We reached out to Martin Rosner, the artist behind HotPaper Comics to learn more about his journey and creative process. Martin shared the story of how he began creating comics. I started making comics once my depression started getting better. It’s not that the comics helped more that I felt well enough to make them. It just so happened to be at a point in my life when I had enough free time to draw. I saw someone posting a comic a day on Reddit their goal was to do that for 100 days. I thought That’s something I could do too. Once I started, I never really stopped.

We asked Martin Rosner about how he decides what to share with his audience and what to keep more personal. He explained. I create comedy-based comics because that’s what I enjoy reading. Now and then, I’ll have a thought or feeling I want to express. If I think it might help someone feel less alone, I’ll turn it into a comic. It’s also a refreshing change for my readers. I think it’s important not to box yourself in telling yourself what kind of art you can or can’t create.

Reflecting on the impact of social media on his work, Martin shared. Social media influences a lot of how I make comics, especially the format. They’re usually short and easy to understand. Sometimes, I get caught up in numbers and try to chase a trend, but I’m lucky enough to never fully give in to what the numbers dictate.
