If you enjoy absurdity, you are going to love Daniel's Danby Draws comics!
Since the pandemic, which is when Daniel Murrell started sharing his comics with a wider audience, his Instagram has already generated over 17K followers, and rightfully so. Danby Draws will always get you by surprise with unique and unexpected storylines and endings, always keeping it fresh and exciting.
Bored Panda reached out to Daniel to catch up with the artist and his perspectives on his artwork today. He shared what message he hopes people take away from his artwork: "The main goal of Danby Draws Comics is to make beautiful comics that make people happy. Lately, I can get a little sassy with my punchlines, but generally, I want to focus on making comics for everybody to enjoy. I feel like I’ve succeeded if I create something that surprises me and takes my readers along for the same ride."
So without further ado, we invite you to giggle over these comics and read the rest of the interview with Daniel below.

Fun fact: there a guy who actually got funded to go to space by flat earthers "to proove earth to be flat" though his test ship exploded with him before he could go.
The last time we got in touch with the artist was in 2021 when Daniel’s first comic post was published. Since then, we wanted to know if there were any changes in his creative process or anything in particular.
Daniel shared: “Lately I feel like I’ve become better attuned to what kind of comics are going to get a good reaction, but I can still miss sometimes. Also, you get a lot more ideas that fall to the wayside because they don’t quite feel good enough. Occasionally, I’ll keep an idea around for a few months until I find the right way to make it work.”
He continued: “Artistically, I have been trying to use more vivid colors so the comics stand out more. I’m hoping that this develops into a recognizable style that people will hopefully pick up on. Also, it’s more fun to be looser with color and less strict about getting everything looking realistic.”

Every artist goes through some sort of challenge, whether it’s a creative block, consistency, or anything in between. Daniel shared what he has been dealing with: “The hardest challenge for me is getting myself to post on social media consistently. I’m pretty good at maintaining my schedule for my website, but I still get nervous about posting my work on social media even though I’ve done it hundreds of times. Even though I don’t receive many negative comments, the stress about how well they’ll be received is still something I grapple with.”
“I often have to remind myself that I do make good stuff that people enjoy seeing, and my work is worth sharing, And even if I take a break from social media here and there, that’s okay too.”

Violence is never the answer. Violence is a question, and the answer is yes.
With a scratch scratch here and a scratch scratch there, here a scratch and there a scratch every where a scratch.
Among the comics Daniel created thus far, we asked whether he has a favorite one.
“My favorite comic is likely 'A Perfect Shot' which chronicles a light particle as it travels to Earth from a distant star. That comic exemplifies the kind of visual poetry you can get from a handful of panels while still landing with a satisfying level of wordplay.
That comic is probably my first to get a large reaction in many places on social media, and I’ll always be grateful for everybody sharing their thoughts about the comic and showing their support.”
Actually, I still have hectic work dreams, and the premise is the sweaty same...without galactic dimension (probably for the best).
Maby the photon exists all along its past simultaneously, in the photon perspective. And thus can aim really well? But then again, sometimes I think I understand quantum stuff, sometimes not at all, and the rest of the times everywhere in between.
Lastly, looking ahead, we asked Daniel about exciting plans or projects that his fans and followers can anticipate from him in the future.“Right now, I’m looking into making longer comics, and I’m hoping to find the time to make that happen. There are a lot of great stories you can tell if you give yourself more panels to work with, but it can also be pretty daunting,” shared Daniel.
Turns out it was a misprint, it should have said, "...never after"
Just do a reboot? A different universe? I'm thinking spiderman or so?
Load More Replies...This is the contradiction in pretty much all serial stories, you either have to resign yourself to the fact that the protagonist(s) will never reach a satisfactory conclusion or accept that your show must come to an end. I prefer the latter, the former usually ends up with an ever waning (and less believable) storyline or/and the story being left in limbo when the series is cancelled.
Yeah, indeed. So little creativity. It's not like it includes a function that lets people build anything they want. How uncreative. /s.

How about "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel remade for about the three thousandth time.

I am so joyous to feel those songs,still! Hell! I would never give away those happy/sad/triumphant songs for anything!
A new local radio station had a 1hr slot in the afternoons called: "The Oldies Hour." No problem, I loved hearing some great songs from the past. 10 years ago, they played songs I listened to AT SCHOOL. 🥺🥺😢😭😭😭😭💔
Me, every Saturday, listening to 80s and 90s music to make housework less boring... every song is a memory! 😍

he sang a song about wishing his fathers death so technically Disney stuck to the program
Load More Replies...I know it might be an unpopular opinion, but I think that "Lion King" ist the worst adaptation of Shakespeares "Hamlet" that ever graced the earth. Also its imagery draws heavily from the aesthetics of Leni Riefenstahl's propaganda movie "Triumph of the Will" and the japanese 60's tv series "Kimba, the white Lion". Disney also shamelessly stole from themselves (The "Hakuna Matata" scene is heavily inspired by Mowgli's dance in "The Jungle Book"), even with some biblical references (think Joseph and his brothers) thrown in for good measure. Nothing original in it, really.
Not true! In the original release, at 31 minutes, 17 seconds and 10 frames in the lower right corner about 5% from the edge of the frame is a pixel with color #44A56G, truly original.

I just thought of a joke my best friend gave me: If bed bugs come from beds, where do cockroaches come from? Sorry, my friend has very sus humour.
