A few weeks ago, I posted a collection of my single-panel comic "Eyewash" and many of you seemed to enjoy them. Well, there's plenty more where those came from!

You can read them all on the Eyewash website or my Instagram page. Also, make sure to check out my previous post on Bored Panda by clicking here.

If I have any money left towards the end of my life I'm tempted to have whoever speaks about my passing to hold a contest. The person who can come up with the most horrific but still reasonably believable story about me wins the cash!

Mum asked if we wanted to say something at our dad's funereal. "Can we be truthful?" "No" None of us said anything.

I'd like to say that the deceased was a loving, caring man. But I'm just not that good a liar.

For the past 45 years or so my friends and I have made a running contest of one upmanship. We try to top each other with puns and good natured insults. It didn't stop at my wedding; I hope that it doesn't end at my funeral.

I really wish more people would be like this. Sitting around and listening to people praise disgusting people because "one doesn't speak I'll of the dead" does no good to the living. Meanwhile the opposite is also true, waiting until somebody is gone before saying the nice things, and never saying them to the person directly. The belief in the afterlife and the supposed punishment/reward system has really warped humanity's view of the here and now. Don't waste time folks.

Years ago, I teamed up with a buddy to create some comics loosely based on our lives and our friends. It was more of a traditional three-panel comic than “Eyewash” and had a group of recurring characters. When I decided to start my own comic, however, I changed the format to match my preference for single-panel comics (like my all-time favorite, “The Far Side”).

I've tried reading between the lines in all of my books, but it's just white space there. Now I see how you're really supposed to do it.

I soon realized it was a much bigger challenge to come up with a brand-new premise each day. There were no catchphrases or continuing narratives I could tap into … each panel had to stand on its own. On one hand, that makes it more difficult to come up with new gags. On the other hand, it gives me a lot more freedom to draw whatever I want. “Eyewash” is a boundless universe that includes the bizarre, the mundane, and everything in between.

They've the skinniest twigs for arms. How are they holding up those books? Which were probably made up of distant relatives. Don't they know their roots?

I realize that the absurd nature of some of these comics isn’t for everyone, but I’m always humbled by those who let me know something I’ve created has brightened their day a little. Sure, I could probably make more traditional stuff with wider appeal, and maybe that would attract more followers on social media. But this started out as a fun hobby — and if it ever becomes a chore or something that I’m only doing to gain likes and comments online, then I think I’d be better off just calling it quits.

Of course, I’d love to reach a bigger audience and turn this side project into my main job (what artist wouldn’t?), but until then I just have to fit cartooning into my spare time. That’s where it can get tricky since my comics cover such a broad range of topics. I’ve had to learn how to draw a wide variety of people, places, and things over the course of more than 200 comics so far, and some of them are much more challenging than others. I can come up with a silly version of a mouse or a chicken without much trouble, but when I need to draw something that looks realistic I often have to spend a lot more time on the artwork. This has been the case with a few comics, including one in which I drew a map of the United States and another that included the entire solar system. These had to be instantly recognizable in order for the punchlines to land, so there wasn’t any room for error … and believe me, my drawings are known to have plenty of errors!

But in the end, I don’t fret too much over a stray line or a punchline that I should have phrased differently. I have redrawn some of my earliest comics just to make them a bit more legible, but they’re all a reflection of my own warped sense of humor — for better or worse. Some come from weird jokes I tell my son, others are sparked by a random pun that pops into my head while I’m driving around town. Wherever they come from, if there seems to be the seed of a joke in there somewhere you can bet that it’ll become an “Eyewash” panel sooner or later.

The trick is to write a shít ton of stuff you want on a notebook and then tell the genie you want everything on it to come true, technically it'll just be one wish!

Not far off the mark, actually. I've seen hawks sit on phone poles where road kill often occurs.
