Benton's art is known for its bright colors, expressive characters, and clever jokes. He's really good at creating relatable characters that people understand and find funny.

Bored Panda contacted Jim Benton to ask him a couple of questions related to his work. We wanted to know what he considers the most rewarding aspects of being a comic artist, and what keeps him motivated to continue creating. The artist told us: “You get to decide exactly what you feel like creating. Motivation comes and goes— sometimes it’s very strong and other times you need to push yourself. The strongest motivation is positive feedback. Without feedback, this is like doing stand-up comedy over the radio — creators want to know that people like what they create.”

The elders always have a spellbinding unbelievable story for the little ones. Like: “If, after using a huge yellow book to look up phone numbers and calling only the stores we knew the names of, we couldn’t find what we needed to buy, then we used to have to get in the car and drive from store to store, searching in and out of sometimes malls, going down side streets, and even getting lost (without gps) if there was something specific that we needed. And if we were lucky enough to even find it, it could take all day. But even then we might still come up empty-handed after spending all that time and gas and effort, unable to find the exact set of lights for the bathroom. Imagine! Life was hard in the old days.

There'd be no Trump without the f****d up money based political system that gives him power. Our leadership is always going to suck a*s, game is rigged and has been the whole time. Leftist voters didn't want Biden or Hillary, either. Our extremely rigged system did. Just bloods vs crips, only their gangs are rich elitists who don't GAF about anyone else.

Politics ruin lives people. Eat good food, play good video games and sleep a lot. Be happy and prosper.
Asked about how his art style has evolved over time, Benton said: “I’ve always liked to experiment with different tools and those have a big effect on the work. Format size affects the work as well — squares and 4x5 ratios work best online, and if you use text you need to keep font size in mind since most people read stuff on a phone. You can also run into some trouble with political stuff. You can find yourself banned for something you thought was quite uncontroversial.”

Next, we were wondering how Jim balances the creative aspects of his work with the business side of things, such as marketing and promotion. The artist shared with us: “Promotion is difficult. There are so many great creators posting work, it’s tough to get noticed. I just post and hope for the best. (When you read that, cross your eyes and bracket it with the word 'DUH' just to clarify what an idiot I am in that regard).”

We were curious if Benton could describe a pivotal moment or experience that significantly impacted his growth as a comic artist, and we found out that: “Awards, weirdly, have a way of charging your batteries and encourage you to do more and work harder. In the big picture, they don’t mean anything, really: Tons of great artists never get noticed the way they should. But each little acknowledgement is pivotal in its own way.”

If your bath water becomes dirtier than you are, you need to rethink your lifestyle.
Snorky The Pig 2 years ago
I always take a shower first and then have a nice long soak, and then rinse off once more (to get the bubble bath off.) And no, I don't do it too often because of it's a lot of water and not good for the environment (or my bills,) but when I need it, it is still a better coping mechanism than drinking or something when you get upset.

In my school days I was required to read many many books over the years and the all of them were about straight cis people and I am not straight or cis. Many of them had story lines with sex, kissing,touching, rape, sexuality, dating. But supposedly the minute a kid reads about a gay person doing literally nothing but existing all of a sudden they're gay.Let's think logically about this.

I’m going to cover up the downvoted comment by saying this. I quite love the idea of a mammoth delivery system, and yes, I had cancer and my own grandfather had cancer of the breast, and sometimes, making jokes about what you suffer from or from the tests just makes things a little easier. I joke about my useless thyroid because a. I don’t have one and b. I had cancer and the thyroid was awfully large.

To everyone in the comments who has battled cancer and survived...I just wanted to say you're extremely strong and should be so proud of yourself. My mom is currently battling cancer her second time around and it's truly hell.
Frozengeckolover 2 years ago
First of all, the comic didn't say anything about cancer. Second, anything and everything should be joked about. Humour is a way to deal with things, and get them out in the open. When we make things taboo, or off-limits, it cuts off necessary dialogue. Being offended at dark humor breeds fear, and ignorance. Joking about things makes people feel more comfortable talking about it, in a candid and open manner. I'm a woman, and I thought it was funny. Mammograms are useful, but they suck! Boobs are not meant to be squished into booby pancakes!
