When we get a minute to spare, a lot of us simply fire up Netflix and blow it away relaxing. But a 32-year-old who goes by the nickname Scribbly G isn't most of us. Recently, the South African found his evenings not as occupied as before, so he started creating webcomics. Just like that. So while scrolling through the comic strips, remember, the guy achieved all of this in just about a year-and-a-half.

"I'm 32 and started making these funny comics about a year-and-a-half ago," Scribbly G told Bored Panda. "Late start, I know, but my girlfriend started studying again in the evenings and I needed a hobby to cure the boredom."

"I describe my dark comics as very badly drawn and super random," the artist said. "I’m still learning to do cartoon drawings. I think I have the funniness down, but still need a lot more drawing practice before I see myself at least as an OK cartoonist."

The first thing Scribbly G focuses on when he's working on a piece is just trying to make himself laugh. "If I find it funny, I’m pretty sure at least one other person will laugh, and that's a win! I then try to make it not look like the worst comic in the world, nobody wants to be the worst cartoonist, 2nd-worst is fine. When it looks passable as a comic, and makes me laugh, I post it."

When talking about what he loves in others' work, Scribbly G was pretty clear. "I love silent characters, I love silent comics, I'm not good at silent strips yet, but it is something I try to work on," Scribbly G added. "I've always loved silent comics, maybe because I'm a pretty silent dude? Dunno? Oh, and I love Batman, because like, he's Batman!"

Nah. Treat me like a vulnerable person on a bicycle. It's much safer this way.

Over here people tend to like their cars more than other people. The joke is weak nevertheless.

I understand it's illegal but I will not bike on the road with horrible drivers who don't pay attention to simple driving laws. I'm going to continue biking on the sidewalk getting out of the way of pedestrians on foot when necessary. I have been hit three times on a road but zero times on a sidewalk. Until they make sidewalks specifically for bicycles I'm going to continue biking where I am.

Probably because people avoided you. If you collided with them, they'd be hurt more than you. Because of people like you, people walking on the sidewalk need to be more careful. So you're doing to walking people what cars are doing to you.

I think more people in America should ride their bikes often. It's excellent exercise & healthy! Ride to work & back. - then maybe America wouldn't be the fattest country in the world.

We would if we had the space in our cities but we love our cars too much.

Exactly. I‘m a very careful driver, but I‘ve had so many near-accidents because cyclists would suddenly switch between sidewalks, roads and bike lanes without warning. One of the most frequent incidents is that they drive on the road, reach a crosswalk and then simply cross the road there without signaling anything or even looking. I am always extra careful when cyclists are around, but I‘m no visionary.

I heard that there was a name for a law that allows cyclists to use stop signs as yields, if there are no cars around. I don't know if the same law should apply to traffic lights, but if there's there's no danger and the cyclist isn't a nuisance, I guess it's not a big deal. It's hard to gain momentum on a bike, so I totally understand why bikes shouldn't be treated the same as cars.

I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1971, and I have seen bicyclists stop for a stoplight a total of two times. Two!

I've seen cyclists run red lights and ignore traffic signs. I worry that someday I will witness a tragedy.

I always tought that bikes need some regulation, as cars and motorcicles do. Bypassing red lights or not doing stop signals should be ticketed also for them. Ahhh.. and the most important, going with earphones!!!!!!

This cartoon is so true, cyclists on the roads want to be treated as a car until they see a red light

I love to hear about bicyclists dying from their ultra-superiority thinking that they can blow thru stop signs or red lights. Special Darwin awards for them. May they all die painful deaths

Bicycles don't belong on busy roads. When they have to pay excise tax, registration, and get their bike inspected yearly then maybe

Would you like everyone who rides a bike to be in a car in front of you every day?
