This Artist Makes Minimalistic Comics Filled With Absurd Situations And Silly Humor (30 New Pics)
Comic artist Will Santino never ceases to surprise his audience with new and fresh ideas that are both funny and witty at the same time. His comics, which are mostly one-paneled, often depict ridiculous situations as well as a quote that really takes his work to the next level. Will's work has been featured on Bored Panda previously last year and if you'd like to see his older comics, then make sure to click here.
In his last interview with Bored Panda, Will shared his story and how he got into making comics in the first place.
"I started drawing cartoons during a difficult time in my life, while I was processing grief after a loss. I am inspired by nature, stories, mythology, animals, and books. I like to add more silliness, wonder, whimsy, and absurdity into the world."

In the last interview, we asked Will if he had any major influences in life that helped him in his art career and inspired him to take this path.
"Growing up, I was very influenced by books like Martin Handford’s Where’s Waldo, and comics like Calvin and Hobbes and Little Nemo in Slumberland. Also the covers of the fantasy novels I read, like Brian Jacques’ Redwall series. I love the illustrations of James Gurney and Shaun Tan, and historical artists like M. C. Escher and Hieronymous Bosch have been influential as well. Most of these influences can be seen in my illustrations rather than my cartoons, though."

Onlookers: HEY! SOMEONE DIVE IN AND GET HIM! // Others: He's on the water though. How can we bring him back?

Haw,haw! Look at the idiot who didn't know that walking on water also meant that water becomes like concrete cement!
When it comes to the ideas for his comics Will has quite a few things to share, "In order to have output, I need input. I read a lot of fiction and I love learning about new things, so I end up on Wikipedia a lot. I love mythology, history, fables, art, and language. I love to learn, so my silly ideas are often the byproduct of my curiosity. More specifically, I drink coffee and doodle in a sketchbook."

Fun fact: first time I listened to Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, I heard: "I'm waking up, I'm feeling in my balls enough to make my systems grow." Considering I was not good at English back then, it might be the case.

In Spanish, questions are marked not only with a question mark at the end, but also with an inverted question mark at the beginning (same goes for exclamations). ¿Por qué? ¡No sé!

Apprentices at one time had to pay the boss for the training. Basically early trade school that started about age 12-14. Usually the family paid the master craftsman to train the child.

Um, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, to prove Abrahams loyalty to God. Then at the last minute God tells Abraham not to do it, it was just a test that he obviously passed. Now I’m an atheist telling you guys this, have ya read the Bible. Also, as an atheist, this is a crappy thing for any self-respecting deity to pull. If I believed in God I don’t think I’d think to highly of him after this stunt!

Note that GOD didn't tell Avraham to stop the sacrifice -- God sent an angel to do that. And God never spoke to Avraham again after that. The implication, as I read it, was that, when God found out that Avraham was willing to argue to try to save Sodom and Gomorrah, but didn't argue on behalf of his own son, God was just *done* with the guy, and It Was Over. Out of kindness, God sent the angel to say, "yeah, fine, you passed the test. Whatever." But actually, Avraham failed.

God said to Abraham, kill me a son, Abe said man, you must be puttin' me on. God said no, Abe said what, God said you can do what you want Abe, but, uh, next time you see me comin', you better run...Abe said, where you want this killing done? God said out on Highway 61

God told Abraham to sacrifice his son, then right before he did it was like, "it was just a test!" But anyway, religion is barbaric.

It’s a joke about 1000 and 1 Arabian nights. Sheherezade married the king, but because his first wife cheated on him, he married and killed a new woman every day. Sheherezad told him a new story ending with a cliffhanger every night so the king would let her survive another night to finish the story. He stops caring about the story and falls legitimately in love with her by the end.

And in this case, she is a similar hero - she is saving the class from a math test.

Gardetto's snack mix is the best, but did you know that you can buys bags of just the rye garlic chips, and bags of just the mustard pretzels? Mix those two with Cheez-Itz (extra toasty!) and you have the perfect snack. Mmmm

Nice, funny, creative, and great drawing skills. Must take a lot of work, time, and effort just to make to make one panel.
