This time around, Bored Panda reached out to Paul with some new questions regarding his upcoming works.
"I’m working on a comic explaining Suzanne’s origin story. It starts in a nursing home where every resident is basically bored to death, playing bingo, card games, and watching The Price is Right. Suzanne realizes that life is short, and that it’s even shorter when you’re 80 years old. She starts living like there’s no tomorrow, because it’s never too late to have some fun!"

Artists go through a few art phases trying to find the art style they could call their own, and for Paul, it is likely the same.
"I would like to see Suzanne made out of polymer clay (looks like modeling clay for kids, it becomes hard as a rock after you put it in the oven), like an actual sculpture. I have watched some tutorials on how to do it, but I’m not good enough at the moment to have satisfying results."
Starting out with comics (or art in general) isn't easy, so we asked the artist if he had any tips to share for those who might be starting out.
"Be simple. I’ve never seen a 'too simple' comic. The simpler the better. Simplicity is hard to achieve because your thoughts are complex. Get rid of everything, keep the essentials, and it’ll be okay."
With all of that being said, when it comes to people looking at his comics, Paul has only one thing to say, "Don’t take yourself too seriously. The world is full of serious people."
Most artists usually create art in order to accomplish something, therefore we were wondering if the artist perhaps felt the same in some type of way.
"I want to make people laugh for a few seconds when they’re having a hard day. I once received a message on Instagram from a woman who said she had been depressed for years and that every time I post a new comic, it makes her day more bearable. This is why I do comics."
After seeing flies, well, fly straight to a window, I quickly open the window to let them out. I probably let some in at the same time, and so the process repeats
Paul has been in the comic scene for quite some time now so we were curious whether he had any comments from his followers that might've particularly stood out.
"I love when people say they would enjoy hanging out with Suzanne in real life. Since she’s based on my actual grandmother, it reminds me of her and the good moments we had together when I was a kid."
Lastly, we wanted to know what kind of hobbies the artist has aside from making comics, and here's what he shared with us, "I read. I watch movies. I hang out in bars. You might see me in a karaoke bar at 4 AM singing Céline Dion with all my heart. I also love board games and designed a few to play with friends. Maybe I’ll find a way to publish them someday, who knows."
