One of his most famous characters is "Quimby the Mouse" he was modeled after Felix The Cat and Mickey Mouse. It is said to be a self-reflection on of his childhood, especially his relationship with his grandmother.
Ware uses simple black outlines over his roughs then takes these to photoshop to add the colours, tones and text to the comic strip. He uses vivid colour and makes his lines realistic. His comics are open to all ages as they have some subliminal messages within his work, hinting at depression and emotions, and social isolation.
Overall I like his work because it is rather realistic however due to the use of block colours he creates a flat appearances within his comic strips. I like to pick out the hidden messages within each comic and see if his messages are obviously portrayed.
