Bored Panda spoke to Catana in order to find out how Catana Comics and the artist herself have transformed throughout the years. “Many things have changed since we began the comics! We've moved, had job changes, we've grown, and our relationship matured.” One thing surely stayed the same: “We love each other and have fun with each other every day.”

The artist feels that her drawing style has evolved quite a bit since her boyfriend published her work online in 2016. “As with many artists, as you draw, your style changes and you almost don't realize until you look back. I'm very happy with how the style looks presently and feel it's been consistent for a while now.” And it’s not only style that has evolved—Catana feels like she has matured. “My attitude towards life has also changed, as I think is inevitable as you get older. I've definitely matured (well... somewhat) and I'm happy with who I've become.”

When it comes to love, the little things are what really matter, and Catana believes that everyone should have more fun in a relationship. “I feel like in movies and media, relationships can always be so serious and sexy.” She adds, “There should definitely be some of that in there, but I think the fun, friendly, laughing on the floor, eating cereal together at 2 am moments should play a big part as well.”

The artist thinks that Catana Comics got so popular because it reveals how much we all have in common. “We often find that two people oceans apart, at very different ages, different languages, different lives, can both find something about the comics that speak to them.” In the end, “we’re all a little quirky, goofy, silly, and lovely.” We can’t agree more!
