About this comic

This comic, titled Why Does Man Create?, offers a witty exploration of the sparks that ignite creative endeavors, particularly in the realm of storytelling. It portrays three legendary authors, each inspired by a unique moment or challenge: J.K. Rowling’s delayed train journey giving birth to the idea for Harry Potter, George R.R. Martin wrestling with his “Tolkien Problem” before creating A Song of Ice and Fire, and J.R.R. Tolkien’s desire to give his invented language a narrative home, resulting in The Lord of the Rings.

By juxtaposing these anecdotes with a whimsical, thought-provoking visual style, the comic reflects on the unpredictable origins of human creativity. It humorously ponders how moments of inconvenience, curiosity, or imagination can evolve into timeless masterpieces.
