Hey people!I am Amanda, a 32 years old illustrator who really enjoys comics, beer and adorable animals. I studied Illustration at Ballyfermot College of Further Education hoping to be a professional illustrator, if that’s even a thing. Oh yeah, I also work as a professional illustrator so if you want to hire me please get in touch and we can have a chat about it. I specialized in cartoons and comics (obviously) (on a second though, not that obviously…) and in February of 2011 I wrote a comic about PMS (kinda silly, I have to say) and posted on 9gag. Then a lot of people liked it and it reached front page and that’s when I thought it was about time to get things going officially out of my drawer. So I started posting every Monday an the thing got big (that’s what she said) and nowadays I can say Exploding Comics is my main thing. I like Indian food, walks on park, playing role-playing games and video-games and board games and practically anything that you can play that doesn’t involve a ball. I love cold weather, movies and I get the feeling that I’m getting old, since every time I go out to get wasted I stay in bed suffering for two days in a row. I love colored hair and piercings, rock and roll and classical music. I hate with a passion homophobic people and back pain. I love traveling and hate drawing with messy stuff like charcoal. My work tools are Photoshop, Paint Tool Sai, a Cintiq 13” and a Lenovo that is doing a pretty job processing several stuff at the same time. Well, if you need anything you can mail me at amanda@explodingcomics.com or call me at our Facebook page facebook.com/explodingcomics or you can just comment on any comic and you should get your answer as soon as possible! |

Hi! Thank you for reading them!
I wish I could publish everyday, but so far I have earned the total amount of €10 with the website along 1 year of publishing, so unfortunately I must work on things that pay for my food now-a-days instead dedicating myself only to Exploding Comics.
But I believe the day will come where I will be able to say that I can survive with only the website and then I will most certainly publish everyday!
Hola, quería saber si tus comics también están en español.
Unfortunately, they are not. :/
Thank you for the perform. Post helped me a great deal
You could certainly see your enthusiasm within the work you write.
I absolutely love your comic! I can relate so much I’ve shared loads of your pages to friends on facebook. Can’t wait for more!!

This is the kind of comment that makes me wanna keep on writing no matter how many nights awake I spend. Thank you so much for coming here and even more for these kind words.
hello Amanda.
I’m from Brazil and My name is Luis Hunzecher and i found your comics browsing in 9gag. I found them spetacular, amazing, stuning. After reading the first i started reading another, and another, in a endless cycle.
I want to propose something for you, i have a digital magazine called Any Magazine, a digital magazine that talks about geek otaku and pop stuff. I’m searching for a group of comic creators to publish in the magazine, to have a sector dedicated for comics in it. I would like to have your comics in the magazine, if you acept, i would start publishing it on the magazine issues and i personaly would translate the comics to portuguese(and could also send them to you if you wish).
I hope you accept and keep in touch, your work is amazing and it’s a talent that needs to shine. the magazine have something about 4k views month and its growing fast. Hope to have you in the team.
if you want to read them, follow the link.

Thanks and best regards
Hello, Luis.
I am from Brazil as well! What a coincidence, right?
Listen, I am so glad to hear from you, this is precisely the kind of partnership that I am looking for. As long as you keep the link to my own website and to my facebook fanpage, I’m all for it.
The only thing that I would ask is that you’d use my own portuguese version of the comics.
Please, write me on amanda@explodingcomics.com and we can chat a bit more about it!
Thanks a million
Oi Amanda! Você recomenda ler as tiras em inglês ou português primeiro?
Eu sugiro ler em inglês. São os originais, e tem todinhos aqui no site. Em português tem apenas alguns na página do Facebook.
Congratulations from Spain! I don’t know how I discovered your web but I love it!! And I have to say that only one comic for week leaves me wanting but… what good is worth waiting!! I’m so sorry for my poor English, don’t you want to learn spanish? I could teach you! ^__^ My best wishes, Sara
boa tarde, Amanda.
meu nome é Joel – estudo jornalismo no Bom Jesus IELUSC, Joinville.
estou fazendo uma matéria sobre quadrinhos – quem me indicou você foi o Paulo Kielwagem.
o que eu preciso é o seguinte: um comentário acerca dos quadrinhos no exterior (público alvo; quem lê; vendas; diferença entre os quadrinhos brasileiros e estrangeiros; e algo mais que você julgar relevante – tudo isso sob a ótica de um quadrinista).
a resposta pode ser enviada até amanhã, quinta-feira, 12/12, no início da tarde.
se você puder me ajudar, agradeço; caso não posso, entenderei.
obrigado.
Love it, Amanda! Keep it up!
Orgulho de mamy
