Some artists choose to use their talent and creativity to contribute to larger causes, focusing their work on common social issues. There's nothing wrong with dedicating their crafts to something as light-hearted as humor, as everyone needs it from time to time! Then there's a third group of creative minds, attempting to combine both approaches to create something light in form yet with deeper meaning, discussing important matters in a lighthearted way to make them more approachable to a wider audience.

Today, we're excited to introduce you to the work of Henry James Garrett, a writer, illustrator, and the creator of the wildly popular Instagram account formerly known as Drawings of Dogs, now simply named after him. Through his heartwarming drawings featuring animals and everyday objects, the artist focuses on expressing thoughtful ideas about wellness, social justice, equality, LGBT identity, and more.

That is true, also if drawing is acurate he's just a result of multiple cross breading of dogs some mad scientist though looked funny.. so no pack for them... Ever ... New breed ...

Bored Panda reached out to Henry to find out more about his work. We were wondering what inspired the artist to start creating his heartwarming cartoons. The illustrator shared with us: “I began creating comics in earnest when I dropped out of academic philosophy due to anxiety. I wanted a way to talk about morality - what doing the right thing consists of, and why we don't always do it - that was more accessible, had a wider reach, and was more likely to connect with people emotionally; in my drawings, I've found just that.”

    Yeah, most dogs. One of mine, if I sneeze, he is stares into my soul to find the devil. If my partner sneezes, he races across the house barking like he is chasing the hounds of hell. We love him. He's like a cat dog.

    Henry continued and told us more about his first creations: “The initial inspiration for drawing animals and objects was my dog, Billie, who was always with me and had such personality and warmth. Ideas delivered by animals act a bit like a Trojan Horse, people let their guard down due to cuteness, and then wham! I confront them with their complicity in violent forms of structural oppression.”

    “I’m a super friendly fur faced doggo, but if you harm my humans, you get the teeth and the claws.”

    Asked about recurring themes and motifs in his cartoon series, the artist answered: “It's nearly all politics. But so is life. Dogs feature most regularly in terms of who the actual characters are. But thematically, I touch on gender, race, colonialism, capitalism, queerness, disability, fatness, and the Israeli genocidal campaign.”

    False equivocation. Caterpillar and butterfly are more akin to child and adult categories and virtually no one disagrees that you inevitably transition from one to another. It's more like the butterfly is saying "I'm a lady bug" and the snail is saying "no you are clearly and obviously a butterfly". That's not phobic it's just a description of reality.

    What functionality is that? Trans women are mentally already women, trans men are mentally already men. And you can change the body to work perfectly fine as the opposit sex. The only difference in functionality is fertility and the ability to breastfeed, but plenty of cis women also can't breastfeed, plenty of cis men and cis women are infertile too. Are they not really women and men n'either, because they lack the functionality of their sex?

    Lastly, we wanted to know how Garrett comes up with ideas for his new illustrations, and we found out: “I ask myself what I'm angry about today. I try to contend with what tragically mistaken habit of thought has allowed a group of humans, all of whom I believe to be capable of courageous kindness and atrocious cruelty under the right circumstances, to head down that latter path. My comics are of course sardonic (and some might even say, glib) but I do hope to take seriously the harms I'm commenting on, and the material factors that motivate the ruling class, and those fighting for liberation.”

    The artist mentioned he hopes that in some way, his work is inspiring and plays a role in pointing the way to greater solidarity: “The drawings can be this kind of motivational, reassuring, connection-building, and argumentative-strategy-providing resources at their best and that function makes me ecstatic to be doing this work.”

    I think the problem is that the US system is rigged- the super rich and huge corporations don’t have to contribute almost anything at all to society in terms of paying taxes, but they’ve figured out how to make tons of money to add to their already massive bank accounts. This system of the wealthy getting more and more money doesn’t depend on how many poor people there are. The rich will get richer regardless..

    Doesn't even have to be a fetus. Any kind of procedure to remove an unwanted growth in there, like a tumor, can still be counted as an "abortion" by that state's laws and still be outlawed. Even if removing it could save that person's life, and the procedure doesn't even involve a fetus whatsoever. All thanks to politicians that don't know jack about medical procedures.

    Being alive and being a human being are two completely different things. Pieces of tissue can be alive outside the body if connected to medical apparatus, and individual cells are alive, even in a lab. Neither are ‘people’. You can take a bunch of heart tissue cells, look at them in a microscope and see them pulsate- it doesn’t mean that what you’re looking at is ‘a heart’, that’s just what heart cells do (the heart pumps blood- for something to be a heart it needs a circulatory system- so much for the ‘heartbeat laws’). Not even the Bible sees a fetus as separate from the mother’s body, states that life begins at birth and actually includes an instruction manual on how to *preform* an abortion.

    Just because cruel or callous words are true doesn’t mean they have to be spoken.

    I once found a shell and dropped it in a tide pool because I noticed a hermit crab with a broken shell, and I accidentally started a whole shell changing chain. It was really cool to watch.

    It's incredible! I once stayed in a place where hermit crabs would come to the patio at night looking for crumbs. The hierarchy of hermit crabs is fascinating. I found an empty shell in a parking lot and put it on the patio where I could watch if they went for it. I too witnessed the conga-line chain of shell swapping. They are so cool.

    For all of the men out there: this is about the right for a woman to give up her child. To allow someone else to raise the baby, give it a better life because she cannot. It is a woman’s ultimate sacrifice.

    For the people of the world that don’t belong to the privileged groups, there are doors that are closed in life and that you constantly have to push open in order to pass through. Some of those doors are permanently locked. For the privileged people, the doors are always open, and they can pass through their lives not even noticing the doors exist. The utter arrogance lies in not considering the situations of others, and not listening when they tell you.

    The point is that “good” and “bad” are never complete descriptions of a person. We’re all more complicated than that. One may be more “good” or more “bad”, but nobody is perfectly “good” or perfectly “bad”. Even the worst offenders in history had some pleasant traits, because otherwise they would have never reached adulthood.

    That's disingenuous. Not least as I thought male sexual predators are supposed to be vilified for life!

    Are you actually trying to defend sexual predators?!? While I do believe that no one is entirely evil or entirely good, I acknowledge that there is a tipping point beyond which a person must be kept out of society for the safety of society. This includes sexual predators, terrorists, murderers, and others dominated by hatred and destruction.

    Yeah. Urinate all over your food and drop turds in the kitchen before the mouse even arrives. Then see how the tables turn.

    I’m sure the tens of thousands incarcerated for years over minor d**g offenses would love the opportunity.
