To constantly create something new, artists have unique muses. Rebecca shared what inspired her to create her comics. “My boyfriend and cats are my main muse. I’ve always drawn little cartoons of him doing the silly things he does, and he loves his cartoon self. One day I posted a comic of him, and my friends loved it and told me to make more! So that’s how I started making comics of our life together with our cats.”
Being funny and making people laugh through a few panels of comics is a talent, whether you are born with it or you’ve learned it. Through humor, we can understand a lot about other people and ourselves.
“I hope I can make people laugh! When I was a kid I’d tell jokes to get out of trouble and to make friends. Even if someone seemed way different than me, if I could make them laugh, then I knew we could relate. I used to think I was really funny, but now that I make comics to share with the world, I don’t even know what funny means anymore. It’s like when you say a word so many times that it starts to sound like it’s not a word at all, if that makes sense. I hope people think I’m funny because I try hard at it!” shared Rebecca on humor.
Besides being inspired by situations in her life, Rebecca shared that having a larger audience will boost her confidence in making more. “The more people who appreciate my work, the more inspired I am to create more. I love it when people comment on my comics and tag their friends saying 'this is so you.' Knowing I have real fans makes it much easier to post my heart out into the dark abyss that is the internet.”
So if you enjoy Rebecca’s content, don’t forget to give her a like on her social media.
And lastly, Rebecca added: “It takes me longer to make comics because I like to add lots of details to them like silly posters on the walls or hidden puns. I also like to try to add one or two or all four of my cats in the background (yes, I have four cats, and no, none of them were planned)!”
“Thanks so much for wanting to get to know me!”
