Benton's cartoons often feature playful and witty humor, with unique characters and offbeat jokes. "I love the idea of sharing a laugh with somebody, or even just a smirk. I love when people share and repost them," the artist told Bored Panda in a previous interview.

That is what I am saying. If you give thoes full candy bars, your neighbors and everyone elce will treat you like you're the best.
Bored Panda reached out to Jim Benton again to find out how he comes up with ideas and to learn more about him. We asked the artist to walk us through his typical creative process. "Usually, I just doodle for a few minutes and an idea will come to me," Benton shared. "I'll sketch it up quickly and if it seems like it could work, I draw the final art. I prefer traditional tools, dip pens, pencils, and things like that, but I've been working more with an iPad lately. Either way, I usually add the colors in Photoshop."

I have a friend who has degrees in history, writes books, and his music to relax to is Scandinavian death metal...😁
Artist's block is a common challenge, so we were curious to learn how Benton overcomes moments of creative block, and if he has any specific strategies for reigniting his creativity. Fortunately for the artist, he doesn't really have too much trouble with that. "I'm pretty sure I won't live long enough to draw all my ideas."

I thought it was 'beer' not 'butt' & was confused what beer had to do with what she did until I saw the first comment 🤦🏻♀️
We asked Benton if there are any specific themes or topics that he finds himself consistently exploring in his work. The artist told us: "I think I gravitate to things about absurdity. I like to do comics about the unknown and the surreal: the afterlife, fantasy, mythology."

The myrrh was a dead giveaway too. They used that stuff to embalm bodies.

If you're an aspiring comic artist, buckle up, because Benton has some advice for you! "I think I would say to doodle and sketch A LOT. Enjoy the works of new and old cartoonists. And never engage a critic—if somebody gives you a negative comment, just move along."

If you have never wanted to do this, I am sure you haven't been working with computers.
Phyzzi 2 years ago
As someone who has build a few computers, I object to the destruction of hardware over software issues, and also to the destruction of innocent hardware that isn't part of the problem. That said, I have taken a torch to a few things*** (don't do this, it's stupid, dangerous and polluting) and there is some satisfaction to be had in totally fubaring that one component that has caused so much grief.

Everyone always says they won't move their pets when they're comfortable, but in my experience, the more you move them, the more often they come back because they seem to think they're not allowed there and then suddenly my lap, desk, chair, etc is the BEST thing ever. So if you want more lap pet, move them.

There for a while Cookie Monster changed his name to "sometimes cookie monster" to encourage kids to eat healthier snacks. Stupidest thing I ever heard :-P
The Rouge Beast 2 years ago
It was changed to "The Veggie Monster" for one episode... One episode people. There's nothing wrong with teaching kids to eat healthier, especially Americans. Overweight, diabetic... Land if the free refills.

I don't put it on immediately because my holder is probably older than I am and the "Six times more!" rolls are a tight squeeze so they have to be used once or twice first. Otherwise it's once sheet at a time cause it can't free-spin properly.

One part wants to give you healthcare, a living wage, progressing us into the 21st and trying to stop the fast decay of our planet. The other part doesn't care if you live or die, wants to take all your money, your soul and your body. Believes the earth is flat and 6000 years old. Science is lies. And is voting for a dictator to take control and turn the US into a fascist state. --- Anyone believing there is no difference between the two ISN'T PAYING ANY F*****G ATTENTION 🙄
