Regarding his choice of single-panel comics, the artist said, “When I was a kid growing up in the ’90s, I loved Gary Larson’s The Far Side. In a single image, he could make hilarious and often insightful statements about humanity. nature and philosophy. I always liked the fast-paced nature of his cartoons. You go straight to the joke, and if it’s not that good (or you don’t get the joke), you go to the joke. Next, I like variety, and I also like to create a small world consisting of just one line and one picture.”

When asked about how he interacts with his fans, Vaughan noted: “Something I learned is that just because I find a cartoon funny doesn’t mean other people will like it. So I’m always interested in what other people like. My cartoons and I try to do this more often. I love posting cartoons on social media because I get immediate reactions. I also know if it is confusing or easy to misinterpret. newspapers, I often have to wait weeks to get a response (if I get a response at all). On social media, I receive clarifying comments and questions, such as who should speak.What should the joke be or the goose’s tie is too high?
