Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes, and comic artists seemingly aren’t excluded from that list either. Recently a new artist called "cooperlitcomics” has been spotted on Instagram, and his creations have racked up over 29K followers over the last few years. His comics range from funny everyday situations to speaking snakes and even pop-culture characters such as Hulk or Batman.
Bored Panda reached out to "cooperlitcomics” to find out a little bit more about how he started his journey as a comic artist.
“I’ve loved the comics medium since I was a kid. I’ve always wanted to make them, but I put it off for too long. More recently I wrote a play that I wanted to adapt into a graphic novel, but I thought before I tackle something so ambitious, I should start with shorter works. That was 3 years ago and they’ve been well enough received that I’ve been encouraged to keep making them. What started as preparation has become my main pursuit. I’m still going to do the graphic novels though!”

Don't feed squirrels. They are not pets. They are not cute. It is best for them to be afraid of humans. Feeding them will only make them unhealthy and possibly too bold, so they become violent. Depending on where you live, they may even be invasive. Its just all around better to leave them be.

But they are cute! Little floofy tailed tree rats!

We also took the time to ask the author of the comics about the characters he portrays.
“Often it starts with a little moment or scene that comes to me and sparks my imagination. A squirrel that’s too old to chew its food or a chick that doesn’t fully break out of her egg. I’ll think, what kind of person (or animal) would be like that? How would others around them react? Pretty soon a story starts to emerge."

"Once I did a comic about two people who were each trying to hide from the other a physical flaw they felt insecure about. In the caption, I invited readers to tell me something about their appearance they didn’t like and for each I tried to argue why that trait was a good thing. I thought it would be cool to have a character who does that for a living and that led to ‘The Shape of Us’.”

When asked about whether the artist has always been working in the art field, here’s what he told us: “Yes. I’ve loved drawing since someone put a crayon in my hand. I got interested in writing as a teenager.”
The artist’s stories reach a lot of people on social media so we were curious how the artist felt about that.“It’s very gratifying. I’m really lucky to have mostly positive people and very little nastiness. It’s so cool to make something in my little part of the world and hear back from people in faraway places.
I think it’s important for creators to first write to please themselves, but seeing people’s reactions can be very instructive in terms of helping me know if I’ve gotten across what I intended to or missed the mark. I don’t need everyone to get a piece, but I want some people to.”

When asked about what advice he’d give to people starting out with comics, here’s what the artist said, “Just start now and draw a ton. Don’t be overly critical and perfectionist or it will tighten you up. Find the joy in making what you had as a kid and just explore. My girlfriend Yvee is a great artist and I’m begging her to put her drawings online so others can enjoy them. She doesn’t really get how good she is.”

It was only a few powerful religious fanatics that lead people, just like the Catholic church during the crusades in sacerficing children due to famine during the children's crusade. Countless other examples. It does not reflect the people as a whole

To be completely fair to the Jews of that day, it would be really weird to have laws saying "NEVER claim to be God, that is BLASPHEMY" and then when you execute a guy for doing just that, you get hated forever. I am Catholic, but still.

Think real hard about the difference between eating, and leaving something run over in the street, but don't strain yourself.
Monday 3 years ago
It isn't actually. Stopping your car to not run over a duck and eating chicken have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Hypocrisy would be protesting the horrors of KFC while still eating KFC. There's nothing wrong with prioritizing some things over others. I would never knowingly eat a cat because I love cats, but I'll eat as much chicken as I please because I have no emotional attachment to chickens.

2: guns. The right to guns was higher on the priority list than slavery, due process, and the right to vote for non wealthy white land owners. What does that say about a country?

At the time, slavery was common in more than just America. I'm not justifying it, but if you're going to look down on America as a whole because of it, you're going to need a lot more fingers to point.

when compared to history a span of human lives isn't a "long view" and i scoff at anyone who claims to think in geological years and eras. monkey brains like humans still have aren't wired to think like that. we end up repeating vicious cycles precisely because humans aren't wired to think in the long-term with any accuracy. human hubris both amuses and enrages me.

It's about a real life event. if you google "1993 billings montana" some articles should come up about it. basically it's an inspiring story about a community came together to support Jews who were the victims of hate crimes (and other groups were also victims of hate crimes in that area as well). And it's showing how similar things happen today like with BLM and LGTBQ+ pride :D
