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.
I'm the missing link between wolves and dogs: I'm a fat, friendly, food-motivated wolf XD
To be fair, I think that being perfectly average is pretty nice. Both my brothers (and my mother) were always smarter than I was and they breezed through elementary and secondary school without doing much, while I had to work a lot more. They both somehow passed their Bachelor's and Master's while doing very little work, but barely. Now that they are faced with real life, they are learning how to actually work, which I had to do a long time before. I mean, I can't say that I never envied them, but I feel like being the "stupid one", I had to develop other skills
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. 🥹
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!
My orange boy can't even find the Brain Cell. Don't think he's going to turn evil any time soon.
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".
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.
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!)
Yeah, why never the winning lottery ticket or a bequest from a rich uncle you never heard of?
My cat will literally come out of the kitchen after drinking from his fountain and start drinking from my cup of water. -.-
And that's how I learned about the dangers of being an amazing person with an infectious personality whose smile can light up a room and whose day started like any other day.
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.
