The Vision & Origins of CritterBis
The story of CritterBis began in 2023, born from Julian Estes’s visionary spark in the charming locale of Oxford, North Carolina. We set out to create more than just comics; we envisioned a vibrant creative sanctuary where parody meets artisanal storytelling. Inspired by the eccentricity of the Smiling Critters series, we reinterpret beloved narratives with a playful ingenuity that speaks to the die-hard fan and the satirical soul alike.
At our core, we remain committed to Julian’s founding principle: that creative freedom should flourish through the lens of satire. From our Oxford base, we continue to cultivate a lively community, ensuring that every wink, nudge, and joke resonates across generations. This is our story—a journey of laughter, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect comedic voice.
WE DON'T JUST REPLICATE THE MAGIC—WE REINTERPRET IT WITH A KNOWING WINK • THE ART OF THE SATIRICAL SNICKER • SMILES, CRITTERS, AND A WHOLE LOT OF SASS •
Wink, Satirize, Repeat
We believe a well-placed eyebrow raise is worth a thousand words. Our creative wellspring flows from the whimsical narratives of our muse, ensuring every page resonates with both long-time fans and those seeking a fresh, cheeky perspective on the critters we love.
