“You’re a really cool person! Don’t listen to people who say otherwise!”
The artist himself was very blunt by describing his comics as: “super absurd.” And the meaning behind them? Well, as Tim responded to our question regarding what he expects audiences to take away: “Whatever they want”; there is no deeper meaning, but maybe that is exactly why his comics are such a hit.
If you were wondering what it takes to create Elder Cactus comics, Tim shared a bit about his creative process: “Zero distractions, sit in front of a computer for 3 hours. Around hour 2 of extreme boredom, the ideas start trickling in.”Tim also gave a piece of advice to aspiring artists looking to find their unique style or voice in the art world.
“Don’t turn off the negative part of your brain. Positive thinking is good for some things but not refinement,” wrote Tim.

And lastly, Tim added: “I’ve been making a series called Potatomancer with an artist named DailyObstruction, and it’s my first time going from short-form jokes to long-form storytelling. It’s been a ton of fun and I’ll be working on that for the foreseeable future.”

In Stardew Valley, the community center is an abandoned building, and you can restore it if you choose. After starting the restoration quests, the town mayor sniffs you, and says you smell like you've been working on the community center. I mean, how does the mayor just walk up to a person and sniff them?

I love Ender’s Game, it was an amazing book. I didn’t like how they left out the whole forums thing in the movie, or the thing I forgot the name of that was about funerals. Oh well.
