This Artist Delivers Humorous Comics With Dark Twists (30 New Pics)

Bored Panda reached out to Alvin again to learn more about his creative process, the role of humor in his work, and how his comics serve as both a personal and societal reflection. When asked about the unique power of comics, the artist shared that for "The Square Comics," it's the simplicity. "It's fun to condense ideas into 4-panel comics."

Alvin explained how humor helps tackle serious topics in comics: "I think it's important to be light-hearted when discussing something heavy. Personally, I find it helps take the tension away and create a safe space for a much more genuine exchange of views."

Alvin shared that he feels connected to all his comics, as they reflect his emotions in the moment. "One that I especially resonate with is about my dog who went missing a few years ago. We never found him, and drawing the comic helped with the grieving process."

As a fun extra, we asked Alvin what message he'd include in a comic strip for a time capsule for future generations. "I think I would create a comic about dealing with personal issues, to show that no matter the era, we all have unresolved issues."
