We have something special for longtime fans of one of our favorite artists featured on Bored Panda over the years. Sarah Andersen needs little introduction to most of our community, but if you’re new here, you should know that she is one of the best artists when it comes to painfully relatable humor. The cartoonist has built a huge following on social media through her hilarious comic series that captures everyday struggles, awkward moments, anxiety, introversion, and all the highs and lows of adulthood, and millions of people see themselves in her work.

The artist first began sharing her comics online while studying at the Maryland Institute College of Art, eventually turning her semi-autobiographical doodles into a full-time career. Since then, her work has expanded far beyond Instagram and Tumblr, leading to bestselling comic collections like Adulthood Is a Myth, Big Mushy Happy Lump, and Herding Cats.

In this post, we’ve selected some of Sarah’s best cartoons, loved most by our readers. They’re funny, honest, and deeply relatable comics that perfectly capture what it feels like to navigate adulthood in the modern world. Scroll down to check them out for yourself.

Flat chests or silicon implants, neither need bras. But the rest of us do.

    Ours will meow at the front door for us to let him in, walk straight through the house to the cat hole in the back, and walk around to the front door and meow for us to let him in. He is a 1st grade A-hole.

    I had a 130 lb (59 kg) german shepherd that thought he could sneak up onto my lap if he did it slowly enough. This, my people, was not, in fact, true.

    Since cat breeds do not work the way dog breeds do (no, your cat is not "half Bengal", it's just a domestic shorthair moggy even if the Bengal parent was purebred) I'm all for calling a cat's "breed" as the place you found them: Dumpster breed, Parking Lot breed, Shelter breed, etc XD

    As a kid I read fantasy novels full of big world-changing events like wars and natural disasters with evil tyrants and such and sighed wistfully, wishing I could live through such exciting things. Fast forward to today: OH GO WHY WASN'T I MORE CAREFUL WHAT I WISHED FOR MAKE IT STOP! And owning a cool sword hasn't even done anything to enable me to fix it!

    We got our little one when a young lady moved out from the house next door. She had 4 cats and Beanie hated all of the others. Lady moved about a mile away and next day Beanie appeared in our garden. I took her back and she said I'll keep her in for a bit longer. Beanie escaped and appeared next day. Went through this about six times, when eventually the young lady said I'll have to take her to the cats protection for re-homing. She was ours then for the next 13 years. 🥹

    You know how you start out with a cool name for your pet, and then you end up always calling them by the most ludicrous, stupid, cringe nicknames? Yeah... one of my cats is named Lucanis, but he knows his name as "Woo-woo" (Lucanis > Woocanis > Woo-woo.) My dog Fenring responds to "Dingus" (from Fenringus von Dingus, naturally.) My cat Riker has somehow become "Pickle".

    At least two weeks for the jeans and that's daily wear. And I regularly have a dog on my lap after walking for many blocks in a city. This is probably a poor decision on my part (the two weeks - not the dog on the lap!)

    Hours spent on connect, disconnect LAN cable, IP config, VPN, and airplane mode. When the possible cause could be a simple outage. My brain doesn't want to believe that.
