Hello Bored Panda! I’m a Boston-based writer and artist who posts comics online for random strangers on the internet. I always dreamed of being a cartoonist when I was little, so last year I decided to give it a shot — and now I’m finally doing it!

Here are some of my favorite comics I've drawn this year, so far.

For more of my comics on Bored Panda, see parts 1 & 2.

So as I mentioned, I’m currently working on a little series about Moongirl, the obnoxious free spirit we all hate. She’s the sort of person who calls herself a 'soulpreneur' or an 'empath' or whatnot. Just kind of a bummer, you know what I mean? But I think that specific kind of internet personality is hilarious, so I’m developing a whole series of comics around her — and I’m really happy with how it’s turning out!

I would make a comment about how relatable this is, but I'm worried someone might be mad at me for it

When it comes to my comics overall, well, this is the third part already but it actually took many months of work before I had any art I felt half-decent about sharing. I think the main thing that kept me pushing myself to keep doing it was watching each comic improve very slightly over the last one.

This one hits the bullseye! Those who yell the hardest are usually exactly what they condemn.

At any given time, I have 100+ ideas jotted down in my notes for future comics. If I’m feeling excited about an idea, I try to get it sketched out pretty quickly, otherwise, it often joins that ongoing void of ideas I may never get around to fleshing out.

My memory is terrible — I have to write down ideas the moment I have them, otherwise, they’ll be lost to the ether. Sometimes I can’t even remember the nonsense I write down in the first place. What does “Tulsa bridge thing” mean, Rusty? The world may never know.

One of my favorite topics to explore has always been the way people interact on the internet. I post comics to Reddit pretty regularly, and Reddit more than any other social network really seems to exacerbate the Very Online ways people interact with each other — and I love it.

Yeah, whenever conservatives call people snowflakes I'm like.....ok......sure.....YOU'RE mad about ME being trans, you're losing it over "woke M&Ms", but the "liberals" are snowflakes? Honey, the call is coming from inside the house.

I personally hate pronouns. Don't understand them, don't like them. I skipped second grade reading class, like a boss. I also hate gay people!

Agreed. Pronouns are evil. Monday thinks pronouns are a tool the illuminati uses to try and control Monday and other people. Monday thinks all Monday's friends need to throw the evil pronouns away! Stand with Monday! /s

Snowflakes are beautiful. They shimmer in moonlight. They fall so softly you can’t hear them. Yet their power in numbers can close roads and schools bring everything to a halt. ❄️

So many snowflakes wearing red hats these days. And unfortunately their power in numbers is also shutting down libraries and schools and bringing education to a halt.

This is, easily, the most accurate cartoon in this list. It's insane. "Look at those fragile woke people hahaha"; "I'd like you to call me they/them"; "Wah jesus it's unbelievable what is this world coming to bring me my guns n ammo magazine so I can feel safe"

Hot take: I think Liberals and Conservatives both suck, because rather than try to find solutions to problems, they would rather point the finger at one another while adamantly screaming 'It's their fault!' despite both having dropped the ball numerous times throughout the years.

Lol. I find all these people butt hurt over pronouns just ridiculous. I mean it's just common courtesy. If a guy named Robert preferred to go by Bob, would you just continue to call him Robert bc that was the name he was given at birth? If you did, you'd able a grade A asswipe. Well guess what. The same applies to people's chosen pronouns. Don't be an asswipe, just be polite.

I think you’re confusing Biden and trump. Biden never met with a kkk member? I won’t downvote you cuz you’re probably just confused, but still. Google is your best friend

Everyone obviously has pronouns, it’s when they make sure to tell you 50000 times that it gets annoying EDIT: It’s not that I get their pronouns wrong and have to be reminded, some of my friends just say them every chance they get

"their" is a pronoun. So close, but at least you're using neutral pronouns.

It's the policing of speech and thoughts the problem. You want people to use your made up pronouns? They will do it if they want to, not because of a law.

It’s just called respect. You have to respect when people use different pronouns. And there’s no policing going on. People will get mad, but no one can actually do anything. You have free speech, you just also have free consequences :)

Who wouldn't vote for a supremist? That sounds kind of awesome. Or are you fighting spellcheck along with progress?

Every non-binary woman I know is a r*pe victim, there's no such thing as such. I highly suggest people look up the video "how the trans agenda destroys human life and Common Sense" by Matt walsh, I know y'all are cringing out of your skin just hearing his name, but he actually said some very compassionate things about lgbtq people. He's the father figure you people need, seriously.

I like that every sentence ends with a . I read it so unexcitedly in my head (is there such a word unexcitedly?)

To be fair, the higher you go, the less work you need to do, so it does make sense.. why not?

It's so weird to me that we can make fun of people who believe in astrology but we can't make fun of people who believe in god. Your sky daddy is someone else's astrology. 🤷🏻‍♀️
