The creators of Quickies Comics shared insights into their creative process and story with Brandon Martin offering a peek behind the scenes.
When asked about his favorite comic, Brandon mentioned that he tends to gravitate toward those based on everyday experiences. The Godzilla/Lego comic comes to mind. The idea came from an incident at a friend’s house his son had Legos scattered on the floor and I stepped on one barefoot. If you’ve ever done this you know it’s the worst pain a human foot can experience. From there, I thought How can I make this more comedic yet still relatable? That’s when Godzilla popped into my head and it just clicked.

Joey, a talented artist, brings bold visuals to life while Brandon adds his sharp humor creating comics that capture everyday moments with wit and charm. Curious about how they collaborate so seamlessly we asked how they balance their creative efforts.
Brandon explained Joey and I have an incredibly smooth creative process. I text his ideas as soon as they pop into my head day or night sorry, Joey. If he likes an idea, he’ll reply with an LOL. If he likes it, he’ll text HAHAHA. A few days later, he sends me a rough sketch and he nails it pretty much every time.

Brandon shared that many of their cartoon ideas are inspired by real-life moments that happen throughout the day. I’ve somehow trained my brain to recognize these moments as they happen and I immediately jot them down so I don’t lose the idea he explained.

Brandon mentioned that they often receive messages from Quickies fans, with many sharing phrases like. This made my day or this had me laughing all morning. He said It’s incredibly rewarding to make someone laugh and have a positive impact on their day. That’s always the goal. But we had one fan who got a tattoo of one of our comics. That completely blew my mind.
