Artist Pokes Fun At Everyday Life Annoyances In 26 Humorous Comics (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistLife is a daily battle that we somehow need to win. However, sometimes there's no way to run away from all the struggles, so it's just better to laugh them off instead. That's the message that Anastasia 'Stushona' Ivanova, an artist better known as Comicada, is trying to transmit with her fun and entertaining comics.
Anastasia illustrates the life of her alter ego who, as the artist mentioned before, is "a reflective girl finding non-standard ways of solving problems." Her illustrations poke fun at everyday life annoyances and we cannot wait to share them with you!

The main character in Comicada comics seems to appear in absurd and sometimes even disturbing situations, either trying to deal with them in an unusual way or just accepting them as they are. Either way, the comics are filled with good humor and irony that might make one squeeze out a smile, even a little one.
I'm confused..... Why can the claw's but hers can't?!?!

Excuse me kind censor, we need you to properly censor the blur... I mean we don't know what's behind it but it's a little weak! Thank you 🙂

Load More Replies...I had a cat that would do that, then he would hold my head down and groom me. It was the best kind of love!
Treat your cat. Poor thing. Fleas make them miserable too!
Load More Replies...For Comicada, creating comics is a way to speak with the world. She doesn't push herself and draws only when she has something to say. Other times, the artist thinks that it's better to be silent for a little while. In this way, one's brain might be filled with good and creative ideas.
I wish. I can drink an entire soup mug's worth of coffee (full-strength, never had decaffeinated) and immediately go to sleep... and routinely do.
We got in touch with the artist again to get to know more about her and her creative process. Anastasia shared that she has been drawing all the time for as long as she can remember. "I can't imagine my life without art and a pencil in my hand. I had no doubts about what life path to choose and what profession. After I got a higher art education, I managed to work in the IT field, in the development of characters and mascots, draw pictures and still practice it. My love for character design has motivated me to create short 4 screen comics. I didn't think it would resonate with people like that, but I really enjoy it when people smile when they look at my comics."
I always suspected my cat brought her friends in when I wasn't home. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
Lol this is so true! We don't think anything weird is happening cuz cats.... then u realize it's not the cats. *horror music*
It’s fiiine it’s just a biblically accurate angel here to asign you a quest (or to have a cup of tea)
I learned from another bored panda post recently that frogs and toads have butt cheeks :)
Load More Replies...To get high. There is a toad you can lick that secretes a hallucinogen
Load More Replies...she either got really high, or shes disappointed, the frog didnt turn into a prince.
Load More Replies...No one is happy about what happened. Let us never speak of this again.
Inspiration for her comics Comicada finds everywhere. "I love everything absurd and funny. Sometimes a Chinese online store can inspire me, and sometimes a phrase I heard in a stream of people. You need to note these things and write them down quickly otherwise they will fly away from you."
With weapons and worldphobia seems more legit these days
Load More Replies...To the question of what makes her passionate about creating comics, Comicada answered that her comics and animations have one important mission - to cheer people up. "Even if one person smiled, it's already good. Sometimes one little picture is enough to make your day. Even in the darkest times, it is a saving piece of light."
I Hate those damn things! I live in a very small apartment building, 7 apartment's in all. My upstairs neighbor, is infested with roaches! He's severely autistic, and his "caretaker," isn't much of one! He really doesn't need to live alone. My landlord, had to set off foggers, and get rid of them. But, the damage was already done, to were everyone else is infested too! We finally got rid of them, but still seen one every now and then. Last week, it seems like their flooding in! I'm like a crazy person when I see one trying to charge it down. When I smash it, I obliterate it! Start spraying, fogging, and setting out roach motels.
….amazing how such small creatures can invade and inflate us! Luv you!
And ma scolds me for the tardiness!! can't they clean up before they leave!??
gotta google this. Is it what I ate? Or what THEY ate. Seriously I have issues. Luv you and your work.
So that's why there are always trash in my room. Totally not because I never clean
I'm pretty sure this what happens to cat owners whilst we're asleep
Don't go in there, you'll become one. Freaky creatures; monster party. Eyes of yellow, scales and feathers, tails and tethers. Turn the lights off. Everybody likes to get taken for turns to see how bright the fire inside of us burns. And everybody wants to get evil tonight, but all good devils masquerade under the light. - Tally Hall "Turn the Lights Off"
At the moment, the artist is working on several projects: "Silent comic" is a comic where there is not a single phrase or explanatory text. "The second project is not illustrative but very interesting and new to me, it is related to the book I am writing.
Lately, I rarely release anything new. In the current reality, humor seems out of place. But I see that both new and my old comics and animations still resonate with viewers. Now my work is entering a new stage, a kind of restart. How it will be, I don't know until the end, but I know it will be interesting!"
Comicada comics have also been featured on Bored Panda before. You can find them here and here.
Maybe it's just me, but I hate the squaring and thickening eyebrows fad.
I do not like the dramatic heavy eyebrows you forget to see the acual beautiful eye itself
I've Never been a fan of, drawing your eyebrows on! I hate it so much, I just went natural. Now, the kind you comb the color on, is my go-to for eyebrows! They look natural!
