Ademar Vieira, a Brazilian illustrator, is best known for his wordless comic series featuring Sam, Oscar, and Edgar the cat, where he captures the humor, tenderness, and challenges of life with pets through expressive, dialogue-free storytelling.
Inspired by his own experiences with animals, Ademar describes the series as “a tribute to them and to all the joy they brought into my life,” inviting readers to reflect on their own bonds with their pets. He explains that the most difficult part of creating each strip is coming up with an idea that fits his format, but once the concept clicks, he works on it steadily for one to two hours a day over several days until the piece is complete, blending patience, artistry, and emotion into every frame.
