hard and long enough till the situation gets really embarrassing and mildly awkward.
