Humorous One-Panel Comics By Ellis Rosen (50 Pics)

Bored Panda reached out to Ellis Rosen, the artist behind these hilarious comics. First, we asked the artist about how he got started with the comics.

"I have always drawn, but I started cartooning in 2016, after a friend of mine suggested I try it. The New Yorker had ‘look days’ where you could come in and show your batch of cartoons to the editor. I loved those, days because you got great feedback and you got to hang out with the other cartoonists while you waited. I was hooked pretty quickly."

We were wondering how the artist came up with the idea of one panel-comics as well as what inspired him to make them.

"I think if a cartoon makes me laugh, it will find an audience to one degree or another. One aspect I love about cartooning is that it makes you start to notice little things in life that many humans can relate to. It’s funny to realize that little occurrences in your life are shared by so many other people. It’s great to see how we are connected."

Besides his comics, Ellis has quite a few other things he works on when he's not working on his cartoons.

"Cartoons are my primary focus, but I do some illustrating and writing as well. I’m trying to write more. I love it."

With that being said, we were curious to find out a little bit more about the artist's schedule and how often he releases new comics.

"I make cartoons every week. I try to keep an alarm in my head, one that’s constantly asking 'Is this a cartoon?' as I go about my life. It reminds me to look out for the common occurrences that become great cartoon fodder. I write them down in my notes app, and later I’ll go through them, and start to sketch out ideas. If I’m lucky, a joke will fall into place."
