Unmasking The Absurdities Of Life In My 21 Bizarrely Ironic Comics
Article created by: Daniel Matheson
Hello there! I’m Dan, the individual behind the comic brand “Barely Baked Beans.” I’m just an average guy with a knack for spotting the humorous and ironic aspects of everyday life, which I love to make light of and share through my comics.
I’ve always had a strong affinity for comics, especially “The Far Side,” which inspired me to create a visual platform for my jokes. If you don’t remember, “The Far Side” was a ground-breaking comic that showed just how much humor and creativity could be packed into a single panel. It showed me that you can be funny and creative without necessarily adhering to conventional ideas of what’s normal or acceptable.
So with that inspiration and plenty of learning and perseverance, I gradually crafted my own unique style which, like “The Far Side”, tries to incorporate a sense of surrealism and absurdity. I like to take ordinary situations and give them a twist or a surprise ending that the reader might not expect. Also, like Gary Larson, I often use non-human characters in my comics, anthropomorphizing them to make them more relatable, surprising, or humorous (or all three at once).
