Everyday Life And Being A Single Woman Illustrated In These 30 New Comics By This Artist
Interview With Artist
We always love seeing new and up-and-coming artists with an impeccable sense of humor. Given how many successful comic artists have been featured so far on Bored Panda, we thought why not introduce you to yet another rising star? Today we’d like for you to meet Zena, whose comics have been previously featured on Bored Panda quite a while ago (you can find them by clicking here).
Curious about how Zena started making comics, we reached out to her to ask this exact question.
“I started making these comics as a pandemic hobby. It was just a way to connect with my friends and family during the height of social distancing. I wanted to see if I could make them (and myself) laugh. It was a good distraction!”

Me, a member of gen-z: "when I get older I will ~embrace~ the cringe"
MarmotArchivist 3 years ago
Oh I see, so the "tick tock" refers to the fleetingness and obsolescence of youth and the fear of beeing replaced by the next generation. Deep.

Wasnt it genZ that started this entire "cringe" culture in the first place? Ironic that

We also took the time to ask the author of the comics about the characters she portrays.
"I created my characters after I realized it was a lot easier to draw comics without having to come up with new character designs each time. I wanted my comics to have a slightly manga-inspired look, just because I love that style, and the black and white color scheme seemed easier to start with."

Make sure you do your research though and donate through a system that doesnt capitalize on the "WE'RE HELPING UKRAINE!" title. For instance, instead of rounfing up your change at walmart, put that change in a change jar, then once a year, add it all up qt the bank and make a large donation to UNICEF!

"I also had just finished reading Sarah Andersen’s book 'Fangs' and Cassandra Calin’s 'Still Just Kidding' and loved their styles as well. I’ll never be as good as either of them, but I aim to reach their levels of artistry and humor! So my designs are definitely influenced by their amazing work. In the end, I just wanted to make some recognizable characters who could essentially 'speak' for me. I feel like they do."

I wish I could do that. As a dog walker, and having my own dog, I estimate I pick up a after a dog somewhere between 2500 and 3000 times a year. I’ve been doing this for eight years. I pick up every single poop, every time. On the rare I don’t have a bag, I go back and get one. On the rare occasion I can’t go back, I’ll just pick up a random poop or two to make up for it. Sometimes I just pick old poop next the one the dog just made. And you what? It’s easy! Pick your [can’t find an expletive strong enough to express myself] dog poop!
Chinmayee Kalghatgi 3 years ago (edited)
The reason they eat it is so that a predator can’t find the poo and track you with the smell. Nowadays it isn‘t needed

I hate being the bearer.of very bad news, but, I regret to inform you that I have it, from some VERY reliable sources, that the Magic Poop Fairy has succumbed to her injuries stemming from the brutal attack by the UFO (United Fairy Outreach) on Tuesday May 53rd 1638. The UFO has released a statement, one line of which read "Us regular Fairies had tode him to quit bringing his work back to the nest,but, did Pooh ever listen to us, No", the group also asked the public to allow them time to mourn their fallen comrade, and are taking go fund me donations to help cover the cost of beer.

I never understood why we as humans do this, I get it's to keep the park clean or whatever but maybe...here me out..we just have like a dirt patch..or compost bin to put the dog poop in. why do we use plastic bags that are terrible for the environment
Aspen r 3 years ago
There are bigger issues than compostable bags. Dog poo is a big contributor of phosphorous, nitrogen, and bacteria, Which can really damage water and air quality. Also parasites like to grow in them and that’s never a good thing

I agree with brain here, he deserves a cookie and a medal for doing the taxes.
When asked about whether the artist has always been working in the art field, here’s what she told us: "Yes! I’ve done art since I was a little kid. I used to cartoon quite a bit in high school. I even drew a short comic book for a college scholarship application! Art is one of my favorite things to do and I only wish I had more time for it. It’s hard balancing a webcomic with a full-time job, but I try my best."

Zena's stories reach a lot of people on social media so we were curious how the artist felt about that.
"It’s amazing! Getting to share a laugh with a lot of people is one of my favorite parts of drawing a webcomic. I’ve made a ton of online friends this way. It really did a lot to help me get through the pandemic!"

Not single and don't shave. Having hair is natural for an adult female, men should just get use to it.

I haven't shaved mine in a loooooooooooooong time. Though I admit, I've given up on my shaver at this point. They break too easily. I literally use Kitchen scissors sometimes...I need help.

When asked about what advice she’d give to people starting out with comics, here’s what the artist said, "Go for it! Find a supportive friend and start sharing your comics with them through social media. It will help you get over any shyness or fear. I can’t tell you how much I owe to several friends and family members who encouraged me to start posting my comics. They made all of this possible for me because of their continuing love and support. And likewise, support your friends and their work! It’s an amazing thing to hear words of encouragement."

No, I do the Brad. I send them at 3am too. You don’t have to answer. I’m not expecting a reply but I’m also not giving a sh*t about going the extra step on all my Emails to deliver at a certain time. If I feel like working at 3am or Saturday afternoon, I will.
"Overall, I just hope my art rings true and can provide some welcome humor when needed. It’s the best feeling when you can forget your troubles for a moment and laugh. So that’s what I aim to do."
