20 Interesting Comics With Light Humor By “Danby Draws”
Daniel Murrel, who lives in southern California, creates light-hearted comics to entertain people. The artist started his webcomic series “Danby Draws Comics” in August 2020 and he constantly posts new comics on his Instagram account every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In his account description, Danby writes, “I draw comics for the internet. Maybe that’s you.”
Daniel loves to put a smile on people’s faces through his interesting comic series. In a recent interview with Bored Panda, Daniel revealed, “I just loved reading comics since I was a kid. And I have been drawing on and off for a long time. I used to post comics and only share with friends, but during the pandemic, I started sharing on social media. The goal of the comic is to make beautiful comics that make people happy.”

“My main inspiration would be comic artists Bill Watterson and Kris Straub”, Daniel added in the interview. “Like so many others, I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes comics by Bill Watterson, and that had a great impact on the kind of comics I like to create. I still use the dark, inky outlines because I loved the way it looked in his work. I wish I could fully emulate the watercolors, but that’s hard to do digitally.”

The artist also revealed that takes some time to decide what comic to make next because he has too many ideas. “I usually sketch it out and show my wife for her approval. Then it might take me three to ten hours to finish the comic. I usually try to keep them simple, but they can get pretty intense art-wise”, Daniel said.

Daniel said that he has received mostly positive feedback for his works, and some rude ones too- “I’ve gotten a fair share of nice comments from people on the internet. I really appreciate those. Sometimes I get rude comments, but the healthiest thing is to just ignore them. I’ve also seen a handful of memes and amusing alterations of my art. You never know what’s gonna happen when you put out stuff like that.”

The artist’s motivations to create these comics are curiosity, relatability, and art itself- “I would say that I mostly enjoy telling stories. Even when you have limited space, you still have the opportunity to be poetic in your own way. You can still capture a feeling that resonates with people.”
