Nowak has been drawing comics since 2012, so we asked what keeps him motivated to continue creating one-panel comics after all these years.
"When I first started drawing the cartoons I was worried about running out of ideas. There have been many single-panel cartoonists, working inside these parameters for many, many years and it's easy to come to the conclusion that it's all been done before. But I soon realized (through internet searches, comic book peruses, and correspondence with prolific artists) that that's not the case at all and that only a small percent of the infinite amount of ideas have yet to be put on paper."

Like many artists, Nowak experiences creative blocks. However, he believes the best remedy is to step away from the drawing table and immerse himself in other types of work.

"Pirating" Maple Syrup? In Melbourne (Australia) it's $9.50 for 250 ml - and between $12 and $14 for organic Maple Syrup. Not cheap. I'd be inclined to go out and slit a trunk if I was having a large stack of pancakes! [but then, I'm on a diet... :( ]

It doesn't come out of the tree as syrup, the sap has to be boiled down and reduced to syrup

Damn straight. We can thank Reagan for starting the US on the road to horrendous wealth inequality.

We asked Nowak about the role of humor in art and how he believes it shapes people's perspective on everyday life. "Humor is a good escape and an international language. For the type of comics I draw it's obviously essential and I think needs to be delivered quickly and precisely," the artist responded.

We wondered whether Nowak ever feels pressured to produce specific types of content, or if he prefers to follow his natural creative instincts.
"I sensor some of my ideas because I don't want my work to be exclusively understood or liked by any one demographic. I've also touched on some subject matter in the past that didn't go over so well so I stay away from it. Much like a stand-up comic honing their material on small stages until it's ready for the hour-long televised special, I take pointers from my audience and mould upcoming material somewhat."

Saw a cartoon showing Edward Scissorhands playing 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' with Ben Grimm (the Fantastic Four's rock-like member, 'The Thing').

You have to configure it for your set first. Good Luck finding the correct programming code.

Sorry I couldn't laugh at this, because I got to thinking how many people would be so pleased with this explanation, because we wouldn't need to do something ourselves then.

The scary part is, there's a chance that somewhere in the world someone DOES believe this 😭🤦🏻♀️
