“The characters of the comic strips ‘Sam and Oscar (and Edgar the cat)’ came up with the strip ‘The Choice’. Its success encouraged me to do more and more until the universe of Sam and Oscar took shape and became a graphic novel. These pets are totally influenced by my animals. Oscar has personality traits from my three dogs: Boy, Zelda and Nina and Edgar is totally inspired by my cat Cat-Beast.”
The artist has previously told us that the idea for “The Choice” came from his personal experience. “During the quarantine, I realized that every time I was sad or anxious or having bad thoughts, my dogs would bring me back to the present and show me how it’s possible to stay cheerful, focusing on small things like a game or a nap or the simple and sincere love of a dog. It moved me every time I thought about it because in their purity they were totally oblivious to the pandemic and focused on the simplest things in life. When I came up with the idea to create that comic, it took me a while to draw it because I thought it was not one of the best ideas I had.”
#2 “The Hamburger”
“At night, Sam likes to order takeout to eat at home. The idea seems to be great, but there is a problem: Oscar and Edgar also like it.”

The artist told Bored Panda that he has been creating his own comics since he was a child. However, he pursued a journalism degree and worked in that field for 13 years. In 2015, an opportunity arose for Ademar to migrate to audiovisual art as a screenwriter. It wasn’t until 2020 that the artist started uploading his strips on Instagram. According to Ademar, initially, he wanted to illustrate his feelings, but later, he realized that he had discovered “a fantastic way to communicate with people”.

Ademar told us that his illustrations weren’t always wordless. “At first I would put lines on the characters, but when I made a comic strip without words, people from other countries started sharing it, so I decided to always do it without words.”
#4 “They Know”
“There are moments in life when sadness takes over. Interestingly, in these moments, our pets know how we feel.”
