“I Think Everyone Loves Cats”: 28 Adorable Comics By Rob Van Barneveld (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistRob van Barneveld is a talented illustrator and comic artist from the Netherlands. If you love cute cats and feel-good moments, you're in for a treat. Rob's wordless comics series, Pussloose, takes you on charming adventures with an adorable cat living its best life.
The artist started his drawing career in 2016, taking a leap into freelance illustration. Pussloose has become a hit, and when asked about its success, Rob shared, "I think everyone loves cats... Also, my comics are textless, so every age and every nationality understands them."
Rob's muse? His own cat, Hobbes, a stubborn and lazy character that inspires the captivating comics. So, buckle up for more adventures with Pussloose, and as Rob says, "Thanks for all the support and awesome messages! Please keep reading my crazy comics."

We're always helpful. Why, just yesterday our soft can-opener was looking for her new deodorant in the shopping, so I knocked it off the table for her. Is it my fault she stepped on it and broke it?
Once I was cutting out a piece of carpet for my entrance, and she stuck her paw out to help (holding it I assume). I managed not to cut her paw off, but it was a close call.
Rob kicked off his drawing journey in 2016, always busy sketching comics. When he hit 30, he decided to explore the life of a freelance illustrator. So, he took a chance, jumped right in, and look where he is now!
Now, this one is us. Why should we move to the beat of some ridiculous soft can-opener? No hiding on the moon. No getting on the counters. It's nonsense! Our moon, our counters.
Our soft can-opener thinks this one is adorable. We want to know why that cat's soft can-opener forced it outside in the WET. This is obviously extreme abuse. Speaking of abuse, our food bowls are empty! Well, other than the kibble overflowing them, but that doesn't count. Audi and I are starving to death!
Creativity is a fascinating journey that everyone experiences in different ways. But, there are some tricky parts along with the good stuff. Bored Panda caught up with Rob again to delve into his creative journey. We were curious about the hurdles he faces in the creative process. Rob opened up about the difficulty of coming up with ideas that are not only enjoyable to draw but also resonate with others.
For situations like this, we need couches where you can grab one end, pull, and they extend out longer to add space for more people.
I like that idea for dogs as well. Or cats and dogs. Or cats, dogs and kids. Or ...

We disapprove of this. No bug is going to carry us away! We are mighty hunters! *presents the soft can-openers with a dead mousie toy as proof*
Navigating through creative burnout is a common challenge for many artists. So, we asked Rob how he deals with creative burnout and what he does to recharge when he needs a break from his art. Rob responded candidly, saying, "Taking the time. Going for walks. Reading books. And, of course, crying in a corner and pitying myself for having to be creative."
Finally! A soft can-opener that will stop when we're done.
Some cats just like to watch what the humans are doing. Disturbing though.

Don’t give yourself so much pressure or follow art rules. Just draw and make things that make you happy. In a while, that will make others happy, too."
Now to go share with the soft can-opener. Maybe on the living room rug.
See how fierce we are? A few biscuits, and the monster's running.
How was the epiglottitis not attacked like dangling string?! Also I thought that was a hairball at first 🤣
Somewhere, there's a gardener wondering what happened to his re-sodding job.
We are proud of our ability to repurpose things.

It's important not to get in the WET, no matter how imminent the nap.
WET is bad. But if the soft can-opener succumbs, you have to up and train a new one.
I wish people worked this way. Easy to tell who you need to be careful / quiet around since they haven't had their caffeine yet.
A friend of mine once said anyone who could figure out how to make every sip of coffee taste as good as the first one of the day would be rich.
Coffee is like being petted by an adequate soft can-opener.
Tails are fun, as long as your brother doesn't keep pouncing it while you're napping.
Oh I don't know, I think I'd rather be scooping flowers out of the litter tray
