Dear Pandas, we think we know you quite well by now. We always want to make you laugh with our humorous comic series. Well, it’s that kind of day again today! Later on, you can thank us in the comments section below!
Do you remember Cameron Spires’ “Goat to Self”? Yes, he has returned to Bored Panda with even more hilarious jokes that make us laugh. As previously mentioned by the author, “In my comics, things tend to go terribly wrong, either because of a misunderstanding of words or motives.” Is it the aspect of Cameron’s work that you find most humorous? Without further ado, let’s examine his most recent strips! There are so many reasons to enjoy his comics!
1.
We got in touch with the author of the humorous comic series once more to learn more about it. We questioned Cameron about his approach to strip rhythm in order to make sure it flows naturally, as we knew that the 4-panel format frequently depends on exact time to deliver a punchline. In response, the artist said, “I truly enjoy working inside the four-panel arrangement. It makes you more succinct, in my opinion. There’s hardly enough time to establish a standard and then surpass it. The joke’s cadence is guaranteed by those restrictions alone!

We then wanted to know if Spires liked to revisit any jokes or visual hints in his comics. We were particularly interested in learning how the cartoonist keeps them fresh to prevent monotony. We discovered that: Excellent query. The pun must be the cause. Although it sounds different, it’s one thing. I won’t exactly avoid them these days, but I do have a rule that the pun can’t be the only joke. There must be an additional comedy or humorous button on the pun. For instance, in one of my comics, the guy understands he’s in a comic, so he knows it’s going to be funny when a “bath bomb” is used literally.

To maintain consistency in creating new work, many artists adhere to creative routines. We wanted to know if Cameron took a similar tack. “I wish I had time for that,” he said to us. I do comics in my spare time, but my full-time job is in advertising, and I have a couple of kids. I find that doing small tasks gradually helps avoid having to dedicate an hour to sitting down. I simply spend a few minutes each day for a few days tweaking on one comic.

Finally, we wanted to know whether there were any specific comics or characters that gained popularity among fans in unexpected ways for Spires. “James” in my “Did you eat s**t in the driveway” comic got far more popular than I imagined, the artist shared with us. It is a comic that people tell me is their favourite all the time. There is something about his look that makes people happy.
