Set, Series, Sequence - Awkward Yeti

Nick Seluk is the brilliant cartoonist behind the Awkward Yeti cartoons about various health related complications or simply a satirical communication of biology. His cartoons and comic strips contain silly and witty humour. They were quite an inspiration to my Set, Series and Sequence brief.

I quite like how Seluk makes these characters relate-able by giving them personas we are familiar with from real life. In the above comic, the Kidney is representing a parent or an older more authoritative figure while the gall bladder represents an innocent child. 


 In this situation, the spot is that overeager friend that nobody wants to hang out with which also makes a good parallel to our feelings about getting spots at inopportune times.

In this strip, I find that the contrast between the serious atmosphere on the inside and the silly revelation in the last panel to be quite hilarious.
