Webcomics are some of the most entertaining content on the internet, so when I find some good ones, I'm eager to share.
Ariane is a 24-year-old artist from Paris, France, and she's the one behind the hilarious comics of ari_stocrate. The illustrator has been drawing since childhood and started comics in her teen years. "I experimented in high school, but it was really bad," she told Bored Panda. "I really got into it last year and even more in last November when I discovered digital drawing which upped my game instantly."
"I get my ideas from small Peruvians I keep in my basement who work day and night to find the best jokes… and also real life. My all-time inspiration is Garfield of course!"
And what about her medium? Does she start drawing on paper or are the comics digital from the start? "All digital baby! Way better than paper. I hate paper. My home is paper free. And also pepper free. That last statement is false. I love pepper. What was the question again?"
Lots of truly fun situations that Ariane draws about in her comics involve her cat, Jasper. "My cat Jasper comes from the planet Cathar where he was discovered to be force sensitive," jokes the artist. "But the empire declared him too powerful and put a bounty on his head, which is why he had to exile to planet Earth, he loves it here but he misses death sticks a bit."
Lately, Ari's comics have been gaining more and more traction and the artist encourages everyone who would like to create cartoons, to give them a try. "The best thing is anyone can do it, you don’t have to be Michael-Angelo to draw comic strips, the important part is the joke, not the art per se. The worst thing is some people don’t understand the minimalistic approach in comic strips for the joke to work and will criticize the art as if you were drawing a graphic novel. But trust me, drastic changes of angles and poses with too much-added details spoils the comedy timing and you end up with a weird unfunny chimera between two genres. I've seen this, I've done this, you don’t want this."

My dad. I quit eating pork and pork by-products when I was 12. Dad is still the pork police when we go out.
The most notes I get on my writing is for 1. an abject porn piece I wrote for no reason and 2. a piece I wrote in one night based on a story a friend told me and didn't really bother to edit. My novel-length series that I researched for month, even interviewed people? A fraction of the notes (altho, the people who enjoy it leave more specific and thoughtful responses).
That's how Trump got elected. More people relate to money, sex, and violence, than walls of text and thinking for themselves.

Yeah. But misspell something and see the million of comments that you'll get. Or, dare to say that Star Trek is better than Star Wars and pity on the flames that you'll get.

Simple: draw crappy works so people can like it. It's not worth it to work so hard on something just to be ignore, troll or bash.
Hey bored panda. you can just scrap the "tweet" function. I want to tweet ONE of these, not the whole thing. C**p.
YEEEEEEES RIGHT ON!! Every time. I've spent a half hour on a drawing, gotten tons of likes. The I spend 40 hours on one - not a single like.
Listen, if you can't talk about poop with friends they're clearly not your friends.
YES I HATE WHEN THE SUN IS RLY BRIGHT I LOVE THE RAIN IM THE LITERAL RAIN WOMAN. *sees sunlight* HISSSSSS
I really love pasta, but I'm not too patient to boil it. Anyone have suggestions?
these are great comics. very funny. but i REALLY feel they didn't need to include the artist was vegan. you put that in the title as the very first thing it makes it seem like they are vegan first artist second. or they are an artist about being vegan. WHICH CLEARLY ISN'T THE CASE! they are an artist who happens to be a vegan. lets give them the respect the deserve without using their life choice as a selling point.
I can't say as I got all these, but then again, they weren't my age demographic. STILL, they were cute!
I loved them! I can't believe people look at stuff like this then leave negative comments, it's so strange and unnecessary.

So why do we care that the artist is a vegan? She's a good cartoonist, her life is none of our business. .... I guess it's true. You never have to ask if someone's a vegan, they'll tell you before you even meet them.
Not always true. My family and I (other than one of my brothers) try only mention being vegan when it comes up or someone asks why we are not eating something. But I did just mention me being vegan so I might have also proved myself wrong... Anyway, just please don't judge ALL vegans because some are annoying.

There are two, EXACTLY TWO, comic pick where veganism is mentioned. Even an artist does not mention it as an important fact. Why is it important to say that she is vegan?
So a vegan, a guy who just quit from his job to do art and an instagram celebrity post his/her works on bored panda. Which one will put it in the title first? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Vegans can draw comics?? who knew?? I am not sure why BP has to add clickbait titles to everything, is it just because other sites steal entire posts and are too lazy to even change the titles? But, I'm sure the next article will blow my mind, will astonish me and break the internet......sigh
you can't believe how i will respond to this comment,it will be hilarious and make you think

At first I was confused and thought the comic was more directed towards vegans and was discouraged to read. Glad I did, but had to comment that this specific choice was mentioned once or twice. Bad marketing.
So, like two of these are about veganism.. I wonder why they put VEGAN in the title. I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder.
Who the f**k cares if she's a vegan or not? This is clearly click-bait! :-(
bud, the artist didnt post this comic or title it "vegan artist" this "vegan" did nothing wrong.

"I'm actually fairly awesome in real life." LOL. People who say that about themselves usually are! Sorry kid, but anyone who acts like you online is literally incapable of being awesome. You're a f*****g douche.
