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."
My cats want me up one to two hours before dawn.. I need one of these! Lol
For those of you who are still single, forget what books, movies, and TV shows tell you love is like, because it’s all lies. THIS is marriage. There will come a time when your spouse will come to you and ask you to examine parts of them that they can’t see themselves, because they think something might be wrong there. 999 times out of 1000, there isn’t—-it’s usually just that they’re getting old and gravity is prevailing, or something along those lines (it’s inevitable in very long term relationships). Or the night before they’re scheduled for surgery, they ask you to give them the enema. And you do it, simply because they asked and you sincerely want to help them. That’s love. The harder, grosser, and way less enjoyable part of love, but still love.
I sat on my face paint brush and spent 10 mins looking for it. Stayed with me into the kitchen where my husband found it!
My son fell asleep on his bedroom floor without his shirt on. When he came downstairs he walked by me and I freaked out. I told him to turn around, expecting the worst. He had a dime stuck to his shoulder blade. I burst out laughing. My only thought was if he made change, it would be the only time I would be happy to see Nickleback!!!

No way. Santa runs the biggest company of the year. Everyone buys Christmas trees, lights, presents, etc. Betcha Santa’s set for life
Sunrise, sunset....quickly flow the days...one season....you get the idea
Why would you want to intervene when you have a cat you can ride on?
the artist has a similar (but distinguishable) style as the far side comics
I was thinking John Caldwell, but they're all somewhat similar. Sidenote: I love this NSFW one from the artists page: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0ehfzvQbK/
