Everyday life is full of awkward little moments, and artist Devin Le not only hast rained his eye to spot them, he knows how to portray them in a totally hilarious way as well. "I started drawing comics during my freshman year of college as a hobby. I needed a long term project to do, and drawing webcomics seemed like a great idea since I was doodling a lot anyway," Devin told Bored Panda. "Some friends recommended that I show my work online, so that’s what I did." Now, Devin has tens of thousands of followers on social media who are constantly waiting for him to update his webcomic series According to Devin.

"I take a lot of my inspiration from Adventure Time, like with the noodle arms on my characters," Devin said. "My earliest comics reflected this style with very tame/PG gags. Over time, I think I was able to exaggerate the comics both in writing and drawing style, while also dealing with more heavy subjects such as mental health."

Devin describes his current comics as 'over the top yet relatable' situations about life and everything else in between. "I like to explore awkward situations. I think those really build character and if I find one that most people can relate to, the comic becomes even better. It’s one of those things where if you can get people to nod then you don’t feel as bad for doing that awkward thing. Especially with social media where everyone is showing their highlight reels, I think there’s a need to show flawed human characteristics."

As his comics were getting more and more popular, Devin began feeling about them differently as well. "I do feel the pressure," he said. "I think when I got more popular and started getting paid to do it, there was a lot of pressure for making comics that attracted larger demographics and hit certain benchmarks. I try to ignore them and focus on the comics."

Now, however, Devin has placed his creative life on hold. "I’m on hiatus because of my busy work schedule. I have a lot more comics drawn on my iPad that I will be posting sometime in the future."

To anyone, I am sorry I don't study and get good grades! I avoid showing people so they don't feel bad in case they studied hard and it didn't pay off!

Many years ago when I was in high school I had class with an overly nerdy overly had to have perfect grades kind of girl. I made a 77 on a very hard biology test. She made a 110. The highest possible grade was a 115. She complained out loud in front of everyone as to why she had points taken off. We were all so happy to know she was accepted into an advanced learning school and moved away after 10th grade. My last 2 years of high school I never had another classmate be that obnoxious. Fin.

I don't understand why people think a middle school B is going to determine their future. So many of my friends break down over a B lol

I hate when people do this stuff. You realize that we all know you actually spent 2 hours studying AND bribed the teacher. (this is a joke for all of you with no sense of humor).

ugh relatable af. One time my teacher was passing back our projects (I got a C) and the kid next to me just shoved his evaluation sheet in my face and said "aw man. I only got an A, I wanted an A+." I just walked away.

I had a classroom-mate in high school who used to wake up at 5-6 am (we enter at 8) and study in his building stairs, so no one would see her studying. Then she would show off of her grades. Her mother also showed off of her so this is how we knew what she was doing.

My friend is like this, she'll beat herself up if her grades aren't in the 90 percentile. There's a big difference between being an arrogant b***h and just having really high expectations for yourself.
