I just read your “Pugmarks and Carbon Footprints” and I love it! I love the gag cartoons (it makes me laugh so hard that my mother asks me to quieten down). I love wildlife, especially animals. I have a rabbit, turtles, and a hamster.
I like how you base your comics on wildlife and nature. I like how you drew Naturalist Ruddy in a very cartoony way, and how he investigates a mystery. I love it! I love the storyline and the “Team Up With Ruddy” parts!
You could add more pictures and funny stuff! Maybe lessen the words for some pages? You can also add more animals and talk about many other stuff too! You could also do a comic on Singapore — I bet a lot of people would love it! Love your stories, Keep writing! I hope to hear from you soon.

I like how Rohan Chakravarty’s work depicts multiple humorous comics about climate change with ties to the real world, such as a comic about the Siberian Arctic, where a polar bear is seen behind burning ice caps saying, “Fossil fuel companies, are you entertained!?”.
It makes me laugh, but also makes me realise the seriousness of the situation about climate change at hand. His work can and is alerting people to things that some have never heard of, like when the Ganges River cruise threatens an entire sanctuary of Ganges River dolphins. Like seriously! I have never heard of those dolphins before.
What I would like to propose is to make the comic text clearer.
