Dogmodog is back on Bored Panda with more of his dark and humorous comics! The stories this artist creates mock today's society and its issues, often making fun of addiction to technology, religion, social media, and many more topics that concern us today.

Dogmo's comics often have unexpected and twisted endings, but most of them will probably make you laugh because of that. His style is quite simple—most of his characters are just shapeless figures—but that doesn't take away from the story at all.

On a previous interview on Bored Panda he told us: "To put it succinctly, I make these webcomics as a way to cope with growing older (I just turned 30), and to have a creative outlet in a world of 40-hour workweeks, and unending societal obligations." Having an outlet is very important to everyone, we're very happy that Dogmas outlet is creating these amazing comics.

I just keep away from people all people. Some call it social distancing but I just am an introvert

We asked the artist some more questions. Dogmo shares what other comic artists inspire him: "Previous to making comics, the only webcomic I read was Perry Bible Fellowship, who I still see as the gold standard. Since then, I’ve also enjoyed False Knees with his gorgeous birds, Becks with her Twilight Zone-esque horror comics, Elder Cactus with his prolific output of jokes, and Extra Fabulous Comics with his obsession with male emissions. A recent favorite is Last Place Comics."

Not that far from the truth. Do you know why pet toys squeak when squeezed?

The artist also told us how being featured on Bored Panda affected his career: "Being featured on Bored Panda about a year ago certainly grew my audience quite a bit. I’ve been on the typical social media sites long enough that my growth in those places has slowed. It’s been harder and harder to find new, untapped audiences—especially those who are looking for new comics to read. Bored Panda was, and is, a great opportunity to find new readers."

Fun fact! We were alive when Neanderthals were. The reason they went extinct was because we simply outcompeted them. (Beep boop, I am pretending to be a bot, for more info read my bio!)

That is so mean if one of my teachers did that I’d kick them from the call (yes my school gives us the power to do that)

"I don’t really make comics that are relatable, or autobiographical in any way, so I think people react more to the unexpectedness. I also get nice comments complimenting things like my art style, or maybe using a cool perspective shot. One person regularly pops in to say they like how I draw water. I never quite know what someone’s going to say," said Dogmo when asked how people react to his dark comics.

The alpha wolf is no such thing the scientist that did that study only saw female wolves taking care of their young but thought it was a pack leader

Dogmo says that he has slowed down on creating comics: "I used to make about two a week, but now it’s more like one every two weeks. I’ve started animating some of my favorite comics, which is a very time-consuming process and comes at the expense of posting new comics. I’m still jotting down ideas and sketching rough drafts, though."

"My favorite comics build a world, set an absurd premise, and manage to make a joke all within 4 panels. I laugh the hardest when I don’t see something coming, but in hindsight feel like the joke was there all along—why didn’t I notice it before?"

Dogmo shared a really sweet and fond memory of his which inspired him to create comics: "As a kid, my dad would leave little notes and drawings around the house—like one in the cookie jar mocking us that he ate the last one (and that it was 'really good'). I think the decision to start making comics stems from those memories."

What do you think of these comics? Which one do you relate to the most? Tell us in the comments and don't forget to show some love to the artist on his social media! If you want to see Dogmo's previous post on Bored Panda, click here!

Fun fact, if we end up creating a simulation of life identical to ours, where the beings inside are sentient, and likely have no idea it’s a simulation, there’s an even likelier chance we are also a simulation creating simulations. And if we are, it’s awfully unlikely we are the first simulation. If ANY single simulation before us dies, we will die too. (Beep boop, I am pretending to be a bot, for more info read my bio!)

I ask myself this question quite often. For example, I know what the color red looks like, and any non-color-blind person would tap on the red balloon and say that it's red if they had the choice between differently colored balloons. But what does the color really look like for each one? Or shapes, textures, etc.

Fun fact, liking only women as a straight male was considered strange by ancient romans and Greeks. (Beep boop, I am pretending to be a bot, for more info read my bio!)

Just a thought, but if your parents tell you to not talk to strangers, then how are we suppose to make friends?

Fun fact, Dogs are afraid of vets because they likely smell a large amount of other animals and think they are dead due to smelling them but not seeing them (Beep boop, I am pretending to be a bot, for more info read my bio!)

I thought the sketch was going to be of the news crew since they seem to be following him around everywhere...
