Comics not only help us to have a better view of today's society, but they are also a way to laugh at the absurdity or silliness of our lives. Jauneil Arvin Ma-ao, also known as the idiot of the east, is a Filipino artist who has the talent to turn familiar life situations into humorous illustrations. He creates funny and relatable comics that entertain more than 16,000 of his followers on Instagram!

The artist gets a lot of inspiration from memes, anime, popular movies, and TV shows and that's visible in his work. A lot of his comics include well-known characters from movies or animations, making the illustrations even more relatable to the audience.

Bored Panda got in touch with Jauneil again to get to know a bit more about him. We asked what he would like for people to take away from his comics. The artist replied that he would like to remind people to laugh at the simple, stupid things that used to make them laugh when they were kids.

I said this to my mum and she just laughed at me. Then again, Thor actually looks like Odin meanwhile his siblings don’t.

The artist also has some upcoming projects, such as a dedicated webcomic series called “Reaper King”, but first Jauneil will try to set up his Twitch so that he can share with people how he makes his webcomics and artwork. So stay tuned!

For those who aspire to become comic artists one day, Jauneil has some advice! "Have confidence in your work and try to share your creations on various social media and websites!"

Is there any consensus on whether the post of a traffic light counts as part of the traffic light in this little test?

I know of two families who got their cat this way! Cat turned up and eventually decided she (both were female) wanted to stay there. And I think both (don't quite remember for one of them) ended up with the amazingly imaginative name of "cat" because, by the time the families realized they now owned a cat, they had been talking about "cat" so often that the name simply stuck.

I'm of the firm belief that if your pet keeps staring at part of the wall, you should definitely check behind that wall - especially if it's not a solid brick wall. Most mammals have better hearing and smell than us humans...

There is no need to kill baby Hitler. Just tell him his art is worth his weigh in gold so he gets into art school.
