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

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.”

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.”