This is why I ignore trends altogether and keep my eyebrows natural - lightly shaped, trimmed, and the same size now as they were in '88. Easy peasy! 😄
Same all the way to '88, I don't even shape them any more. All I do is every so often I pluck the in between, but thats it.
Load More Replies...I Hate the ridiculous drawn eyebrows....its too much. Natural with maybe some tinting for those with light color brows, is perfect. Now I under stand wax/pluck/threading do to unibrows and wild brows but that's it.
All of you saying "it's not my job to judge" obviously don't know how society works, and are probably why people get away with this shjt in the first place.
Wait, she was carrying the tea/coffee *inside* her coat? If it were me, I`d be wearing the hot beverage all over me in a matter of seconds lol
Very true. Same for ice coffee during this $#@%&#& HEAT wave 🔥 📛 👨🚒
You've clearly not seen kendal jenner try to cut a cucumber.
Load More Replies...welp, im tramatized for thje rest of my life. if you need me, ill be in the corner (●'◡'●)
I can't get the image out of my head. Make some space in the corner for me (´v`)
Load More Replies...Your work is most definitely not s**t, though. These drawings are awesome!
I get this alot. The thing is, they come from people who can't draw. They are jealous of your talent. Believe in yourself and you can thrive. Don't listen to others, your drawings are amazing!
Only those with insight will get it (even tho there’s a couple that went over my head🤪 could be my generational gap) I’m 66 yrs old and I love your work. Specially the “turned off kids” at Halloween!
Bahahaha right as I start twitching to sleep! Every time
Load More Replies...Regardless of the time, the noise that precedes the puking up of the hairball will wake the dead. It has dragged me, kicking and screaming, out of the best dreams and the best and deepest, most refreshing sleep I have ever had. You instantly go from horizontal to vertical, without bending in the middle, turn on the light to look for the spot so you don’t step in it (a horror all by itself if you’re barefoot), and go for the paper towels. But you can’t blame the cat. They give us so much love and affection, and the even groom themselves so we don’t have to, so hairballs—-which usually get expelled by the back door anyway—-are a small and infrequent price to pay.
wow people get up at nine am? what is that, the uk? here we get up around 5:30-6, south africa. Rush hour starts like at 645-7.
People don't all work the same hours everywhere in the world. Some go to work in the afternoon, evening, or work overnights. I worked overnights for a while and would go to sleep around 6am, wake up at 2pm. 😅
Load More Replies...At least the cat vomits on the floor... mine does it on the bed... gross
Yep, my hubbie told me, my hair is different when being on my head as if being in the sink - cause it's "dead then", he said :-D
Ironic, since the only live part of a hair follicle is the root. ;)
Load More Replies...Don’t ever let men off the hook for hair in the drain, just because the hair on their heads is shorter than ours (in most cases). I have to constantly remind my husband that, even though the hair on his head is way shorter than mine, the hair on his arms, legs, and chest is way longer than mine—-and he sheds way more of it than I shed my long head hair. Plus, when he shaves, he’s washing stubble plus shaving cream down the drain, which contribute a lot to blockages.
We have a hair catcher over the drain that gets emptied after each shower, it's always fuller after him then me despite him having very short hair and I have long.
Load More Replies...I've got really long hair and have always just stuck the fallout from shampoos on the shower wall. An old boyfriend thought it was cute --- 3yrs later it wasn't cute anymore😅
Don't flush hair down the toilet, toss it in the trash. Hair in the plumbing is bad whatever route it takes.
Fun fact: I do sell mobile devices, we had iPhones on black and white only, people asked over and over for the purple one. We did not have any purples, nowadays we do have purples and they are asking for green ones
Load More Replies...Adam and Eve. Tree of knowledge of good and evil. Forbidden fruit. Any of this ring a bell?
I don’t have any tattoos. Not because I’m against them. I just never found a design I liked well enough to have inked into my skin. So, instead of tattooing something on myself that I end up regretting and hating a few years later, I will wait until I find the perfect design that I can fully commit to.
I want some. I just don't have the money. They seem like an expensive luxury to me.
Load More Replies...My daughter, just gave my 4 1/2 years old grandson this hairstyle.
Welcome to No Bitches, the show where we tell you why you get no bitches. But seriously, I've met several really feminine women with tattoos. It's a form of self and artistic expression.
Load More Replies...in africa we find this very strange. A pumpkin has a lot of good nutrients in it and it is delicious if you slice it and bake it with a bit of oil and the skin still on, till it caramelises. This thing of making lanterns and letting them rot is terrible. https://www.lecreuset.co.za/recipes/roasted-pumpkin/
In my family, when carving pumpkins, we scoop all the insides out and use it for baking. We toast the seeds and often make pumpkin muffins.
Load More Replies...I make a lantern, put it out for a hour, take it in and cut it up, bake it, blend it and freeze it.
Pretty common for a pumpkin to be forgotten after Halloween until the next year when leftover seeds mysteriously sprout 🌱
I prefer the cold and yet... smol safe warm bag and meal? Yis please. I think I may be a cat.
In Russia, the "Christmas tree" actually belongs to New Year's Eve. Christmas is celebrated only by Christian-oriented people, on December 24 or rather on January 7 (Russian Orthodox). The decorated Christmas tree belongs to December 31, New Year's Eve and New Year. Burn 2020 is a good idea :)
Decorate the tree, then torch it... Never thought of that, happily.
Reality and common sense go hand in hand Luv you again. Do something on “santa claus”
She isn't popping, she was breeding. And you don't want thousands of man eating monsters in your home
My mom does that! if I pick out an outfit for her...she hates it. If I like it, and go to try it on...
When you feel so fat it feels like you have to stick a whole second person into your clothes. 😩
