40 Humorous Comics With A Touch Of Darkness
We all need some dark humor from time to time.
Simon Johnson is the creator of the webcomic "Simon Said Comics." Drawing is his passion; alongside his own projects, he illustrates children's books and educational literature. He graduated from university with a degree in animation but disliked the demands of the job.
As a result, he decided to transform his funny stories and ideas into comics. This allowed him to dedicate more time to developing ideas instead of repeatedly drawing the same frames.
Comics have always been his passion since he was a young boy. During his school days, he would create comic books for his friends or fulfill drawing requests instead of doing his schoolwork.
Now, as an adult with facial hair and bills, he utilizes his spare time to create comics. In his childhood, he would watch The Simpsons and attempt to recreate the DVD box set designs using his own characters and stories. He even developed storylines for his own cartoons.
He also purchased comics and found inspiration from popular shows like Futurama, using them as a guide to create his own comics. As he grew older, he temporarily moved away from this hobby until university, when he decided to pursue his passion once again.
This time, he chose to study animation. However, while participating in group work on film projects, he discovered that he enjoyed character and background design more than animating.
Encouraged by his friends, he decided to pursue comics again, which led to the creation of Simon Said Comics. Since then, he has never looked back.
He always reads children's books and online comics to gain inspiration and insight into what others are creating. This helps him develop his own projects and ideas while improving his knowledge of creating appealing content.
It also enhances his understanding of color theory, composition in comics and illustrations, and effective humor for specific audiences. Additionally, it aids him in avoiding the creation of characters and stories that resemble the work of others.

His advice to aspiring artists interested in entering the world of comics is simple: pick up a pencil or stylus and start drawing. He emphasizes that it doesn't matter if your ideas are rough, if they differ from others, or if your story feels incomplete.
The crucial step is to start creating. He believes that an idea will remain just an idea unless you take action to bring it to life. Therefore, he encourages artists not to be held back and to explore different mediums if they find themselves in one they don't enjoy.
He personally switched from animation to comics and illustration without any regrets. He firmly believes that the more you draw and write, the better you become. Thus, he advises against pursuing something you don't enjoy.
