Artist Illustrates Heartwarming Stories That Every Pet Owner Can Relate To (7 New Stories)

Interview With Artist

Brazilian artist Ademar Vieira continues to explore the relatable adventures of characters Sam & Oscar… and Edgar the cat. Ademar is a great storyteller who perfectly describes the joys and the struggles every dog and/or cat parent experiences in wordless comics.

The artist himself used to have pets, and this inspired his comic series. Ademar wrote: “My work with Sam & Oscar is a tribute to them and to all the joy they brought into my life. If you have a pet and you’ve just read this, give them a pet or a hug right now.”

So, let’s dive into this post and see how pets can change our lives—for worse at times, but more often, for the better forever.

We got in touch with Ademar once again and this time he shared what a typical day is like for him when he’s working on a new comic.

Ademar wrote: “I believe the hardest part of the work is coming up with an idea that fits my format. But after that moment of struggle, I feel really happy when I start placing the new comic strip into the frames. I can’t finish a comic strip in a day, so I usually work on it for one or two hours a day over four or five days until it’s complete.”

Cat shaming

We were wondering whether Ademar has ever scrapped a comic idea after starting it. He responded: “Curiously, no, I haven’t. That’s because of my creative process—I always spend a lot of time analyzing the idea before I start working on it.”

I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
