This Artist Might Make You Laugh With His Single-Panel Comics (40 Pics)
Interview With Artist
If you're a long-time reader of Bored Panda, Jimmy Craig might be a very well-known name for you since we've shared a fair share of his works. He writes and illustrates the humorous animal comic "They Can Talk" which received a lot of your attention and love (you can check out the posts by clicking here, here, here, here, here, here and here). Jimmy has been doing the series for over seven years now and his work has even been published in the New Yorker!
In this article, however, we want to introduce you to a slightly different side of Jimmy. He has recently launched a new Instagram page where he uploads witty single-panel comics as a way to share his other ideas. The artist told us that the illustrations are more of a "brain dump" than a structured series, but he has loved making them and the response has been great, so the artist fully intends to keep it running!

Gotta be angry bees. Or very much harassed bees. Bees are so peaceful 🥰 Probably all Pandas know, just wanted to say it. 💖

Why bees, anyway. It has always intrigued me for it to be called a spelling BEE? why not spelling horse or cow?
We got curious about how Jimmy's journey as an artist started. He shared that he used to redraw his favorite comic strips as a kid, that and Ninja Turtles. "I wore down a lot of green crayons. I remember making short picture books too... and have plans to start doing those again after a few-decades-long hiatus. I've been into writing, animation, and film production, really anything creative - but drawing has always been a constant."

Omg this is my cat exactly!! I wish mine just stared at clock, he also knocks everything over until you feed him.
We asked Jimmy where he gets ideas for his comics. The artist answered that he is inspired by music, other comic artists, and just from being out in the world. "Needing inspiration is a great excuse to go out for coffee."
"I've been a huge fan of The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes, even before I was old enough to get half the jokes. Later on, Nicholas Gurewitch's PBF comics revived my interest in comics and introduced me to other series like Space Avalanche and Extra Fabulous Comics. More recently, I've been into a lot of New Yorker cartoonists like Brendan Loper and Zoe Si. There are so many amazing cartoonists today whose work is so readily available that I feel like we're living in a new Golden Age of Comics."

It's been years ago but I and some friends found out the fans got really upset with you if you root for the bull in Spain. It's a really chickenshit "sport" though. It's just prolonged animal torture before he's finally killed.

"I really find making comics fulfilling, which is sort of a prerequisite to being a cartoonist. I don't think anyone gets in the game for the money. I am a fan first and love just being part of the conversation, never mind getting published alongside some of my favorites. My goal is always to make people laugh, but if someone stops scrolling for a second and smiles - I'll take it."

Waiting rooms are always creepily quiet or annoyingly loud. Or there’s some weird music playing. I hate all of them
Jimmy has created a new book that's coming out in the spring, called Are You Gonna Eat That? It's a greatest hits collection of They Can Talk comics and we are pretty sure that all the fans are going to love it! You can preorder the book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

YEP! I hate when I’m driving somewhere and some other motorist has their music (usually bass-boosted ofc) SO LOUD that I can’t hear anything else except their music and their car vibrating from it. I always sarcastically say to them “THANKS FOR SHARING!!!” … but it’s not like they could hear me over DUUUUM DUUUUM DUUUUM DURT DURT DUUUUM DUUUUM DUUUUM

Knowledge is to know that Frankenstein is the guy who built the monster, not the monster itself. Wisdom is to know that the real monster is Frankenstein, the guy who built the so-called monster.
PenitentEyeball 3 years ago (edited)
And common sense is knowing that calling Frankenstein’s monster either Frankenstein or Frankenstein’s Monster is fine, because almost 100% of the time we are not talking about the scientist.

Please stop making these insulting jokes about the son of god, if you don't know the symbolism behind the water into wine.
Al Padilla 3 years ago
The "miracles" were used as a show to collect onlookers, who maybe might listen to the sermon. Great marketing idea. Priests, ministers, rabbis, imams and guru's should all take courses in doing magic tricks to attract an audience. Meanwhile, I'd strongly suggest watching Monty Python's "Life of Brian" as an antidote.

Maybe because not everyone agrees with your fav comic? I’m not trying to be an áss, but trying to be serious - plus the allcaps don’t help - it makes it sound demanding, rather than a discourse on your personal preferences and lack of understanding as to why others don’t feel the same way.
