Doug has often said that his humor comes from simply looking at life and giving it a little twist. “Everyday scenarios, especially when taken out of context, are a goldmine for humor,” he told Bored Panda. When those everyday situations meet superheroes, fairy-tale figures, or pop culture icons, the results are even funnier.

The artist doesn’t stick to one formula when coming up with ideas. “Sometimes I stare at a blank paper and try to think of something funny. That usually doesn’t work,” Doug admitted. Instead, he likes to start with a situation or phrase and let his mind wander—something that works perfectly when the subject is a familiar character we all recognize.

While Doug’s style is semi-realistic and simple, the focus is always on the joke. As he explained, “A great drawing will not sell a poor idea. The gag is the heart of the cartoon.” That’s why his takes on mythical creatures or famous cartoons feel so sharp—they’re built on a funny thought first, with the art bringing it to life.

Sure, censor d a m n, but show disembodied body parts. So hypocritical BP.
“The joy of creating a cartoon and seeing people smile because of it is what keeps me going,” Doug said. Whether he’s poking fun at a wizard, a superhero, or a beloved character from children’s stories, his work proves that good humor never gets old.
