Our next question delved into how Mary creates humor in her work. The cartoonist shared: “I think people have always been able to relate to the way I handle life’s challenges through humor. I just tell my story in my perspective and people have seemed to connect with me.”
Murzz also shared with us some insights about other comic artists whose work and style she admires: “When I was brainstorming Murrz, I wanted to tell my story in a style I loved growing up, inspired by shows like Crayon Shin-Chan, The Sound of Your Heart, and Hamtaro.”
Lastly, we asked Mary which specific strip she has created so far stands out as her personal favorite. She responded: “Yes, my personal favorite has been the one I drew about my parents’ journey as immigrants and in raising us in America.”
