Talking to Hindustan Times, Lam said that he conceived the idea and started creating the Buddy Gator comics after the outbreak of the pandemic. “I think most people are having a hard time now. I’m trying to spread positive vibes through Buddy Gator, hopefully (I) can bring some smiles to people’s faces through this comic, and heal people’s feelings in this hard time,” he added.

What is even more interesting is that the lovely gator is not the only one who is spreading happiness all around. Besides the main character, there are also others like Giant Rabbit, Sloths, or Baby Ninja Turtles who often make appearances in the comic. Lam said that these animals are “like a group of cute family characters” and he has plans of creating more of them in the near future.

The comics Lam shares on his social media are adorable and wholesome. Lam told Hindustan Times that he wants to spread the message of love through Buddy Gator comics. “We always have someone like Buddy Gator around us, or we are the Buddy Gator to someone. Our world needs more love, less hate,” he added.
