40 Hilarious Comics With Funny Twists And Unexpected Endings By This Artist
Interview With Artist
It’s time to take a break and get a nice dose of entertainment. We’re happy to have you covered today and to present you with a comic series featured on Bored Panda for the first time.
‘Dustinteractive Comics’ by the illustrator Dustin Rogers is loaded with good humor, unexpected twists, and surprising endings. The author of the series told us more about his journey into the world of comic art: “I am a UX designer by profession, and surprisingly, this job involves a significant amount of storytelling. We craft ‘user stories,’ essentially storyboarding exercises to demonstrate how people will interact with designs.
Over the years, this evolved into a passion, and I began enhancing these skills. Storyboarding became my preferred method of communicating ideas. I remember it feeling like a superpower. It led to promising ideas, which went from sketches to internet posts, then viral Reddit content, and ultimately became a lucrative career in comic making. It was a dream come true.”

Asked to describe his artistic style and the themes Dustin often explores in his comics, he said: “Before my current role in fin-tech, I worked as the UX lead on a CRM system for major companies like McDonald’s, Ford Motors, and Domino’s Pizza. Consumerism intrigued me, becoming a prominent theme in my comic work. This led me to become fascinated with other human behavior and I started observing silly aspects of married life among my friends. Things like this provided abundant material for my ‘Playing House’ and ‘Ethan the Vegan’ series.

Not a little thing... messes with your shopping routine for months afterward!
We were wondering what Rogers’ creative process looks like and what tools, software, or techniques the artist typically uses when creating his comics. The author of the ‘Dustinteractive Comics’ series told us: “I always begin by sketching everything by hand, a practice ingrained in me from art school. Despite experimenting with digital tools like tablets and iPads, I found the traditional method of sketching on newsprint and then photographing and vectoring in Illustrator to be most efficient. While many of my creative friends disagree, I've become very adept at digitizing physical work with a mouse, surpassing the speed of any stylus. Creating 3 comics a week on top of a full-time software design job was extremely challenging. Efficiency became important in my creative process and I stuck with the process that worked the best for me at the time.”
Next, we wanted to find out if Dustin could tell us more about specific influences or artists who have inspired his work. The illustrator shared with us: “My entry into the world of comics was inspired by Matthew Inman, the creator of The Oatmeal. Seeing his ability to tell captivating stories and make a substantial impact on the world fascinated me. He was also brilliant at marketing. His success in monetizing his work also influenced me, as he pioneered ways for comic artists to sustain themselves independently.”

Niiice. On another note, Quack-Whacker's name origin raises curiosity about potential hidden character traits

Finally, we asked the artist what his future plans and projects are. We found out: “After my contract ended with Webtoon, I've taken time to focus on a crucial project—myself. Addressing bad habits that developed during the years of nonstop creation, I'm committed to personal growth and health. Despite some readers feeling abandoned, I’m feeling great and have big plans for the future that hopefully redeem my recent absence.
I am working on a card game set for release in early 2024. This four-year project aims to captivate my audience and showcase the style and humor of my original work, while offering a new flair on what’s to come. I am thrilled to unveil this project and break back into this space that I’ve missed so much.”

I was a little ahead of that. I don't remember my first chapter book but it was before third grade.

Not a humble brag, but my first was The Hobbit. Parents read it to me all the time, so I figured it out. Teachers didn't believe me. Still have the green, leather, gold leaf edition with the worst little kid handwriting inside the cover.

Nothing worse than teachrs who can't believe you read an entire book in the afternoon. Very upsetting. She sent me back home with it and called me a silly little girl. My mother opened it towards the end asked me a random question which I answered, then she had a little word with the teacher the following day. The policeman's name was Theophilus Goon.

My first one was so long ago; I think I started on chapter books around 4-5. It might've been one of my mom's Anne McCaffrey or my sister's Andre Norton. I do remember reading Anne of Green Gables not too long after - the series has been my favorite ever since.

My first chapter book was Little Men. My mother had put it on the top shelf because someone had told her it was too old for me yet ...

Hatchet is the second best book on earth! (Where The Red Fern Grows is #1) I absolutely adore the Hatchet series. They are so cool. I had to read the first book for school and I liked it so much I asked for the rest for Christmas.

I remember reading Hatchet for a novel study in grade 5! I got in trouble because I read the whole book in one instead of reading one chapter each week with everyone else-

I wish I was living in the album cover of that last song. It seems nice compared to how things are today.
