33 Comics About Gaming, And Universal Experiences Many People Might Relate To, By Mindy Kilgore
Interview With ArtistDo we have any gaming fans out there? We're sure we do! However, know that you don’t need to be a part of the gamer community to enjoy the series we’re about to present to you today. Mindy Kilgore creates comics partially inspired by her own life. Get ready to dive into some relatable content about being a video game enthusiast, pet parent, or simply a human being… all showcased in a funny caricatural way.
Mindy was kind enough to answer a few questions we had for her. The first one regarded the inspiration to start creating her funny comic series. The artist shared with us: “I’ve been making comics since I was around 5, I found graphic narrative storytelling to be really fascinating and an accessible way to express myself. So I’ve just created comics pretty much through my entire life.”

Asked about some recurring themes in her comics, Kilgore answered: “Most of the recurring themes in my comics are gaming and universal experiences people share around them.”
That's beezuz, not Jezus. And I think I see the 4 horseflies of the apocalypse...
The four horseflies of the apocalypse! :))

I'm a 42 year old GIRL! I've been a gamer since I was old enough to navigate the keyboard on our Commador 64. There was no such thing as "girl games" back then, and I've seen it that way since.
The artist has also told us more about the characters featured in her chuckle-worthy series: “The recurring character in most of my comics is a caricature of myself, but I try not to really focus on that. Most of the other characters are inspired by gaming NPCs.”
omg i just started playing skyrim recently and there are references everywhere
So is Corgi Queen a corgi that rules absolute over all other corgis? Or Queen Elizabeth II? 🤔
Load More Replies...We wanted to know what Mindy’s creative process looks like. We learned that: “All of my comics start with thumbnail sketches on paper that I usually do in just a few minutes to map out the general layout and character poses/expressions. Then I do the linework and color digitally in Procreate on the iPad Pro.”
Finally, Kilgore shared who inspires her work: “I’ve always been inspired by many other comic artists, growing up it was a lot of Jhonen Vasquez and nowadays I look up to Adam Ellis, Sarah Anderson, Last Place Comics, and Litterbox Comics.”
My guess is Skyrim with Thomas the tank Engine mod.

I might be wrong but that is likely the kanji stroke for Nani aka What? in Japanese.

Honestly though the fact everyone, especially women, have to be careful not to be kidnapped or murdered is just horrible
Yeah, but for some reason boys are more at risk at a young age

Not in ye olden days. The ring would take up only 1/6 the space of a breastplate! 😂

I had that happen once. A bee was in my straw and I swallowed it. That's how I learned I was allergic to bees.

like in this Sherlock Holmes game where Watson followed you around by just..appearing behind you
Load More Replies...Where is the garlic farmer from? I heard about this in videos of viva la dirt league. But I have no idea which game this character is from.
Load More Replies...It only comes in colors that look awful on you.

That's why I'm looking for walkthrough instructions in text. If there aren't any, I'll keep banging my head on the controller.
Same around here. Only time the Texas heeler gets lovey dovey is dinner time. Otherwise it's, "Don't touch me."
Yup. My orange cat hates humans, but comes over and trills and purrs at me every evening before dinner.
For me it's either soy sauce, Dijon, mirin, or dashi. I can't help it if those are so amazing at boosting flavor!
Yes. My corgi loves veggies like cucumbers and celery and my terrier-sonething mix doesn't. He just spitecronches.
My Lhasa Apso - Me: Sit. Panda: Stand? Me: Come. Panda: Stay? Me: Stay. Panda: BYE!
I completely forgot this was supposed to be about video games until you mentioned it- I thought I was scrolling through some "owning a dog" like comic
