Alvin shared how humor can be used to address serious topics in comics. I think it’s important to approach heavy subjects with a light-hearted touch. I find it helps ease the tension and creates a safer space for more genuine conversations.

Alvin shared that he feels a deep connection to all of his comics as they reflect his emotions in the moment. One comic that particularly resonates with me is about my dog who went missing a few years ago. We never found him and creating the comic helped me through the grieving process he explained.

As a fun bonus, we asked Alvin what message he would include in a comic strip for a time capsule for future generations. I think I’d create a comic about dealing with personal issues to show that no matter the period, we all have unresolved struggles he shared.
