A pat pat on the back or the head has always been my go-to reaction whenever I need to comfort somebody, as I can't always find the right words to express myself. I thought a superhero that would just be comforting to the world and would have the pat as a superpower would be a fun character to create. So I put him in situations a superhero might encounter but also in everyday relatable situations. Being a big fan of puns, I thought I'd give a little twist to existing comic titles so they fit with the jokes. And it kind of worked perfectly.

If you saw my other posts on Bored Panda (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here), you probably noticed that I usually create one-panel illustrations. However, I actually find that creating three of four-panel illustrations is sometimes less challenging than the single-panel ones, as it can make it a little easier to get the ideas and the jokes across.
The part of the creative process I enjoyed the most with this project was looking for all the ways a pat can be used, and combining it with a punny title.

The inspiration for the comics mostly came from everyday life situations and also from the way I would approach these situations if it was up to me. Like Patman, I have a tendency to walk away from conflict, and I also enjoy a little bit of silliness in my life.
As for the continuation, I have a few more ideas in the works, and hopefully, more will come in the future!

I put together all my Patman strips and self-published a small comic book of his adventures. It's a very small first run, but if all goes well I might print more in the coming months. It's composed of 19 comics, and it can be found in my Etsy shop!
