Animals Navigating Human-Like Scenarios In Hilarious Comics, By This Artist (65 Pics)
Interview With Artist
Today, we would like to introduce you to Basura, a comic artist creating cartoons about animals that act like humans. The artist herself shared a bit about the premise: "The characters are actually animals on a planet similar to ours that developed the same as Earth. So now you have foxes that drive and pay taxes instead of humans."
The artist explores themes like relationships and friendships and illustrates situations from her own life. These delightful comics full of animal mixed with human humor can become spicy at times, so if you are looking to see the whole spectrum, make sure to visit Basura's social media pages for more.

In an interview with Bored Panda, the artist shared more about how she comes up with the storylines in her comics: “The inspiration for the comics comes from my past relationship with my partner (who has given me the okay) and friends as well. Sometimes I’ll be chatting with friends and have to be like ‘Oh, this is a good comic’. Almost anything goes and friends have asked me to make comics of situations now.”

To be fair it is often harder the first time in a new job when everything is new.
Basura’s animals are very expressive and show a variety of emotions. We asked her to share her process of drawing them.
“I really like cartoons so my facial expressions can be really goofy, I also don’t like to stay ‘on model,’ my characters change from moment to moment and I like that. It helps to also make the facial expression with my face as I draw, acting out emotions really helps get them on paper.”

It's sometimes a good sign for the relationship if each believes in the other, more than each believes in themselves
Basura started her comic series in 2020. We were curious what has been the most rewarding feedback or experience she’s had from the followers.
“I started my comic series during the pandemic when I was really isolated as a way to bond with my partner and also get some frustrations out, the most rewarding thing is that people like my work and actually remember small little Easter eggs and random bits of my work that I might not even remember, that’s really touching! Some followers remembered a character after months of not drawing them. It’s strange what people remember or attach to,” wrote Basura.
Lastly, the artist shared how the environment or culture influences her work and the themes she chooses for the comics.
“I’m LA-based and I have a love-hate relationship with the city, love my friends - hate the drive mentality. I think that it’s made me feel freer about expressing LGBT themes in the comic and bonding with people who like my work IRL, which is great. I think a few comics are very LA-centric, like the one about parking validation. I’m from New Jersey so some themes come up from there too.”

Wind travels. Air diffuses. If you don't want to be influenced by dead people, don't read books.

Doing nothing, regardless of who you’re with is cool unless you have stuff planned… (curses upon my minuscule attention span)

Bee who? Who are we meant to be? Are we our own original selves or pale imitations of originals eons past? Do we have freedom to aspire limitlessly or is that in itself a shackle? In believing we’re free, do we stop ourselves from truly experiencing it? Are we merely the fractured shards of ones who come before us, warped and twisted in order to shadow the original. Can we be free if we believe that we already are?

Nobody's perfect, but it's good to concentrate on your friends' better points and just slide past any problems

Well he did as he was asked, but only that. I believe this is a form og weaponized incompetence.

It seems as if we all become our parents - once we have to face the battles that our parents faced

I hope the werewolf can pay for himself, for it will probably take a lot of food to satisfy him.

Doesn't have quite the same ring now does it. It is way funnier if you actually sing it in your head trying to cram presenting in there as fast possible

I desperately need to know if all of the instances of characters being seen in multiple relationships are at different relationship statuses or if that horse is poly lol

I don't think these are in chronological order... And I think that horse is supposed to be a camel. 😂 😆
