A lot of people might feel overwhelmed with all the information, and sometimes, to relieve that pressure, witnessing these topics through the lens of a comic might help.

Bored Panda once again reached out to Dennis in order to learn more about his work. We were wondering about people’s reactions to his comics. Denis shared a time when a reader's response really made him feel good about his cartoons.
“I recently received a message that said, ‘Your work is helping me and others get through a tough situation... you are doing a great service. Thank you.’ Hearing something like that is incredibly uplifting—it reminds me why I do what I do.
Of course, I also get feedback from the opposite end of the spectrum, where someone takes issue with my stance on a topic. Those can be tough to read, but they’re rewarding in their own way because they show the work has struck a nerve. Whether positive or critical, those responses confirm that my work is resonating and making people think, and that’s what keeps me going” wrote Dennis.

We were curious to learn how Dennis comes up with ideas for new comics. The artist shared whether he has a specific process or it is more spontaneous.
“Most of my recent work is inspired by politics and current events, so there’s an endless stream of material to draw from. I stay plugged into the news cycle and pay close attention to how people react—whether it’s through conversations, social media, or public discourse. Often, an idea will spark almost immediately when something irritates or annoys me.
Other times, ideas pop into my head during a walk or while doing something else. When that happens, I jot it down quickly so I can revisit it later. My process always starts with pen and paper—I like to sketch out concepts by hand first. It helps me refine the idea before committing to the final piece.”

The artist also revealed what he finds most difficult.
“After a long career in marketing, advertising, and branding, I’ve tackled my fair share of challenges—especially when it came to convincing clients to approve bold or unconventional ideas. Compared to that, creating cartoons feels liberating. The biggest difference? Now I’m my own client. That freedom allows me to focus purely on creating.”

Regarding collaboration, Dennis revealed his aspirations: “Rather than a specific artist or writer, I’d love to work with the writers at Saturday Night Live or a late-night show. They’re masters of capturing and amplifying the absurdity of what’s happening in the world. Collaborating with them would be a dream.”
Lastly, he added: “Follow me on Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and X. If you’re already a follower, thank you!”
