If you’ve ever stayed up at 2 a.m., cringing over an awkward conversation from years ago, then you’ll definitely connect with the hilarious webcomics of Joe Holtby the artist behind Portuguese Geese. Known for capturing those painfully relatable social moments Holtby takes the discomfort of real-life situations and transforms them into laugh-out-loud comics.
His creative process is a mix of simplicity and mood. The sun has to be down, the vibes have to be right, and I have to have a good YouTube video playing Holtby says setting the perfect scene for comic creation. And with that another painfully awkward, yet funny comic is born. His work speaks to anyone who’s ever fumbled through a conversation or made a social misstep awkwardness it turns out is a universal language.
Inspired by webcomic legends like PBF Comics Cyanide & Happiness and Extra Fabulous Comics, Holtby has perfected the art of making people laugh at their own cringe-worthy moments. I hope my comics make people laugh and maybe inspire other artists, he adds. Whether you’ve ever said you too when a waiter tells you to enjoy your meal or accidentally tripped over nothing, Holtby’s comics are a reminder that we’re all in this together when it comes to life’s awkward moments.
