]]>Ferdon produced a number of comic series in recent years, employing different styles and covering various subjects. However, his most popular works remain simplistic single-panel comics that have little or no dialog at all.
Mostly black and white, these comics cover a range of funny subjects, protagonists, and situations. This is why sometimes the underlining joke won’t always be obvious, but when it hits, it hits hard.
“I like how simple and direct humor is in the cartoon world,” explains Ferdon. “Humor without words is not always understood, but when you connect with the reader, it is great.
Ferdon is a graphical designer by profession. Besides making his funny comics, which he shares on his social media, the Chilean artist is also engaged in various other projects. He has published a couple of humorous books so far and is currently part of the creative team behind several magazines/fanzines, including Don Serapio Magazine and La Faena Magazine.

]]>The post Maria Qamar’s Pop Art Really Pops! appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Case in point: Maria Qamar’s pop art. Inspired by pop art’s wonder boy, Roy Lichtenstein, Qamar adopts comic book iconography to create dramatic portraits of South Asian people that communicate between them through snappy dialogue bubbles.
A first-generation Canadian, Qamar’s mother is Indian and her father is Bangladeshi. The family moved to Canada when she was nine, and Qamar openly talks about the hardships of being an immigrant, which included enduring constant bullying and racism.
Her work is first and foremost aimed at a South Asian audience and is meant to resonate with the Desi community at large, particularly the second generation. “I’m neither here nor there,” said Qamar in an interview with the Cut, relaying her experience as a South Asian millennial. “I’m not either Desi or Western, I’m both.”
This duality is present by her choice of medium, which is influenced by the art of Roy Lichtenstein as well as Indian soap operas. “I’m an extremely emotional person,” says Qamar. “It’s why I gravitate so much towards Indian soap operas. The tears and the crying and the drama in my work is also inspired by Roy Lichtenstein.”

]]>Many of you will also find some of the Half Full comics to be familiar. This is because you’ve probably seen a couple before. The laugh-out-loud series has been featured in various publications before and can be found in daily newspapers across the country as a result of syndication.
Half Full comics have been a huge success. They spent the past eight years in syndication and reached more than 2900 entries. The series might end up seeing at least that much more since Scrivan isn’t afraid she will run out of joke ideas.
“I think the world is in a really funny place right now with our obsession with technology, fascination with celebrities, and the endless stream of over-the-top reality TV Shows,” she explained in a chat with Lidea Magazine. “The good news is there is an endless source of the material.”
Besides her work on Half Full, Scrivan is also known as the author of Nat Enough series of graphic novels. Four books, which have been translated into eight languages, have been published to date, with the fifth one being in the works.

]]>“Sometimes I think with autobiographical work, ‘Oh, this is just something that happened to me and no one else will care,’” she relayed in an interview with Shrill Society. “But I really like reading autobiographical work, and that’s what I connect to. So I try to keep that in mind that the personal is universal. If you tell something really personal and focus on the feelings of it, then other people can relate to it.”
Her illustrations aren’t meant to look realistic. Loose and quirky, their wonkiness adds to their humoristic edge. And much like her characters, her stories are meant to be taken lightly (though most often than not, they address serious issues).
A common theme throughout her work seems to be the hardships of growing up. “I have a lot of stories in my head of growing up,” says Abeln. “Once I started making comics, I found they were the perfect way to get the stories all out and release them. I don’t want to forget them and forget how I felt.”
“When I think about memorable autobiographical experiences, the growing up years are what stand out the most to me because I think being a teenager is the craziest transition period that people go through,” she adds. “Every year of being a teenager feels like five years in terms of growth compared to the rest of your life. It’s a chaotic and exciting time.”

]]>If the name didn’t say it all, the comics feature stick figures that were inspired by the ones shown on public restroom doors and the lack of artistic ability makes them all the more relatable. The illustrations tell the story of Breakwell’s life living with his wife and four daughters.
“Everybody’s kids are weird and my comics celebrate that,” Breakwell told Bored Panda, continuing that “anyone who says they have normal children is lying.”
The father said that his girls aren’t impressed with his work and that they know which figures represent each of them. His wife even checks his social media feeds to see “what new shame I’ve brought on our family.”
Breakwell admits that he doesn’t spend much time drawing, instead, he uses the time to come up with jokes which means paying attention to what’s happening around him in his house at the time that he’s drawing.
He’s even released a new children’s book titled Prance Like No One’s Watching, A Guided Journal for Exploding Unicorns, which teaches kids to find inspiration in their everyday lives and to turn it into comics or jokes.
