Mark, recently honored as “Cartoonist of the Year,” continues to charm readers worldwide with his clever humor and relatable storytelling. Reflecting on his work in an interview with Bored Panda, he noted, “I use a lot of humor in my cartoons because characters have so much personality, and they’re simply fun to draw.”
When asked about audience reactions, he explained that responses are consistent across his comics: “Pet owners are generous in expressing their joy, and I think we all love humor about living with these little critters.” On receiving the NCS Reuben Award, he described it as “the biggest honor I’ve ever received. It’s voted on by my peers, and that means everything to me… Honestly, I don’t think I’d be here without the inspiration I get from dogs and cats.”

When asked which of his dog-themed comics stands out the most, Mark admitted he doesn’t have a single favorite but pointed to one that sparked a big response. “I don’t have a single favorite dog cartoon, but I’ll give a mention to a recent one—the dog in the dentist’s chair. That one really seemed to strike a chord and received a great reaction,” he shared.

Interestingly, audiences react much the same way whether Mark draws cats or dogs. Both resonate deeply with pet lovers. “I usually get similar reactions whether I do dog or cat cartoons. Pet owners are generous in expressing their joy, and I think we all love humor about living with these little critters,” he said.
