31 Heartbreaking Comics About Animal Abuse And Factory Farming By Joan Chan

Bored Panda reached out to Joan to find out a little bit more.

"I create these comics because of my love for animals.

Having worked in the defense of animals for over 10 years, I understood how smart they are and the scale of their suffering in the agriculture and fishing industries.

They are in my heart and mind every day."

First, we asked the artist if she had any major influences in her life that might've helped her to develop and refine her style.

"It's a mix. I have liked reading Hong Kong and Japanese comics since I was young, like Dragon Ball, Doraemon, Old Master Q, and some old western newspaper comics like Vater und Sohn. My parents own a newspaper store so I read all kinds of comics when I was young and went to the public libraries often."
