Marengo Lambert is a talented cartoonist who is better known for her sheep comics that explore the topics of mental health. The artist disclosed that "those comics are for the lonely, anxious, and sheepish ones. I like to think that the topics of depression and grief are touched on in a kind way. A way that can bring comfort in times that are scary."
However, recently, Marengo has been creating more story-driven comics as well. One that caught our attention, and we wanted to share with you, is about the character Death and his new Apprentice—a lost soul. Their different perspectives and Soul's charming personality soften Death's view, leading to fun adventures of self-discovery. The artist shared: "I have so many more stories to tell. Excited to show you what’s in store."

In an interview with Bored Panda, Marengo shared: “I’m mostly a very private person so I usually avoid talking too much about my personal life but I will say that It’s been lovely providing comics and stories for people to read these past few years. My experience with depression and grief has led my comics in a certain direction that I think resonates with people. If my comics can do any good whatsoever, then for that I’m grateful.”

Previously, Marengo also shared: “I originally wanted to express my thoughts on being an introvert, but as time went on, I had fallen into a deep depression for some time. I realized the comics became an outlet for me during this time.”

We were wondering what initially drew Marengo to the world of artistry.
“I’ve been drawing since I was 4 and started making comics in the first grade. (They weren’t very good,)” wrote the artist.
