These Hilarious Comics Are The Dose Of Humor You Didn’t Know You Needed

Steve Ogden, a multifaceted artist, writer, and musician from Baltimore, has been steadily making his mark with a series of witty and relatable comics that are resonating with audiences. Known for his long-standing career in the creative arts, Steve's work spans over four decades, including contributions to well-known gaming companies like Sid Meier's Firaxis Games and Cyan, the developer behind "Myst" and "Riven."

Yet, it's his comic creations that have been capturing the hearts and laughs of readers lately.

Steve’s love for cartoons began early in life, influenced by iconic newspaper comics like "Peanuts," "Doonesbury," "Bloom County," "The Far Side," and most importantly, "Calvin and Hobbes." These inspirations have profoundly shaped his approach to humor, character development, and storytelling, which is evident in his own work.

Despite his busy career at Firaxis Games, where he's worked for over 22 years, Steve dedicates his spare time to crafting comics.

His creative process is a mix of spontaneous inspiration and disciplined practice. He humorously recalls Stephen King's advice to writers, noting that ideas often come out of nowhere, and the challenge lies in recognizing and developing them.

"I will get 15 ideas by breakfast," Steve quipped, highlighting his prolific nature.

Steve's comics are deeply rooted in his personal experiences and his interactions with the world. Whether it's a funny take on modern life or a reflective piece that prompts readers to think, his work is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
