Bored Panda reached out to Dan again, as always, with some more new questions!
Piraro noted the challenges he faced in illustrating the graphic novel. "Illustrating Peyote Cowboy has indeed thrown some curveballs my way. The primary challenge has been translating the ethereal, mystical visions in my mind into tangible, visual forms on paper," he shared. He further highlighted the importance of maintaining authenticity, saying, "And to maintain the authenticity of the setting and the era has required quite a bit of research, but it's all part of the journey I suppose."

Dan explained that there isn't a specific recurring theme or character he always returns to. However, he has an inclination towards the comedic side of daily life, "When it comes to recurring characters or themes, there isn't one particular that I'm drawn to repeatedly... Though I must admit, I do have a soft spot for poking fun at the quirks and idiosyncrasies of daily life."
I love truffle! The mushroom kind and the chocolate kind!
The artist recalled a touching fan encounter that left a deep impression on him. "One that sticks out is when a fan told me that my comics helped them through a rough patch in their life when dealing with depression... I was younger at the time, but it was a humbling moment that reminded me of the profound impact art can have on other people besides its creator."
Piraro's approach to his artwork is a blend of daydreaming, sketching, and refining, well, at least that's how he describes it. He detailed, "A lot of daydreaming, a lot of doodling, and gallons of coffee. I let the ideas marinate in my mind, then I sketch them out, refine the drawings, and then ink and color them."
In case you didn't know, in our last interview with him, Dan mentioned that he enjoys sculpting! Considering that, we couldn't help but ask how sculpting might have influenced his comic work, to which Piraro speculated, "Sculpting is a more tactile, physical process compared to drawing, and it demands a different kind of attention to detail. I imagine it could bring a new depth to my understanding of form and space, which could certainly influence my comic work in intriguing ways, but that's for the future me to decide."
If the cats have the foresight and planning to make this happen, then they will almost certainly be better rulers than we are
One time my classmate used ChatGPT and purposely put some grammatic errors so they wouldn't get caught. It was 46% human written and 54% AI. They got caught anyway.

I once saw a woman driving behind me that wanted to do everything but drive. When she picked up the book and started flipping pages, I pulled over and allowed her to pass.
Sigh...carrot standards are so unrealistic. From incredibly skinny carrots to round baby carrots. Beauty standards are so confusing...

I wonder what Dan Piraro and King Features think about having their comics illegally reposted on this page. It's great when BP lets authors and artists post their own work, but stealing work that earns the creator money is illegal and also just not right. The "author" of this page, Hidrėlėy, is making money off of someone else's work. Someone who's actually creative, and not a plagiarist.
I like the easter eggs the artist hides. There's usually a hidden stick of dynamite, a piece of pie or eyeball, and sometimes something in a small spaceship
