The name Spud Comics carries a personal and meaningful backstory. Lonnie Easterling shared that he wanted a title that captured the short and punchy nature of his one-panel cartoons. What better choice than his childhood nickname which already had a fun lighthearted ring to it? Beyond that, the name also serves as a tribute to his grandfather who had a unique sense of humor and was the one to first call him Spud. As a bonus, since spud means potato it naturally inspired a simple yet memorable logo idea tying everything together in a way that felt both personal and playful.

Creating humor within a single panel is no small feat, requiring a perfect balance of wit and visual storytelling. When asked about his approach Lonnie Easterling explained that he doesn’t follow a strict formula his process is more about playful exploration. He starts with a random subject anything from giraffes to birthday cakes to potholes and then looks for an unexpected or absurd angle to make it funny. The key is to find a relatable situation or an exaggerated twist that turns an ordinary object into something hilariously unexpected. For example, imagine a giraffe driving a car hitting a pothole and suddenly stretching its neck out of the roof perhaps not the final joke but a glimpse into how his creative mind works.
