A loving relationship and 4 cats? Umm, yes please! Although, while some of us are just waiting for this dream to come true, some lighthearted comics about it will do as well. Sarah Graley is a British cartoonist with an audience of almost 700K Instagram followers who love the way she illustrates her and her fiance’s life.

The creator has been featured on Bored Panda before: part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4. Scroll down to see the newest additions to her amazing comics!

“Our Super Adventure comics probably take around an hour to pencil, another hour to ink and then around the same amount of time for colouring!” the artist says. “My fiancé Stef (co-star and co-writer of the comics!) helps by doing the flat colours and the lettering in the comics too, that's probably about an hour per comic as well? Let's say around four hours total.”

We wondered if Sarah has any unusual techniques or quirks while creating. She said: “for Our Super Adventure, I'm usually noting down little ideas quickly when they happen! Because the comics are autobiographical, I'm constantly reaching for the nearest sketchbook to write something down so I don't forget it! I end up with little collections of tiny scrappy versions of the comics which are always fun to look back on.

One unusual technique I have is that I like to sketch out the pencils for my comics on my Cintiq (a big desk-mounted drawing tablet) but I like to do my final inked artwork on an iPad instead!”

As for dealing with creative blocks, Sarah says: “Luckily with Our Super Adventure being about my real life with Stef and our four cats, there's always something going on in our house! I get a lot of inspiration from them all - it's rarely boring with four cats! They're constantly changing allegiances and causing drama!

In terms of creative block, I think the best thing to do when that happens is to jump into experiencing art made by other people! Reading comics, watching movies and TV shows or playing video games - all of these things can be really inspiring and you never know what will start to excite your creative brain again. Also - going for a big walk is also a super nice thing to do to clear your head!”

SO TRUE (if you start petting one cat for too long, another one comes and starts staring jealously); this needs to be higher

When asked about future plans, the talented artist told us: “I love making comics and putting out books - we definitely want to make a fourth Our Super Adventure collection in the next year or so! Apart from that, we've always got secret projects on the go! We do a lot of comics with publishers and we usually can't talk about them until they're officially announced!”

I also have a longhaired black cat, he prefers to sunbathe. Though I guess the temperatures are different, Sweden is sometimes too warm for me in summer, but I know that it's nothing compared to further south.

Yes sir that’s my older pit bull. Pit bulls do have lighter fur but when it’s like 100 degrees she just lays down on a flaming hot wooden porch and just stares at the grass and i have no fur on me so when I look at my dog doing that i’am like 👁👄👁
