Given the chance, Bored Panda reached out to the Australian cartoonist with some questions!

When asked, "How did comics come into your life?" Whyatt recalled his early days and explained, "I really got into cartoons in grade 5 when one of my classmates started bringing Mad Magazines to school. I couldn’t believe how good the artwork was. I then became really hooked on cartoons in the 90s when I saw The Far Side for the first time. They were the funniest cartoons I had ever seen. (And they still are!)"

Discussing his creative inspiration, he said, "My only inspiration is my constant need to entertain myself. If I have a blank piece of paper in front of me, I will just start drawing until I find something amusing." He also hinted at his humorous personality in daily life by sharing, "My ten-year-old son recently told me that he was starting to get too mature for my jokes. I think that tells you everything you need to know."

On the topic of his creation process, Tim shared, "I draw rough ideas every day but I never complete any artwork until a joke has been selected by my publishers." The artist also acknowledged his early artistic influences and said, "My father was a graphic artist so I probably inherited some artistic skills from him. I’ve always been able to draw so I find it easy. Thinking of the joke is the hard part."

Regarding his identity and future plans, he maintained his humorous demeanor by joking, "I’m an Australian which means I ride a kangaroo to work. I’m fluent in both English and American. I’m almost as attractive as the characters I draw. I’m working on a new book as we speak."
