We were curious to learn more about Brandon’s creative process, so we asked him how he came up with ideas for his comics. He opened up about the challenges he faces, saying, I struggle to come up with ideas, which often leads me to put my comic on hold for long periods. To get back on track, I binge-read comics that I love and that have inspired me. Once I start getting excited about comics again, the ideas tend to flow more easily.

The artist opened up about his biggest influences in the world of comedy and humor saying I feel most influenced by Shen from Shen Comix and Zach from Extra Fabulous. In all my hobbies, I tend to develop unhealthy one-sided rivalries and those are mine in webcomics. These artists have had a big impact on his style, shaping the unique and often edgy humor he brings to his work.

Finally, the creator of Introverse Comics shared his thoughts on what makes humor such an effective medium for storytelling. He said, In webcomics, I think the accessibility for both artists and readers is what makes it so great. The average creator can make a comic in an hour, post it on social media, have it easily shared, and be done with it. Meanwhile, long-form comic creators can craft incredible stories over the years but it’s harder to find an audience outside of hardcore webcomic fans. His perspective highlights the unique benefits of webcomics in today’s fast-paced, shareable digital world.

When asked about the recurring themes and motifs in his work Bradshaw humorously replied, I have too much brain rot to really know what themes and motifs are. My comics are often about insecurities relatable life experiences or just random jokes. His comics reflect a mix of humor and real-life struggles with a good dose of randomness thrown in for fun.
