Witty and Absurd Comics

Canadian illustrator, Joseph Nowak specializes in drawing single-panel comics that often feature surreal and funny (and sometimes even mildly disturbing to a degree) situations. 

The artist has been drawing comics since 2012 and his creative ideas have gained him over 12.6K followers on Instagram as Joseph says he “just likes silly stuff” when describing what he does on his social media platforms.








Being an artist is not easy, one can easily encounter a lack of inspiration, etc – and so, the artist was asked about his ideas for the comics. 

His response: "Sometimes when I space out (which can occur often) I hear a particular word which can trigger a joke idea. Other times for practice, I will ponder an object or a situation (ones where I am convinced a joke can be found) long enough until I can picture a corresponding visual gag". 

Methinks, it works for me too!
