50 Funny Comics Inspired By Little Observations Of Everyday People By Tim Thavirat
Interview With ArtistIf you're a regular reader of Bored Panda, you know that we love comics! And what's not to like about them? They are fun, they are entertaining, and can tell something more about us and the world we live in. That's why we are always excited to share new works of well-known comics artists as well as introduce you to newly discovered talents.
Today we are happy to present to you Tim Thavirat. He is a comic artist from San Diego, California, USA. His works illustrate fun, random and sometimes annoying moments in life that you might find relatable. The artist shared that he has always written little observations that made him laugh. "I enjoyed funny comics as a kid ('Foxtrot', 'The Far Side'), and in my 20s I saw 'Perry Bible Fellowship', Brad Neely, and thought I should give it a try."

My son might happily take an occasional turn to cook for us parents now at age 16. Greetings from Finland where you are actually equal to your husband and also need to go to work so everyone does their own damn sandwitches in the morning 😆
I read long ago that original TV cartoonists only drew 4 fingers on their characters because it was faster for frame by frame. This guy leaves out the faces. Why didn't they think of that.
And they piss me off more in the movies, when the characters in a restaurant / cafe order food or drinks and then argue or there's something sudden. And they go out without that food! No force would pull me away. Either I would ask for a take away or grab it in my hand. What's with this waste of food?
This is just igniting the roll of a woman who dosnt work and probably gets up at 5am to cook all this crap. And then there is the waste....🙄🙄
Tim shared that he's always been into making videos, cartoons and comics. He studied film in college and has worked in video editing and motion graphics. The artist shared that he enjoys playing drums as well and is "kinda all over the place" when it comes to the arts. You can find some random work by Tim on YouTube.
As one guy said, I came to Amazon to buy one toilet seat…ONE! I don’t collect them!
But maybe you would like it in another color?
Load More Replies...Reviews are good actually. I always consult the negative ones before buying the product, because I want to know what could go wrong. 😉
Load More Replies...I would like to try all the models that I can find to see which one cuts my 3 square feet of yard in NYC best
At my last job interview, when asked why I wanted to work there, I said "because I have bills that need to be paid." They thanked me for my honesty and I ended up getting the job. No need for fake answers.
Load More Replies...I hate questions like these at interviews! Why else do we even wanna work? To eat! Live!
I don't care how rude I look, but at the end of every interview I've had, (when you get to ask questions) I never forgot to ask: "Since you want to know my previous employers, I think it's only fair to know YOUR past as well. So, why did previous employees quit here?" and that made them either very nervous or they confidently explained. If they were nervous or aggressive/defensive, then that's all I needed to know to figure out that they are a crappy boss and it was a terrible place to work.
I have received today job offer on email for graphic designer as a volunteer (unpaid) and they even then requested to explain "why do you think you are right person for the job!" I need yo start asking landlords to live for free and why I should choose them over others landlords...This kind of logic.
Tim's drawings are just the everyday people that he sees doing ridiculous stuff. "It always comes from everyday interactions or people watching. I recommend always having a notepad or phone handy, to write down your ideas for later."
The artist appreciates the kind comments and reactions from his followers. "It’s amazing to see people connect with your work and share it with their friends. I love knowing that people share my sentiments on these things."
Add a kid jumping on my face to wake me up and that's my life
1-4 hours of sleep don't work for me. When I wake up, I feel like a piece of half baked bread.
Exposure, eh? You give me exposure? I'll expose you to the world.
Probably get arrested if they expose themselves
Load More Replies...Puff, like if that ever happened *Runs out of blog, because it truly happened*
We got curious if Tim has any advice for someone who aspires to become a comic artist one day. "I’m definitely not the comic artist to learn from if you’re a serious illustrator. But, as with anything, pick out your favorites and just mimic them. As you go, you’ll figure out your own style. And whether it’s 2 minutes or 2 hours, devote some amount of time to it every. single. day."
soooo much ! I always wonder if they wait for their varnish to dry >:(
Load More Replies...Don't feel too bad, printer dude. My phone isn't really all that dependable either.
Arica Kimball, my phone has nearly learned how to fly, on a few occasions.
Load More Replies...This is so perfect right now, as I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver my new printer... This one will replace the other two that half work 😂
Hahaha!! But it just goes to show how doing one physical thing can take so much effort while tapping for hours in a virtual world can be so easy
Can we appreciate what a nice dude Phone appears to be? So modest, lets others in the spotlight, too.
Yes, I'm getting emotional over an anthropomorphized phone in a comic.
