38 Simple Comics That Are Humorous And Silly By “Made of Mistake” (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
If you’re looking for something light, fun, and unexpected, you’ve come to the right place! ‘Made of Mistake’ is back on Bored Panda with a fresh batch of comics.
Mike, the creator of the series, told us in our last interview that he initially started making comics simply because “it just seemed like a fun thing to try.” He elaborated: “When reading other people’s comics, I thought to myself, I think I could do that too. So I tried.”
In the end, it’s all about making people laugh—and we can all agree that the cartoonist has a knack for finding humor in absurdity, and even in darker topics. Without further ado, scroll down to discover the latest strips by Mike.

We reached out to the cartoonist behind the series once again, this time to ask a few more questions about his work. One of them was how Mark would describe his comic in just three words. Here’s what we found out: “Sly wry guys. It’s the first thing I thought of. I’d be sad if my comic was easily described.”

Life is not an old Western film - sometimes the guys you think are the baddies, are actual people just like you. I'd say 'human' but hey, bears aren't always bad either ...

The artist also mentioned that sometimes, the strips unexpectedly resonate with his audience, and other times, the reaction is the opposite: “I'm always surprised what is popular or unpopular. The popularity of this comic surprised me.”

'vicarious fatigue' - definitely to be avoided !

We also asked if there are situations when the cartoonist has to abandon an idea he was fond of because it simply didn’t work as a comic. Mike replied: “100s. I have a huge pile of notes of things that seem like good ideas but haven't quite gotten them to work. Some of them I eventually figure out a way to make them into comics. I never know if/when I'll figure out a way to get them to work.”

Finally, the creator of ‘Made of Mistakes’ revealed who his dream collaboration artist would be, should the opportunity ever arise: “Probably someone like ‘The Perry Bible Fellowship’. I really like their varied art style and sense of humor.”

Just because you can't prove that life *isn't* a computer simulation, doesn't prove it *is*. Maybe we're in a box with Schrödinger's cat? "Here puss puss ..."

Nobody wants to think through the details, but lots of people just like action. "We've got to do something, this is something, so we've got to do it" is always a tempting shortcut that gets us totally lost.

Having a YT channel dedicated to create practical fusion reactors would probably become popular too with the right presentation

I'd agree, but I think that the phrase "with the right presentation" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

I prefer to think that the sign should read "Snakes & Ladders" and that there's a snake chasing him. Maybe I should seek help...

Isn't the trolley out of control in the question though to prevent this loophole?

yes. that was the point, if i remember right. because it was supposed to be obvious that 0 deaths was ideal, but this was an exercise where that wasn't an option

I like this concept - just because he has a lever to pull or push, doesn't mean that there isn't a better way of solving the problem. The trolley may be constrained to follow the tracks but we don't have to be

Just a neutral guy ? - A disintegration ray could be used to get rid of trash for example, not having to wait a few hundred years for nuclear waste to become slighlty less dangerous also would be great. Solving such a problem should be rewarded

"Get rid of" vs "Laws of Entropy" - should be a memorable fight !

I'd suggest that he replace the 'biased coin' with a selection of one of a set of dice but, "never say die" ... "Stamp out biased coins ! "

Fun fact: SOS was choosen in 1905 by the german trade navy because it's easy to spell and recognize. It does not stand for "Safe our Ship" or "Safe our Souls" - it was just chosen for being three times "short", 3 times "long" and 3 times "short" again without being an acronym at all

Letters replaced by other letters, probably. E.g. "gung'f" could be "that's."
