Artist Shelby Miller, AKA Shubbabang, is a self-described dork from Florida who makes hilarious comics.
We Bored Panda think that they are so awesome, we have decided to put together a list of these comic strips for your viewing pleasure! Cute, funny, occasionally neurotic, and even a little dark, shubbabang has a little something for every mood. Speaking to Bored Panda, the comic artist gave a little background to her work and life. “A lot of my inspiration for these webcomics comes from daily things,” she told us. “Sometimes, it'll have to do with anxiety and being an adult, struggling to figure things out, and trying to find some sort of cynical humor, so I don't get completely overwhelmed.”
“Sometimes it'll be about something that's happened in the past, like a funny childhood story, or about things I find frustrating. And sometimes it's from random things I thought of at 2 AM when I SHOULD be sleeping. So I guess I take the inspiration for these funny comics from anywhere I can go in life.”
Shelby began doing her cool drawings back in elementary school, like many of us, starting with stick figures and a few visual stories. However, this cartoonist was one of the lucky few to have real talent, and from 2009 she began to post her funny drawings and comics online tentatively. They slowly gained popularity, as people began to relate to her dry and whimsical humor. She has now been able to quit her jobs in retail (some of her early comics dealt with her time working at Starbucks) and is dedicated full-time to her art. “I haven't thought too far ahead since I'm trying to go day by day and focus on one goal at a time, but I think it'd be cool to have my own book made,” she said about her future plans.
Shelby is aware of the daily struggles that many people go through, and it's easy to empathize with the kinds of situations her characters find themselves in. She is clearly able to connect with her audience on a personal level. “Something I've tried to aim for with a lot of my comics is to make it relatable, try and let people know that they aren't the only ones struggling or having problems,” she told Bored Panda. “I try to steer away from politics and world issues, too, because that stuff can get depressing, in my opinion.”
“From what I've seen and the people I've interacted with, it seems like I have a pretty wide audience range. Which is good, it means I'm making comics that most people can find humor in, so it means I'm doing what I set out to do.”

"My card was declined f****r, hear that? Now is there a reason I can't buy a f*****g new one, or am I just hanging onto a piece of s**t for no reason?"
And that's the moment you call the ghostbusters and have a long talk about your self-aware bathroom mirror
Sounds familiar to me. Even if the small mistake happened 20 years ago.
In fourth grade I needed glasses. The teacher wrote a problem on the board and I couldn't see it, so I didn't raise my hand. The teacher called on me anyways despite the other kids with their hands raised. I told her I didn't have the answer yet so she said we'd wait. I sat there staring blankly at the board and squinting. Taking a guess at the numbers, I figured out the problem with completely different numbers, and when I gave my answer the teacher was super confused as to what my mistake was.
In fourth grade my teacher was like "Just come over and tell me if I marked any questions wrong that were right," and I ended up spelling 'government' right and she said it was wrong.. I never went up to tell her that and I would've got a 100% if I would have told her.. I'm in ninth grade now and I still regret it... -_- ; - ;
I remember tripping on a rock during a sprint for the goal back when I played soccer. Still haunts me. lol
Tell your best friends of such "mistakes". As I experienced they will tell their owns and at the end you will laugh about it. Because it helps to recognize nobody's perfect; it happens to all of us once a while but it is not the end of the world
Two years ago I wrote "cue" instead of "queue" in an email and still think about it.
I'm sorry you lost both your cats. This one really hit me hard because (among other bad things) one of my kitties also suddenly died. :_( That was in June, and in late November we adopted a kitten from the shelter and she's the cuddliest thing ever. <3
Dont forget the outburst of hot steam right after the freezing....
They actualy expose their bellies to us to show their trust and affection but don´t really want us to touch it
watching tv in silence.. ok... eat and drink in silence... ok...starring at the wall in silence... ok... picking up your phone.... always on the phone
With female characters, it's usually the opposite. 45 year old that looks early twenties at most while a guy the same age looks 60 or so.
Romaaaaaaaaance ;-; the harder version of giving a character a tragic past
I used to be an adventurer like you...THEN I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE
I'm writing a booooook and I added romaaaaance to make things interestiiiiiiiiing but now it's haaaaaaaaaard ;-;
Lack of co-operation is b******t! But so is having Sera instead of best boy Cole.