Load More Replies...This is either the dystopian, machine run universe of the future or the dystopian, machine run present, with "Alexa" being the goddess of al the interactive machines....all hail "Alexa".....
The artist loves how much can be conveyed in a single frame. "If you set it up right, you can give people perspective that they might enjoy — and also might need." Tim told us that he really loves connecting with people in that way.
The artist also shared that his latest venture is Infographx media where he creates animated training videos and more for companies. "We’d love to hear from anyone who’s interested in collaborating on animated videos."
Fondant is a plague on the cake world. In no way, shape, or form do I want to eat play-dough or peel off a cake skin to get at the cake...
That looks like the bluth stair car from arrested development.
I hate when I'm watching one of those cake sculpture shows and 80-90% is inedible. Like they make a skeleton with wire and then shove cake in it. The only time things should be inedible if you need to use motors or lights. OR ALSO USING RICE KRISPIES COVERED IN FONDANT?? THATS NOT CAKE!!
Cake boss cakes, only fondant and cake, no filling inbetween at all. I understand it is covered with buttercream but cmon, some decent filling, not slight 1mm filling and like 5cm of cake
Thank you! I've never understood the american obsession with having a cake that resembles something else basically made of play-dough... Give me a real good-tasting cake that looks like a cake: give me some tiramisu, give me some meringata, sachertörte, millefoglie...
Grandma's hip to the fact that "literally" literally doesn't mean literally anymore.
Wait..... Reminds u of what? The time u were in a cult and had to sacrifice to the volcano beast?
One of my ex- gfs. ME: "Ok, I gotta go, I have to get up early for work" HER: (30mins STILL talking)
but 36 hours is the normal, fair, good, awesome, perfect vacation time, and nobody deserves more, except the bosses of course! /s
The longest vacation I've ever had (in 30 yrs of working) was 4 business days plus Sat and Sun. 8 hours of travel to my destination, 8 hours back, get home at midnight, and back in the office Monday morning. That vacation was about 10 years ago. I still think about it. 'Merica.
Oh god…how can you folks live like that? We (Germany) have at least 6,5 weeks a year! And you have the right to take 3 consecutive weeks wach year. As a teacher, I even have 12,5 weeks a year - 6,5 consecutive in the summer.
Load More Replies...I think 2 weeks is the bare minimum to be legally called "vacation"... 🤔
If you take vacation days during the winter, then 1 week is an ok holiday. Summer needs 4 weeks minimum.
Load More Replies...😥😓😥 So true. And there's no trophy for Most Overworked and Least Healthy at the end of it all. But so many people here act like there is.
My old boss got praise all the time like "If we ever had a problem at 3am, we called her!" and "One time, we had an issue right before her (trans-continental) vacation. She stayed all night and left just in time to go directly to the airport." People DO think these are compliments to the workers, as opposed to indictments of the company. But yeah, I had to gtfo after hearing that mess.
Load More Replies...And if you work that many hours a week, you don't get any vacation! Corporate america!
5 weeks + public holidays is the minimum. Later 2-3 weeks more. All paid + with extra "vacation pay" bonus.
Sadness. And there is no escape. Or it’s really hard anyway, by design.
So true.. used to work for a large multinational corporation from Europe with my line manager being in NY... best part of taking vacation was to tell line management that I had taken 3 weeks vacation again and feeling the sadness in their voice being reminded of their shitty labour laws in US
Yes rub it in the faces of people who don't have the choice... Unless that person was screaming USA we are number 1. There's no need for your rudeness
Load More Replies...Just light up an incense stick and wave it around, then maybe splash a little essential oil of any kind.
There is actually an NPC group in "Dark Age of Camelot" who you interact with to learn they are trying to figure out how all of the creatures keep being full of money and items.
This feels a little outdated. It was definitely true ten years ago but recently loot tends to be more specific and unique too what you kill. Can't remember when I last killed a bird and God actual coins.
"No honey it closed down 5 years ago. Your thinking about the left we threw out that were from the restaurant that closed down 3 years ago."
Load More Replies..."Here, taste this milk. I think it's gone bad". No, I trust your judgement on this.
*Takes a sip. Yeah, it's gone bad. * Puts it back in fridge.
Load More Replies...I'm so guilty of this. Did it last night with a bag of carrots. Went to pull a couple out for the guinea pig, they were slimy, definitely bad. I put them back. You literally have to walk past the garbage can to get to the living room and I put them back.
Yeah, you can get a lot of work done, while not doing the work you were supposed to do ;-)
I happen to be an expert procrastinator. Any type of computer is an excellent procrastination buddy. It happens to me all the time. I sit down with my laptop to do "one quick thing" & next thing I know it's 3am & I've been on the computer 6 hours but it felt 10 minutes AND I forgot the one thing I intended to do.
My record is 8... then my mom was like "bruuuuuuuuuuuuh"

