It also gives people a bit of happiness, which is needed, especially when times are tough. For her, it would be hard to take action on serious issues without having some joy in her day. Humor also brings people together and builds connections. Even during tough times in her life, laughter has helped her cope, and in happy moments, it helps her share excitement and bond with others.

“Many of us go into nature to get away from the human world, and that’s okay—it’s good to take a break. But I like to remind people that the ‘natural’ world is closely tied to humans. The animals and plants we see around us are influenced by things like money, history, power, and inequality. We’re deeply connected. We are part of nature, and nature is part of us.

We asked Lynn what led her to become a cartoonist and artist. She shared:

“I worked as an architect for many years before switching careers to become a cartoonist and writer. About six years ago, I started writing humor and collaborating with sketch comedy groups at ImprovBoston. When the theater closed during the pandemic, I turned to cartooning, which I found both relaxing and fun. It let me combine my love for drawing with humor writing. I grew up loving Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson and The Far Side by Gary Larson. I also took several online classes from New Yorker cartoonists, which helped and inspired me a lot.”

Lynn described her approach to cartoons by saying:

“I mainly focus on creating single-panel gag cartoons for The New Yorker. I love the challenge of telling a joke using just an image and a short caption. It’s even more rewarding when I can make people laugh with just a drawing, without needing any words at all.”

“The Bear Trap” comics by Mike Lewis use funny and thoughtful humor to tell stories about two bears, a father and son, and their animal friends. The comics mix everyday life with deeper messages about society. Paul and Rob, the main characters, represent the struggles of working-class people as they try to keep up with a fast-changing world. Their very different personalities lead to funny moments and situations that readers will love. Let’s dive in and see what new adventures Mike has created for these two since the last post!

We asked Mike how his art style has changed over time, and he explained:

“My art is always changing, though I didn’t really notice it at first until I looked back at older work. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it happened, but over time, my characters became more dynamic, less stiff, and I started putting more effort into my backgrounds. One big recent improvement is in my coloring. I’ve been experimenting a lot with colors, especially when showing characters’ emotions. It’s been fun, and I hope it gives readers even more to enjoy in each comic.”

When talking about how readers respond to his comics, Mike said:

“Any feedback makes me happy, whether it’s positive or negative. I see all responses as valuable. Knowing that my comics made someone feel something is useful to me. Even if my comics aren’t your style but you leave a comment, it shows I reached you. Just remember, these comics are meant to highlight the funny side of things.”

We asked Mike if there were any artists who deeply influenced him. He shared a quote from Pablo Picasso: “The world doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?”

Mike also added: “First of all, thank you! You’re the reason I keep creating. If you enjoyed these comics, follow me on Instagram, where I post new comics every week!”

Steven Garza, a professional comedian, started using cartoons to share his jokes. Even though he didn’t know how to draw at first, he worked hard, learning from books and practice. Now, his comics mix humor with storytelling in a unique way.

In his one-panel comics, Steven explores quirky and odd ideas. He often includes characters from his four-panel comic series Fret Buzzed, giving fans a fun surprise if they recognize them.

Bored Panda spoke with Steven to learn more about his creative process. He explained that his time as a stand-up comedian has shaped the way he writes his cartoons. “I’m lucky to know some of the funniest people around, and sometimes I’ll share a joke or idea with a friend to see their reaction. They act as a test audience before I finish the cartoon. Comedians are brutally honest, which can be both helpful and tough.”

Like most artists, Steven faces creative blocks sometimes, but over the years, he’s found a few ways to get through them. “My brain works best when I’m under pressure with a deadline coming up. Something about knowing I have to finish soon helps ideas flow. No matter how hard I try, I’m never more than a week or two ahead of my weekly deadline for a newspaper submission.

I have some tricks for when I get writer’s block. Since I work digitally, I save all my past characters and backgrounds. I can copy and paste them into new situations or poses, which helps spark ideas. My favorite trick is to picture my characters in my head and let them interact. I imagine them having conversations and just watch what happens. Usually, that gives me an idea, and sometimes it even helps me write an entire joke.”

Steven shared that he has a regular routine for making cartoons. “I like to sit on my couch with my iPad and have some eighties or nineties TV shows playing softly in the background. The nostalgia from revisiting my childhood helps inspire me and creates a cozy environment for my work.”

For Steven, his favorite part of making comics is inking the final draft. “It’s really satisfying to ink the final lines and cover the original sketch. I love watching the cartoon come to life as it goes from a simple pencil drawing to a finished piece. Coloring the comic is just as enjoyable because it lets me set the mood. I often use trial and error to choose the final colors. I also think it’s interesting how changing the color palette can completely change the feeling of the joke.”
