We’re once again excited to introduce a single-panel cartoon series by a new artist making their Bored Panda debut. George Webster, the creator behind ‘SplitzSense’, brings us comics filled with absurdity—often with a twist of relatability.

As described in his Instagram bio, the series offers “a different Flavour of Humour,” and George sums it up in three words: “Quirky, Offbeat, OldSchool.” If you’re curious to learn more about SplitzSense and want to explore the series further, just keep scrolling.

If time travel ever comes to exist we will already know it, unless the future is so much better that nobody wants to come back to our lousy time.

Based on how the USA is headed, the future will be much worse.

After travelling to the past and "remembering" the birthday then it will cause a paradox as he would not have travelled to the past if he remembered.

It's quite difficult to envisage any time travel that does not empower some possibility of paradox - definitely so, if you close the loop. But, paradoxes can be paradoctored - that's much of what Dr Who does. And, as long as his mother gets that card, it's 'no harm, no foul !'.

We spoke to the cartoonist and asked him a few questions about his series. We were curious to know how George first got inspired to start creating comics and to learn more about his creative process. The artist shared that it all began with “reading Mad, Cracked, and Crazy magazines back in the ’80s,” which sparked his interest in the genre and motivated him to start making his own creations.

    When asked about the creative process behind his work, Webster offered a behind-the-scenes look and explained how he typically comes up with ideas for new cartoons: “I draw from simple every day life happenings and sometimes go astray.”

    Finally, George revealed which piece from his body of work stands out as his personal favorite so far, noting that while he has a few cartoons he likes, they’re often not his most popular. “It’s all in the eye of the beholder, I guess,” he added.
