45 Hilarious Comics With Twisted Endings By “My Gums Are Bleeding”

Art, in any kind of form, takes a lot of time not only to practice but also to produce, therefore we asked the artist how long it takes them to fully finish their comics.

"Obviously it depends, but not that long, I used to make like 5 comics a week but moved to only making about 1-2 a week to preserve the quality. The art is relatively easy compared to trying to come up with jokes, that’s definitely the hard part. Honestly now I’ll only spend the time drawing and editing a comic if the joke really resonates with me."

Being an artist is not easy, one can easily encounter a lack of inspiration, burnout, etc, so we wanted to ask the cartoonist about their ideas for the comics.

"I read a lot of news, Reddit, scour meme pages, and stuff like that for inspiration. A lot of times I’ll see a joke/meme/comic and think 'ok, how would I do this joke better?' Or 'this is a good punchline but I think it would be a lot funnier if the joke went in a different direction'. There will also be times where I’ll look at a witty comment thread on Twitter or something and think about how I can take what’s funny about it and adapt it into the comic format."

As we mentioned before, sometimes creative work can cause quite a burnout, therefore we asked the artist how they dealt with that as well.

"I've been burnt out constantly, there have been times recently where I’ll have to step away from the comics, and drawing in general, for a week or so. I do a lot of writing and art professionally and sometimes it can feel like I’m juggling way too much, though I think as an artist that’s a good problem to have."

People certainly always have their opinions about any piece of media they come across, the same goes for comics too. When asked about the kind of comments the artist receives, here's what we've been told, "It’s mostly positive, I enjoy reading the comments on my Reddit and Instagram posts. I find it very rewarding. Obviously, it’s the internet, so people are gonna say horrible things about you and your art no matter what, it kind of comes with the territory. But I’ve been very happy with the feedback I’ve gotten."
