Skeleton Claw is a webcomic series that has gained a significant following thanks to its combination of dark humor and quirky characters. Created by illustrator Andy, these comics feature bizarre scenarios and situations that range from the absurd to the poignant. Andy's unique style and off-beat sensibility have earned him a loyal fan base that eagerly awaits each new installment of the series.

During a previous interview with Bored Panda, Skeleton Claw's creator shared some interesting insights into his artistic process. He revealed that he draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including conversations with friends, long walks, and even his dreams. Once he has an idea, he will often write it down as a note on his phone before turning it into a fully-fledged cartoon drawing.

Bored Panda reached out to Andy, the person behind Skeleton Claw comics. We wanted to find out more about his work and background as a comic artist. First, we asked how he decides on the themes and subjects for his stories. Andy told us: “Usually, they're from stray thoughts wandering around my head. I read stuff, talk with friends, walk around, etc., and somehow little random things get inside my head and bounce around my head for a while. Sometimes those random thoughts turn into comics.”

    Next, we were wondering what kind of feedback the artist values the most when it comes to his work. Andy said: “I love it when people share my stuff (as long as they give credit). It's as if they're saying 'I like this so much that I want other people to see it.' Please keep doing that.”

    You should look up abstractification. It's where the artist starts a standard sketch then makes a slightly abstract version of it. Then they do it again and again until all you see are shapes. It's fun.

    We imagine creating the webcomic must have some challenges, so we asked Andy which aspect of creating his stories turns out to be the most difficult. The author said: “Consistency. The way my brain seems to work is that I'll get several good ideas in a row and feel really inspired, then suddenly all that creativity seems to evaporate and I have no motivation.”

    I knew a guy who owned a hearse. He once showed up at a house to "collect the body" of a guy who'd been a jerk to a mutual friend. The jerk wasn't dead, of course, and said so. Then the driver showed some mocked-up paperwork dated for two days in the future, pointed out the erroneous date, apologized, and left.

    Asked about some subjects or themes that he hasn't tackled in his works yet, but would like to explore in the future, Andy mentioned comics about politics. He said: “I usually don't like drawing comics about politics. This is something I struggle with, since sometimes I think, 'Maybe I have an obligation to speak out since I have an audience.' But at the same time, it's not like there's a shortage of comedic political stuff. We're practically drowning in it. So for now, politics will probably remain a topic I only discuss occasionally.”

    Our planet is loaded with pleasurable objects that make our struggle to survive a tiny bit more tolerable and Christians call them a Sin. How does that even make sense? Life isn't supposed to suck, the Iron Age religions that label everything as evil and bad make it suck. Suffering isn't Holy, Life is a Gift to be enjoyed and celebrated. Beer was one of humanity's first inventions. I bet farming started so they could make more beer!

    We wanted to know how important social media is for artists to promote and showcase their work. Andy told us: “Social media is a paradoxical force. It provides creators with the opportunity to cultivate an audience without relying on traditional publishing gatekeepers, paving the way for weirder artists to gain popularity. However, the social media platforms themselves can also be the worst enemy of comic artists. Their algorithms foster an addictive cycle, where a flood of likes and follows feels exhilarating, but a comic's lackluster performance can lead to dejection and frustration. The erratic nature of these algorithms makes posting feel like being subject to a capricious god, who whimsically bestows rewards and metes out punishment with equal unpredictability.”

    The artist continued: “As a comic creator, I try to focus on the aspects within my control, like honing my craft, improving my writing, and putting out content that genuinely resonates with me. Key emphasis on try.” Lastly, asked about his hopes related to what people can take away from his comics, Andy answered shortly: “If I can make just one person chuckle while they're on the toilet, then it is all worth it.”

    Because people who apologize either don't mean it (Shane Dawson for example) or are apologizing for doing something that's not this easily forgivable (if they spent their entire career being an awful person a "sorry" doesn't cut it, even if it's honest.) You apologize for doing something in a fit of emotions and then it can be easily forgiven with a simple "sorry". ...Why am I explaining basic kindergarten rules to you XD
