I'm allowed to drive a car, I can legally drink, I even rent my own house but I still haven't figured out this thing 'adulthood'.
My name is Marloes De Vries and I'm a Dutch illustrator and writer of picture books, comics and other things that contain both words and pictures. I've been drawing since I was young, mainly to understand my own feelings and thoughts. Not much has changed since then!

Nowadays, at 14, you're in school and crushing on some random celebrity, but in the 1600s you died in childbirth
Actually that's a myth that people married and had babies so young. It happened with nobility but normal people? In their 20s like us now

Roller Coaster Tycoon was my jam! So was the original Sims. This is pretty accurate of me at 18, and my mother at 18.
why would not having kids make you a failure? really?!? that's inbelivably stupid!
The average age of women giving birth to their firstborn in Finland is about 29 yo. And in Helsinki, the capital of Finland it's over 30 yo.....
With my meals, I'm always thinking one step ahead... like a carpenter .. that builds stairs.
Why make extensive plans when our society will see to it that only the very privileged can carry out those plans?
Sometimes I feel like my life is falling apart when I buy something for more than $3
This is me every night even tho I know it means i'll be the walking dead in the morning.
Same!! I always go binge googling random stuff
Load More Replies...This is me currently, I need to be up early and here I am browsing bp.
this is painfully accurate. That's why I can't go on youtube before bed, I wind up looking up a music video and 2 hours later I'm watching a video about how giraffe's communicate with each other
Morning exercise routine. Who needs fitness centres? ^_-
Load More Replies...The problem with reading these comics is that once I'm actually back in this situation I think about how everyone does it too, so I might as well finish off the bar... and go back to the store to get another one to "save for later"
I can never get a bar to save for later. If I buy one for now and one for later I'll just end up eating both at once.

Load More Replies...I turned down a shopping bag at the beginning, because I wasn't going to buy anything. Halfway through I needed a cart :P
here is a idea....only spend money you have, do not use credit, you would be amazed at what happens
How I realized my apartment was broken into - my coffee was gone. Who steals coffee? Bastards had a key and came back the next day.
Terrifying! How did they get the key? Did they get caught?
Load More Replies...I always thought than I won't be able to tell if I am robbed or not because my place usually looks like this
My house works all week to get to the point where I absolutely HAVE to clean it over the weekend.
This is actually my concept ten years back.. but it doesn't work when my home was actually broken down into..
All the time! I don't know how it disappears in a new place every single time. Regardless of their size each one of my bags have this key swallowing feature. :)
Humongous key charms and developed a habit to always put it in a certain pocket.

Gotta speak up girl. My lady is very patient and will adjust the temp several times if needed 💕
My hairstylist person always pulls my hair when she does this. It hurts.
That has happened to me, only its usually when the handyman is coming to fix something in my apartment, then I have to awkwardly smile like I wasn't just dropping a deuce and that's why it stinks!
This happens to me a lot, but with my mom. She usually rings my doorbell or calls me when I'm on the toilet. It's like she freaking knows!! :D lol
Okayyy... so I ate like 5,000 calories today, but I drank a LOT of water, so I guess it's fine
But did you eat it with a Diet Coke? Cuz then you're good 👍🏻😋
Load More Replies...Right - toast the bread then nuke the whole thing!
Load More Replies...That's me on the sofa when I try doing food for myself :) it's better that my hubbie does the cooking, I think he would have been on junior masterchef when he was 8 yo if the program would have existed then.
takes less than 30 seconds for me. i feel no shame or regret
Load More Replies...I never Promise myself that it is going to be just one square, it is always One bar. Or Two...
If s/he's the right one, you'll look like a goddess with her hair elegantly waving in the wind for them. Like a model posing in front of a blowing fan.
It doesn't take "the right one" to find a person attractive despite the weather.
Load More Replies...My hair is always insane, no matter what the weather is like, so I've just stopped trying😂😂😂
it's not the chocolate it's the sugar in it ;) eating a dark chocolate with more than 85% cacao is pretty healthy
That's why I rather stay home most of the time than going to fancy parties where I can't be myself
People in Seattle are too nice to the pidgeons. They are all very roly poly here ;)
I know... I absolutely adore pigeons and I don't understand why people is so mean to them. If there is a plague on earth is humans...
I know... I absolutely love pudgeond and get sad people don't understand them. If there is a plague it's humans...
Texans have the same relationship with summer heat. Just "oh, I'm sorry, Boston, is this too hot for you?"
I'll have a gluten free vegan low-carb zero-calorie healthy soy free nut free bean free latte please
That is not how a tight shirt looks like but the idea- totally relatable :D
