Bored Panda got in touch with the cartoonist once again to ask her a few more questions about her series. We were curious to learn how Mary comes up with ideas for her new strips, and here’s what she shared with us: “I get inspired by the experiences in my life! Everything I’ve drawn so far is based on my own experiences, and I think it’s amazing to find out that there are a lot of people who can relate as well.”
When asked about one particular comic that stands out as her personal favorite, Mary, the cartoonist, responded: “Yes! Definitely the bullying one — with the girls that bullied me for being tall. I came back with a killer response, but then I ended up crying my eyes out on the bus. (Moral of the story: never show weakness to your bullies!)”
Next, the creator of the series shared which fellow comic artists have influenced her work: “There are a lot, but someone I really look up to is whatsupbeanie! Not only is she an amazing storytelling artist, but she’s also extremely kind and sweet.”
Lastly, the author of ‘Mary Comics’ shared some upcoming projects she’s excited to work on: “I’m currently working on my very first personal Webtoon called ‘Youniverse: A Cosmic Bond.’ It’s available on Webtoon, and it will have two volumes! After I complete them, I’ll work hard to make it possible for my story to become a graphic novel — so that’s my current goal for the next 2+ years.”
