This Artist Makes Colorful Comics With Wholesome And Funny Endings, And Here’s The Result (30 Pics)
Interview With ArtistHave you ever looked at an object or food and seen a face on it? Maybe an expression you could relate to? Well, cartoonist Adam Foreman from the northwest of England decided that he’d like to see what marshmallows would look like if you brought them to life via art.
Given all of that, Bored Panda reached out to Adam to find out a little bit more about him and his work.
“I worked as a game artist/illustrator and graphic designer for many years and when my son was born, I put it on hold to be a stay-at-home dad. Being creative, I still needed a creative output and it was the first time that I had the chance to work on a project for myself and not for clients."

To my boyfriend's dismay, the universe sent me an hypoallergenic long haired calico. I love her
"That’s when I decided to make a webcomic. It coincided with the 2020 lockdown during the pandemic, too, so I was stuck at home alone and once the baby was asleep, I would draw a comic. This is when I draw comics most of the time too. When my son has a nap, I try to write, draw, and post a comic before he wakes up. 90% of the time I’m successful.”
I want small drama like whose pet keeps getting into the garbage bin, not high stakes, history making events.
But very good things are also historical events. There are a lot of thing in this world that can be improved upon
Why don't you go to Ukraine and watch it live? Then you might not be alive. A******.
I was trying to reply to Paul Young's being entertained by the war.

How relatable, I used to insult my first friend like 3-5 times a day lol
We also asked how he was inspired to start Marshmallow comics and how his characters came to be.
"The marshmallow theme is inspired from watching Ghostbusters a lot when I was younger, it was one of my favorite films. I loved the scene with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and they have been my favorite confection ever since. I’ve drawn versions of this mallow character for years now, even before comics, but the art style and humor of it has evolved over time.
I even had a version of it that I used as a mascot for my Twitch channel. I would say streaming art on Twitch is where the marshmallow character first found an audience. Nowadays the child-like nature of the character is inspired by my job working in childcare. Children are a great inspiration and say the funniest things."
Unless it's just always nonstop. Then it makes you feel like everyone else
What else do we need to know about? We're not even halfway into this stupid decade.
Future dude: 2022, huh? Wow, you haven't even seen the worst of it! Haha...oh, pretend you didn't hear that.✌🏻
We were also curious whether Adam was always involved with the art scene or not, and here's what he had to say, "I have. Back in the day, I studied art/graphic design in college and animation at University. I fell into being a game artist by accident but enjoyed it all the same and did it for many years. I can definitely see a mallow game happening in the future!"
I didn't say WHAT or WHO is on control of that chaos, however...
A lot of people enjoy the "Slice of Mallow" comics so we were wondering what it was like to reach so many people all around the world.
"It’s still really surreal. I thought it would just be friends and family reading them and it still amazes me that my comic gets read by so many people. The highlight is connecting with fellow cartoonists and the regular readers that kindly take the time to comment on my posts. It’s all been a great experience and I can’t wait to see what the future brings for my comics. I wish I had created them sooner!"
Burly bear of a hubby running around with bubblegum pink Chuck Taylors because our middle son loved pink and was being made fun of.. I'm looking at you.. ❤️❤️❤️
FREINDZONED? I don't even have friends hahahahahhaha
Load More Replies...Lastly, we asked Adam if he had any advice for those who were looking into starting their own comic account.
"Just start, you don’t need the best tech to be a cartoonist. The best advice I received when starting out was to make a google doc for notes. That way you can write down any ideas you have on the go using your phone. The best advice I could give would be to focus on having fun with it and not worry about the social media algorithm. Comics are a great relaxing hobby."
I don't know why but I find this one particularly uplifting...WAHOO!
I didn't know I needed to see teeny tiny dog and cat marshmallows until just this moment.
The fact that the cat said woof and the dog said meow, also the fact that this seems accurate about what a cat and a dog thinks.
I know a lot of people like the one on the left. But it's okay. You known why? Because no matter who's going through the worst thing, it's still awful to the person going through it, and they need some one to talk to too. Still, it can be emotionally damaging to the one on fire, so be careful that you aren't giving someone else all your burdens to carry, when they're already struggling. That is all. I hope everyone here is doing okay today <3
And sometimes when you help others it makes it better, and hope your day is great to 😄
Load More Replies...This is so sad and hilarious at the same time. The controlled chaos and this one are so much like me it's like the cartoonist knows me. Why does my life have to be like this?! I just want to be a happy healthy person.. 😭🤭😭
Welp my life is shattering but lets hear about how you stubbed your toe.
Why is he bouncing? Because he can! Also there's lava.
Load More Replies...When you're gonna test to wear your clothes and feeling excited about it then someone sees it and say their own negative perception about it without you even had a chance to wear it. This mellow is lucky to have a friend(that kind of friend). Also CuTe words "yucks your yum".
Nah. Self important, no customer service skills having managers are the worst.
Load More Replies..."Me" means that mallow is talking more about itself without taking a little "You"( about that other mallow). Should've been "We, We, We, We, We".
I have the opposite issue. I realize I overreacted with a couple numbers here and there
Load More Replies...Are these cartoons intentionally unfunny? Seriously confused, here 🤨
Sometimes it's supposed to be CuTe or make someone smile^_^. You can have your own likings though♡
Load More Replies...*looks into the comment section* Yes, exactly what I expected and it is awesome!
" yeah... weather..." thinks of Pepa. "Sorry- AND THERE WASNT A CLOUD IN THE SKY (no clouds allowed in the sky)" and that's how that would continue If I was marshmallow one
He told me that the life in my dreams. Would be promised and some day be mine. He told me that my power would grow like a grape that thrives on a vine.
Lot's of mallows are getting burned here, their face is CuTe though^__^
I wish my brain could do that. I give it permission to go on holiday when it needs to
When you can't stop thinking about the last movie you've watched and snapping back to reality suddenly you didn't realized you're thinking of it again then it's either your mind keeps it up or get out.
I don't have any cats (well I have one, but that's not the point) but I'll take them all
Has anone seen that gatch youtube short where the guy is like 'found your phone' and his friend says 'that's not my phone, my phone's here'........'It was on your table'.......'dude not everything near me is mine'........'Oh so this isn't your xbox?'.......'N- No. Where did you get that?'........'WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!'............'Tell you what?

Tongue is stronger, heart is stronger than both ... but as they are also organs, I guess they can be ruled out.

This is like a far more mellow and relaxed Foamy the squirrel but with more pillze if he wasn't completely neurotic. I love it.
