Bored Panda reached out to John to learn more about the artist's typical day when he’s working on a new comic.

John wrote: “I usually think up my comic ideas in the quiet moments when I'm driving or taking a shower. When I do get that eureka moment, I write down some notes on my phone. Every comic starts with paper and pencil because I'm a traditionalist at heart. After that, I translate it digitally on Photoshop, and out comes a fresh, floofy comic!”

    Furthermore, we were curious if John has ever had to scrap a comic idea after starting it. He responded: “Many times. Usually, I'm able to discern in my brain if an idea is good enough to put on paper or not, but sometimes I have to see it on paper to really know it won't work. That can be due to a variety of reasons but the main thing I look for is a strong punchline. So if it's not funny enough in my mind, I go back to the drawing board.”
