During a past chat (mentioned in previous posts) with Bored Panda, Elliott gave us a glimpse into his comic creating journey. "Comics became a part of my life a few years back. A corporate middle manager of minimal significance, I was someone who got mundane with age. Dogs on the 4th was my much-needed creative breather. My initial strips found birth alongside corporate notes during business meetings, with the intent to refine them later, which almost never happened. Gradually, my phone and finger (now a stylus) took charge of my cartoon sketches, and I've been more regular in producing content ever since," he shared.

What drives Elliott primarily is his desire to add a touch of laughter to people's lives: "It's a win for me when I hear that my comics helped brighten someone's day. The positive feedback I've received has been a huge motivation for me to continue. Engaging with my readers is something I prioritize, and truth be told, they're a significant reason I enjoy doing this. My odd content magnetizes equally quirky individuals, and I've had the pleasure of encountering some truly fascinating people!"

When asked about the prime purpose of his illustrations in a recent interaction, Elliott responded, "The ultimate aim of my illustrations is to spotlight the absurdity of life amidst a rapidly evolving social scene. And, of course, poop jokes."

Elliott then delved into the more challenging aspect of his comic creation: "My biggest struggle lies in finding the time to generate content. Between professional commitments, family, and mundane chores like renewing car registrations, life often throws a wrench in the gears of planned humor."

"I try my hand at nearly every subject. But I tend to stay away from trending topics as by the time I get to illustrating them, the joke's usually been cracked a hundred times over. It's refreshing to know that I could be the only one sketching a comic about cloud copulation or killer mice on a particular day."