I'm not a coffee drinker but my dad loves it and I bet he's like this every night before bed
And then I can't sleep. And then when it's time to get up the thought of coffee isn't enough to make me want to get out of bed. Nothing is.
sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry i mean sorry
Ugh, i'm sorry that was weird, sorry mate, argh, sorry, that's so weird, sorry, hey, uh, sorry, do you like music? i mean, sorry, I like music, i'm sorry, that was weird, sorry, wow, I'm sorry, I apologise a lot, sorry. I said it again.... sorry.
Load More Replies...When I was stationed in Japan, I learned that to the Japanese, to say sorry ONCe is coming from the heart and is sincere; but to repeat saying for the same crap you did - you are just saying it for nothing.

I know someone who does this. well, he always says "sorry" twice for some reason, but otherwise it's like this.
Place your hands over your heart to align your crown chakras, and b r e a t h e.
Also the special Lili Lime pants cost more than my first car did lol.
Ads do call them "pant" now. From a Costco ad: "Greg Norman Men's 5 Pocket Pant," "Eddie Bauer Men's Utility Pant." Also "boot" and "shoe." "Khombu Ladies' Pull-On Boot," "Skechers Ladies' Ultra Flex Shoe." Singular sounds classier I guess, like "My feet hurt" vs. "My foot hurts."
funny how i got pulled over for a small hole in my muffler, barely noticeable, but Harley riders can rip 120db and that's ok
Got one on my street always. Military guy. When he moves another one settles nearby. Each of them like Sunday morning rides of less than 30 mins, shaking the windows.
Obnoxiously loud motorcycle passes. Me: Alright alright, we got it, you have a small d**k.

So true. Plus grocery stores have been putting large displays of candy all over the store for some years.
and these are, in turn, from the movie "They Live" by John Carpenter
Load More Replies...Lol true. Me and my mom lived in florida and were movimg so she was selling on market place. It literally says FLORIDA. Lady asks my mom about our cluch and my mom says you can pick it up here . then lady says she lives in New York...😒😤
I love the "Is this FREE item available?" "Yes" "I dont have a car, can you drive 2h to bring it to me?". I hate people
Load More Replies...I guess they possibly don't have the means yet and so if they find out the item is still available, that gives them hope that they would still find it when they get the money. So they leave "whistling" relieved. 😛
Load More Replies...No, only 50% of the time, the other 50% it’s unripe, rock hard and inedible :(
Load More Replies...Two tricks - 1) purchase by the bag, not individually. (Grocery workers seem to think these things are rocks that can be dumped out of the box) and 2) look for ones that aren't too green, but not soft yet - takes some practice.
So many boxes for one little thing.. who wrapped those gifts, Amazon?
Yet the last time I bought a candle in a pretty glass jar, they sent it in a bag, So of course it arrives broken. I return it, and they send it again only this time in a padded bag, it's still broken so I end up just getting it refunded. It was so pretty and would have gone perfectly in my bathroom, even after the candle was gone. I was so bummed out.
Load More Replies...I work for Instacart and it always drives me nuts when people get a bunch of healthy organic food then order like three cases of bottled water. They want their bodies to be healthy but fk the earth, right? 🙄
My nephew did this .... To me...... He had to go on a 5 day long scavenger hunt to find his birthday gift for it too .... I'm not the Auntie to mess with

Load More Replies...It is frightening how little study an MD needs to complete in nutrition
This pretty much sums up our medical system in the US. I think probably similar in all 1st world countries where pharmaceutical companies have been able to get their claws in.
It's always been the opposite for me. Was having pain from a car accident and they asked me if I'd tried losing weight.
And the side effects are: constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, sleepiness, heart attack, & seizure.
I think it's more "don't go into a shop if you only intend to buy online" it's wasting far too many people's time. If you're not gonna buy it where you try it, get all the info, have someone spell EVERYTHING out for you just to spit in their face and buy it elsewhere. It's just sad treatment of people
Load More Replies...Do people actually do this? Maybe it's bc of my impulsive buying (ADHD symptom 😂) but if I like something and have the money I'll buy it right then and there....
It took me a minute to get it and it’s so true. I did this with a bike. It never occurred to me how the shop owner must have felt. 😂🤣😂🤣. We’re so American.
Only things I get off Amazon are things I literally cannot buy around me. Like Monin syrups.
Nope...if I'm buying a guitar, I want the one I tested. The one Amazon ships may be a jacked up P.O.S. someone has already cocked up.
This actually happened to me, and I was made to feel rude. I was just a teenager, but it was unfair.
hey - I guess I didn't get the comic, I was trying to be funny. I'm genuinely really sorry if I offended anyone or said something rude :(

