Art has the ability to transport you to another world.
So it’s no surprise that many comic artists choose to depict their daily lives in their work. I understand that some people do not regard comics as models of beautiful art, but I believe there is a place for humorous comics that explore human nature in amusing ways. There is a unique genre that draws inspiration from the personal experiences of artists in the captivating world of comics, where imagination knows no bounds. Travel through Ireland’s rural landscapes as comic creator Chris Haughton weaves stories based on their own encounters, providing a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life in these idyllic but often overlooked regions.
Finally, when it comes to art, everyone has their own preferences and opinions, which they are free to express in any way they see fit. As previously stated, Chris Haughton lives in the Irish countryside and finds inspiration in the tranquil surroundings, incorporating the beauty of nature into their artwork. They not only share their personal experiences through their comics, but they also provide a unique perspective on life in rural Ireland, capturing the essence of its charm and simplicity. Not to mention the often unexpected and hilarious twist that permeates throughout all of their comics.
That is why we have gathered some of our favourite comics from him for your viewing pleasure.

Slow Country Comics is the name of this delightful project, and I believe it is clear from the name that the artist wants to put the rural countryside front and centre in his work. Not only that, but many of his comics twist what we all experience on a daily basis, from embarrassing moments we’d rather forget to hilarious once-in-a-lifetime experiences that some in the audience may have had.
He has over 2k Instagram followers, which I believe is insufficient given the calibre of his work. So, If you like these comics, you can find more of his work on the various social media websites we mentioned above.
