“I Just Want To Make Others Laugh”: 40 New Single-Panel Comics By Joseph Nowak That Are Sure To Lift Your Spirits
Interview With Artist
Joseph Nowak is a comic artist based in Berlin. He creates funny one-panel comics that are sure to lift your spirits. The coolest thing about Nowak's art is that you can't predict what will happen next. In his strange, made-up world, anything can happen, and that's what makes his cartoons really exciting!
"I just want to make others laugh. Some ideas might need a bit of thought, while others might help people see things in a different way. But mostly, they're just silly enough to get a laugh and maybe be shared," the artist said in a previous interview with Bored Panda.
If you're seeking a good laugh and a touch of the unexpected, Nowak's cartoons are waiting for you! Don't forget to also explore our earlier articles (here and here) for even more of Nowak's creations.

Bored Panda reached out to Nowak again to learn more about his creative process and himself. We were curious if there's anything else, like other types of art or artists, that has really influenced how he makes his comics. The artist shared that prolific creators who force themselves to create, even through bouts of block, helped him get into a good rhythm. "Someone like Stephen King (who claims to write 1000 words a day, good or bad) taught me that the best work comes after filtering out all the filler that piles up in the mind. I keep a list of cartoon ideas on me wherever I go and try to add to it daily. In the end, and upon review, something like 80% never gets drawn."

When it comes to having specific rituals or routines for creating comics, Nowak shared that he doesn't have any particular ones he can put into words. He mentioned, "Some quiet lofi hip-hop and a room to myself are the ingredients I treasure most, although I still often perform in lieu of these."
We also wanted to know what drives Nowak's passion for creating comics. The artist replied that making others laugh is a simple and fulfilling endeavor for him. "I'm happy to share my work with as large of an audience as I can manage. My mind also keeps coming up with ideas (80% of which are duds, to be sure) which leaves me feeling as though I need to keep actualizing them."
Lastly, we asked the artist if there are any other projects or collaborations he's considering pursuing in the future. "I've tried a few collaborative projects but they seem to fizzle out before they're made public," Nowak shared. "That's not to say I am not interested, just that keeping every member of the collective at the same level of motivation throughout projects seems to be a hurdle I often encounter. Instagram has been a blessing in that it has connected me with similar folk with whom a collaboration not only seems possible but almost inevitable. Stay tuned; I may have good news for you on that front soon!"

Truth. In America, once you're behind bars, you are no longer human. You are legally state or federal property. There is also no coming back from a crime. No matter how you've grown past it, no matter how much you've changed, you will ALWAYS be just another criminal, in the eyes of the law. At 23, you went on a bank-robbing spree to get the money to pay for your sick child's medical care? You NEVER got in trouble again, and fulfilled your legal obligations to the letter? When you're 80 and on oxygen, if there's a bank robbery in your area, they're going to come. They can search your home and property without a warrant, because they have probable cause.

Apparently they actually put it through the wrists of the person being executed. They tried to hit the nerve, actually, to maximize the pain.