I hate tours that rely too much on new material. I want them to play the stuff that made me want to go see him in the first place, not their newest concept album.
I'm going to a concert in October, and worried she'll do just that

Or just not use a preposition: "sorry, poor grammar is something I will not tolerate."
Pretty sure John Lennon would be horrified with where we are as a species... He preached peace & love for much of his life & he & Yoko spoke out against consumerism & advocated protecting the environment (Yoko still does). I can't help but think he'd be a little disappointed.
I enjoyed buying Photoshop for $1500 and three years later buying the upgrade for $399. I hate that the last five years for $15/month only cost me $900. Doom on me.
No ownership. Everything as a service. You pay rent, go places on Uber and eat at restaurants. It's been like this forever and you didn't even notice.
Yep. "Which Green Day album should I listen to? Wait, it's six already?!?"
Billie Eilish is perfect for work because most of her songs are very relatable because they are about hating life :D
This is why i use software instruments to create songs to jam through
I got a GPS for the car. My damned phone failed twice when I *had* to be someplace.
Well, maybe checking the map on internet beforehand and actually printing it or simply using good old paper roadmaps doesn't make me as much as a dinosaur as i thought.
Had GPS around 2008-9 and had a near Micheal Scott situation, no lake but while I was looking for a walmart the GPS sent me to an sketchy "open field" middle of nowhere. I kept saying surely the GPS knows where to go, as it got clearer and clearer it was horribly wrong, I still tried to blindly trust the mighty GPS lol. Never used it again after that lol
Years ago I published a free little utility app for Android to stop this from happening. Was called DriveFi. I got lazy and stopped maintaining it, eventually Google delisted it because I didn't publish a privacy policy etc... But the problem is real and damnit I solved it a long time ago!
its because school teaches us to be compliant in an exploitative and oppressive capitalist society 🥰

Looking to furnish a huge apartment complex as cheaply and irritatingly as possible with easy-to-damage items so i can charge extra to have them replaced every time somebody touches it.
Take everything down immediately. Store it in a closet. Put your own up. Replace theirs when you leave. Take pictures of everything. Mail it to yourself. Complain if they refuse to pay you. 9/10 times complaining is enough. Most people just don't complain.

Slowly pull your hand away. Don't make eye contact. Tell them "aww man, I forgot the thing in the..." Then drive away, drive for hours. Don't stop. If you do, it's too late. They will tell you why they went vegan
You know, though, it's also pretty scummy when you're the vegan one, and say nothing to anyone about it, but the moment they find out, you're the subject of ridicule, and "pranks." People need to chill.
Load More Replies...Honestly, it can't be that common of an occurence. Most vegans/vegetarians I know don't make a big deal out of it, never met anyone who was so adamant about being vegan
Only on Bored Panda. In the world all the vegans I know of are perfectly reasonable and chill.

No, it's either staged or they married someone who can afford to fund their travels
There's more options, here, but I suppose that would ruin the point (yeah, lots of staged social media). Sometimes, though, I think people just need to accept their own lives, rather than insisting other lives are fake.

Mysteries of the universe # 27 - what the fk is a pumpkin spice latte? Some kind of weird ass coffee?
To those who have not heard of this concoction; It appears every year around Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas in the U.S.A. and is a great money maker for those who sell it ($5.25 for a large one at Starbucks and $3.00 at Dunkin' Donuts). It's basically a boatload of sugar with flavoring to make it taste like one is drinking a very, very sweet pumpkin-like gelatinous mess. Generally gone by the end of the year, fortunately.
Jeez everyone's getting worked up about coffee. I don't know the latest coffee trends ok.... I like my coffee like my soul, black with suar and milk to cover up the bitterness!

There is nothing fun about the zo called 'friend zone'. Its just a ubiquitous precursor to incel mentality. Women dont owe anyone sex - no matter how much they like you.
Alright, I may regret this, but let's play. Just because a man is disappointed that a girl he likes sexually does not reciprocate ('the friend zone') does not mean he won't respect her wishes. No need to shovel as many men as you can into the 'incel' category.
Load More Replies...I might catch flack for this question, but I would like to know. My SIL is the type of woman who intentionally leads guys on she has 0 interest in so she can get stuff out of them(rides, drinks, dinners). Kinda like an inverse incel i guess. Is there a term for that?
Yes. “A horrible person” or “someone who uses others”. XD
