REVEALED: Dark humor twisted humor comics brandon bradshaw - The Real Truth

Asked about the recurring themes and motifs in his work, Bradshaw jokingly answered: “I have too much brain rot to really know what themes and motifs are. My comics often are about insecurities, relatable life experiences, or just random jokes.”

We were curious to learn more about Brandon’s creative process. First, we asked him how he comes up with ideas for his new strips. He said: “I struggle to come up with ideas and it usually leads to me giving up on my comic for long periods of time. To get back on track I like to binge read comics that I loved and that inspired me. Once I can feel excited about comics again I tend to come up with ideas easily.”

The artist shared with us his influences in the world of comedy and humor: “I feel most influenced by Shen from Shen Comix and Zach from Extra Fabulous. In all my hobbies I tend to have unhealthy one-sided rivalries and they're mine in webcomics.”

Lastly, the creator of ‘Introverse Comics’ told us what, in his opinion, makes humor an effective medium for storytelling: “In webcomics, I think the accessibility for artists and readers is what makes it so great. The average creator can make a comic in an hour, post it to social media, have it easily shared, and be done with it. Whereas long form comic creators of all genres can create these amazing stories over the course of years but it's difficult to find an audience outside of hardcore webcomic enjoyers.”

Comic artists often rely on spontaneous creativity, but sometimes dark humor requires a strategic approach to storytelling.
