Paul Woods is back on Bored Panda with his fantastic single-panel comics. The artist is known for his humorous illustrations, using only small dialogues, making the series simplistic yet impossible not to laugh at. When it comes to characters featured in Woodsy’s cartoons, they are mostly animals, sometimes humans, and other things that come to life thanks to the author of 'Insert Brain Here.'

As you might remember, this comic artist hails from Melbourne, Australia, and his works are printed regularly in newspapers across the country. During our last interview, Paul shared with us: “The most rewarding aspect for me is seeing my work published in a newspaper or magazine. I’m a child of the '80s and grew up reading comics in the newspaper so to see my work in print is fantastic.”

Scroll down to see the list of the most recent strips by the artist, and let us know in the comment section which one made your day. Enjoy!

Bored Panda reached out to the artist from Australia once again to ask him some questions about his recent work. First, we wanted to know what Paul’s favorite moment or element of the comic creation process is, from conceptualization to the final product. He told us: “My favorite part is definitely the initial concept, I will often be doing something completely different and not thinking about comics at all and a joke will come to me.”

The artist continued: “I will try and draw out a rough sketch on any paper I can get my hands on, sometimes napkins, envelopes or on newspaper, then later draw it again properly on art paper. I also write a lot of notes to myself on my phone with ideas or dialogue.”

Asked about his favorite tools or software used for creating “Insert Brain Here” comics, Paul Woods answered: “I always use pencil to draw the comic on paper. I don't use a tablet. I will then trace it using an art pen, then scan it into Photoshop. I'll add the color, shading, text, etc. I'm pretty old school with my comics. I've used the same process for nearly 15 years.”

We were also wondering if Paul could describe a pivotal moment or experience that significantly impacted his growth as a comic artist. He shared with us: “It's a small thing, but I remember a friend contacting me saying he was working in a mine in Western Queensland, Australia in a really isolated place. He went into their mess room, a room where they all got coffee and food before heading out on shift. He saw that someone had cut out one of my cartoons from a newspaper and stuck it on the noticeboard because they thought it was funny. When he told me that, I was really happy, you don't have to have your work hanging in the Louvre to make an impact.”

I don't think this doctor knows what they're doing, they didn't even put it back on! He's getting worse every passing second.

They should have been outstanding students receiving awards from the headmaster. Looks like a school of fish to me.

I suppose they can’t because they’re stuck in the cage, and they can only go out if their owner allows them to, so yeah.
