A little over a year ago I started drawing comics to help with my depression. Some dark humor poking fun at my own struggles to remind myself to smile, or just stupid jokes that make me laugh. I never really expected them to resonate with other people, but since I've started the support has been a great reminder that I'm not alone in my problems. My sense of humor has always been my first line of defense, and maybe it can help some other people too.
So here's James of No Trades, making my way through life one bad joke at a time. Hopefully I can bring a smile to you as well!

Pets love us unconditionally, but leave us so soon. They teach us more than we will ever, as a species, have the ability to learn.
This is the best love story of the world! Who says you need another human to fill that void?
and me stupidly thinking it's about the pollution of the earth...

I hate when people cancel plans with me BECAUSE I'm an introvert. When socialising requires concentration, and I postponed everything I could do and prepared for you, and you DARE cancel? That's about how it works.

Yup. I had a video go viral recently, and 80% or more of the comments were people ripping it apart, despite knowing nothing about the topic at hand. It was kinda crushing.
Load More Replies...The Internet...there to remind you that someone has done it first, better, made more money from it, and is happier. Don't take it to heart.
This has been my entire experience in graduate school. So sad... Except instead of the internet being disappointed it's been, my professors.
A one eyed puppy named Odin getting rescued and adopted got down votes. What chance do my texts with my insane cousin have?
True... I did Inctober and got a lot of likes on my FB page when I posted my artworks. Posted them on BP and got DOWNVOTES. I was somewhat crushed and am struggling to pick up my pencils again.
Don't believe anything you read on the internet, even this statement.
This is definitely me... I really enjoy customer service wolf because of it too. :p
I feel like my fire alarms do this sometimes to mess with me. Maybe they are actually sentient..?
Ikr. It's like, "Oh hey, you're just making some toast, lemme just make you freak out and think something's on fire then you'll have to climb up onto a chair to silence my annoying beeping." Like no let me make some toast please and thank you.
Load More Replies...Every time something DOES catch on fire in the kitchen, our alarm doesn't go off, but when someone's cooking....
irony being that chickens will eat anything you feed them. including chicken.
One of the weights is "Slytherin"? SLYTHERINS ARE GREAT WHY IS THAT A BAD THING?
We're not evil... We're just misunderstood.... :'(
Load More Replies...I had to make an important call today and it literally took me the whole weekend to prepare for it :P I'm really happy I'm not the only one with intense anxiety about the phone
When i was younger making a simple phone call wasnt anything! now its like pulling teeth from my own skull just to answer the phone, known number or not.........
The opposite for me (thankfully); the more I do it the better at it I become.
Load More Replies...I have always hated phone calls so it is the worst especially if you have some health problems and you should get an appointment to see a doctor. So I don't call and feel worse and worse every day. I don't understand - we are living 2018 and we still we have to make phone calls. Everyone should just start using online services, especially the hospitals.
My doctor's clinic does have online appointment making. But I do NOT want to put my personal info on the net......name address and date of birth. Big nope for me.
Load More Replies...I thought I am the only person in the world who does not like to make phonecalls.. :/
So crazy how many people suffer with this. Then when you're done with it, it was almost nothing. And still you are petrified when you're supposed to do it next time.
Exactly .Whenever it is done it feels like -huh that was it? Easy peasy. Then there is next caLl and again the same delay. Weird
Load More Replies...I always feel super stupid because I have my finger hovering over the call button and I have to get angry with myself and force myself to push the button. Same goes for knocking on doors. I hesitate for way too long.
James Regan THANK YOU !!!! We are not alone. Hold on to that. This might help>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ <<<<< Or maybe a friend might need it some time. This guy also wrote a book about depression that really made the most sense of any book about the subject I have read ( and i have read a LOT )
IT Crowd !!! adore that show. I think it works because so many of us can relate.
Load More Replies...So true brother, so true! We keep running like crazy after money, success and gratification from others. Running like hell to tomorrow and not enjoying today as much as we should to. Hang in there bro and I hope what you do helps you as, I'm pretty sure, it helps others. Having a good sense of humor against bad things of any sort is always good. Much love and hugs
yay i got a award sike u thought u didn,t get that hahaha *crowd* he thought he won something
Lol.Dude...you have the worst life ever. You failed at getting a fail award?
hahahahahah Luna's Team I give you the biggest award fooooooooor that funniest poster!
True, but while some actually try, others sit and whine and make excuses.
Load More Replies...anyone else just not 'into' the whole date/time/year 'thing'? I mean really the only difference between 2017 and 2018 is one second, nothing else in the universe gives a S that that particular second passed.... just an arbitrary label changes.
Yep, I think it's a load of c**p too. And the whole "new year, new me" thing is just ugh. Like anything is going to be drastically different because one day has passed!
Load More Replies...*plot twist* ~Hit's himself in the head then hands it back to the next year~
so why are there lil addresses on the elephant...? Or am I the only one who noticed them..?
Actually cows aren't fully vegans, they eat grass with any bug on it.. also they would happily eat a mouse or baby bird too.. I know, it's a little weird..
hahahahha totally me, no house, no husband, and soon to quit my s****y job to chase my crazy dreams! wish me luck!
Chores, pets if you have them, debts, deadlines... pretty accurate, except the responsibilities bag needs to be bigger
Yep, especially if you throw a husband and kid into the mix.
Load More Replies...For the last time, not all Slytherin are a******s. Just the malfoys and all the other death eaters
As someone with a whole lot of Slytherin friends, I know that most Slytherins are super nice and protective of their friends. "What was that Gryffindor? What'd you say about my little cinnamon roll Hufflepuff? You say that again and imma fricking kill you."
Load More Replies...Guys, EVERY house has its good and bad personalitys, just because so many dark wizards came from Slytherin and Harry Potter doesn't like Slytherin, it also produced some really good wizards and witches, like Severus Snape. AND Harry Potter could have been in Slytherin.
Glad I'm white and can tan well and even impressed the Mexicans in Mexico.
Mine are taught that they will only get things if they are NOT looming over me. It is hilarious to see them with their backs to me, but ears angled to hear for the slightest sound that implies that I am done (and snacks are coming).
