30 Funny Comics With Unexpected Endings By Scribbly G (New Pics)

Given the chance, Bored Panda reached out to the talented artist.

“I was hit by a car at 9 years old. I broke my leg and fractured my skull when I broke the guy's windscreen with my face. I lost my memory for a few years and walked with a limp. I worry that I will lose my memory again one day. The guy that ran me over was the pastor from my church. That was the first sign that the good lord was out to get me and one of the reasons I stopped going to church.

I started making comics as a way to deal with depression. I was on medication for a long time. The meds didn’t fix anything, they just made me not care about being sad. My life was a blur. The best part of my day was when it was finally late enough so I could go to bed without it being weird. I didn’t want to live like that, so I decided to stop all medication and try to find a hobby to bring some joy into my life. I thought back to what I enjoyed as a kid, and what stood out to me was reading comics."

"I thought I’d try to make some comics of my own, even though I’d never drawn anything in my life. I didn’t have much hope that it would help, but I was willing to try anything. Pretty much straight away, my mood started improving, I felt better than I had felt for years. I didn’t think that almost 4 years later I’d still be making comics, but the fear of slipping back into depression or having to go back on medication scares me into making comics. So yeah, I pretty much make comics out of fear. I’d rather die than going back to feeling the way I felt. I believe comics saved my life."

First, we asked the artist if he had any major influences in his life that might've helped him to develop and refine his style.

"I'm still trying to figure out my drawing style. I would say I'm influenced by shows like Rick and Morty and the classic Cartoon Network stuff mixed in with some old style comics. People tell me they like my style, but I don't even know what it is yet. I still don't like how my own comics look. I've learnt that the more time I spend on making a comic look good, the worse it comes out. I've asked a few real cartoonists for advice and they all just tell me to keep doing what I'm doing. So I dunno, fake it till I make it. The weird/dark style of humor though, that comes from some brain injuries and growing up poor with an abusive alcoholic father. I haven't spoken to him in 14 years, but the one thing I can thank him for is that now I never have to worry about coming up with weird ideas. Thanks Dad!"

Art, in any kind of form, takes a lot of time not only to practice but also to produce. Therefore, we asked Scribbly G how long it takes him to fully finish his quirky comics.

"It depends on my mood and how much I hate drawing that day. The ideas take a few seconds and when you're in the zone, you can't not have ideas. After a long session of writing ideas, I'll wake up in the night with more ideas. My brain doesn't wanna switch off, she's like, excuse me, here are more of those ideas you wanted. I used to keep a notepad next to the bed to write down all these ideas, but I think I read somewhere that Stephen King says "if an idea is worth having, you won't forget it." So I ditched the notepad and now I just try go back to sleep. I never remember any of my midnight ideas, but that probably means they weren't that good (or Stephen King is a liar). I've gone off track there, but yeah, the idea is quick, the drawing is forever. Sometimes the drawing feels like it takes weeks. My watch says it's only been 2 hours, but it feels like it's been at least 3 weeks drawing this little 4-panel comic."
