If You Like Dark Humor, You Might Like These 24 New Comics By Ryan Mason
Interview With ArtistIf there’s one thing the internet can’t get enough of, it’s hilarious comics. And when they’re slightly weird and/or unpredictable, even better! That’s exactly what artist Ryan Mason brings to the table with “At Random Comics,” and today we would like to share his latest batch.
Ryan’s comics are short, snappy, and full of absurd humor. From a punchline you didn’t see coming to strange little moments he chooses to illustrate that hit in the weirdest (and best) way, if Ryan’s humor is up your alley, you will be in for a treat!
So let’s hop into the post, and for more information about the comics, read the interview with the artist below.

First of all, Ryan shared what has changed since the last post on Bored Panda.
He wrote: “Having comics featured on Bored Panda is a positive way to be introduced to new readers. Hopefully, through consistency and worthwhile comics, I can gain more support and increase the amount of comics I publish on a regular basis.”
Ryan explained what audiences can expect from his work: “Hopefully, when a new reader runs into my work, they can find a few comics funny or clever. If we have the same sense of humor, then ideally they could follow me on social media or bookmark my site and continue to read new comics every week. And if my comics don’t resonate with them, no hard feelings,” wrote Ryan.
Ryan also shared what a typical day looks like when he’s working on a new comic.
“I’m a freelance illustrator/designer and use lulls in my schedule to produce comics. I use a Wacom Cintiq for drawing and work ahead to create a buffer for when life gets busy. If I ever get hit by a truck, there will still be several months of comics ahead.”
We were wondering if Ryan has ever scrapped a comic idea after starting it, to which he wrote: “Choosing a comic to finalize is unplanned and I draw whatever feels right that particular day. There have been times when I’ve stared at a comic too long and began to second-guess it. Usually this happens before I’m too far down the road, but I have shelved several completed ones because I feared they weren’t working.”
Lastly, the artist added: “If any Pandas are interested in At Random, I would let them know that they could follow my social channels for new comics every week, or visit my website where I host a back catalog ad-free. Patreon followers can see rough sketches and hear about the origins of each idea, get a unique monthly comic and have access to e-books, zines, and unreleased work. My work has remained under the radar, but I’d love to interact with more readers, whether that’s working with a publisher, thinking of a Kickstarter people may want, live drawing, or something else. Thanks for reading!”
