Have you ever wondered what would happen if animals could speak the human language? Or if maybe we humans could understand their language? Well, artist Jimmy Craig answers this question in a comic book format, and over 590,000 people on Instagram seem to agree with his ideas about how animals perceive us and our world.
From talking cats and dogs, we enter a world where any animal can convey their thoughts and some of the situations portrayed may leave you with a smile or two.
Jimmy’s work has been featured on Bored Panda before and you can find it by clicking here, , here and here.

Jimmy’s comics take into account not only typical everyday pets like dogs and cats, but also animals like turtles, lions, birds and even worms. Truth be told, we can only wonder where he gets all these ideas for the comics, especially when he makes the dialogue sound so precise, like if the animals could actually talk, they would tell us.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, we asked Jimmy about his career as a cartoonist and how it progressed over the years, and this is what he told us: “I like to think that the art has gotten better over the years. I think doing something consistently naturally leads to getting better at it. I think the content of the comics has had to evolve because I used fruit-at-your-fingertips ideas early on.

What makes Jimmy’s comics even more interesting, though, is the fact that he also has pets, so some of the situations he describes are taken from his everyday life with two cats. Jim’s cats help him come up with new ideas while he tells us a little about them. “They’re both very different, so I think between the two of them I can make jokes that relate to a wide range of cat owners.
