Bored Panda got in touch with Jim to ask him more about his creative process and himself. The artist revealed that he tried other forms of art before comics. "I really loved sculpture and printmaking, and painting. But at some point, the voice of your inner jackass becomes deafening, and you find yourself listening to it. I also write quite a bit."

Oscar would have that book. Can't go to the bathroom alone, can't walk into the kitchen alone, can't get up from the recliner without him jumping up. It's okay buddy! I promise!

I get home first, so whenever I get home Axel just starts whining and barking like crazy for me to let him out of his crate.
After being asked where Jim gets inspiration from, the artist replied that he doesn't really know where his ideas come from. "I usually just sit down at the drawing table and the ideas begin. Some bad, some good. My style comes from a love of experimentation. I’m afraid I may have an art-supply abuse problem."

That's how I ended up "rescuing" a kid who's was trying to put his swim suit on after it fell off. He swam away as I was about to make contact and sprinted out of the pool area. I didn't know naked people could move that fast..

The most challenging part of the creative process for Jim is being seen. "There are so many terrific options for people, it’s tough to elbow your way through the crowd. But when you do, it’s worth it."
"I love the idea of sharing a laugh with somebody, or even just a smirk. I love when people share and repost them."
#7
Jim shared that his brand, 'It's Happy Bunny', is being relaunched, and the product is starting to show up in Hot Topic and other stores. "I have a 'Batman' project coming soon from DC. And I’m working on 'Dear Dumb Diary' graphic novels for Scholastic. Also, I’m running a promotion for people to win original art from my book 'Comet, the Unstoppable Reindeer'." All the details on that are on Jim's Twitter and Instagram. The artist also has a page on gocomics.com, and his website!

Forward thinking people keep their wallet in their front pocket. Dungarees (jeans) have two pockets in the back specifically for a handkerchief and a pair of riding gloves. The left front pocket is designed to carry a tool like a wrench. The pocket is typically long with no obstruction. The right pockets are for your watch and your wallet or pocketbook.

It's the idea that they shoot quills when they fight, actually though it's just that some can come out when a predator tries to take bite, the quills get stuck in the foolish predator's mouth and face. It would be just a few at a time and it grows back, so you'd never see a bald adult, except in a cute comic.
Mosheh Wolf 3 years ago
African crested porcupines will ram into an attacker backwards and slam their spines into the attacker. So while they do not shoot their quills, they do attack with them. SInce quills are modified hair, they not only grow back, but are shed pretty regularly.

It's estimated 2/3rds of life on Earth are microorganisms, so the joke is that it's technically true: most Earthlings AREN'T as big as a flea.
Zahid Hussain 3 years ago
Actually it must be much more than 2/3 if we are talking of numbers. It might be referring to the total mass.
Load More Replies... Lorraine R 3 years ago
If you're the size of a flea, you will have a very tiny brain, and thus no capability for perceiving creatures as much bigger than you as a cat, never mind a human. Looks like the little green guys' brains might be big enough, though.

Use wand toys: literally a toy, like a mouse, fish, or bunch of feathers, on a string, tied to a stick. Wave the stick, toy goes flying, wittle Bouche can pounce all day long and never land on you. Source: helped a stray mama cat raise 2 litters of quadruplets

Some politician several years ago referred to DC as a swamp because all of the agencies are staffed primarily with career civil servants, who do their jobs regardless of which party is in power. This politician implied that the career people were partisan and said he would "drain the swamp", by which he meant "fire all the senior career people (who knew how the jobs were supposed to be done) and replace them with loyal party people (who would then proceed to run the agencies according to their party's agenda without regard to regulations or protocols already in place)". The cartoon implies that the swamp creatures are insulted by having their home compared to a place as horrifyingly awful as Washington DC.

At the prison I went to, there were no fitted sheets. We had to tie the top and lower ends together so it would stay on the mattress. After washing the linens, the sheet would pull the sides of the mattress in and up, until the person lay on it. We'd call them canoes.
