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

I am happy that I don't work at any office because I usually sit in very weird positions at a computer. I have fallen off the chair multiple times. :D

I'm happy I don't work in an office because if my bosses had to see my facial expressions and handgestures while I'm on the phone with a tricky customer I'd be fired XD

My problem is that I like to sit with my legs hanging over my shoulders on to my desk, but I do it without realising, and always freak out my teachers.

I have been working in an office for some time now and I still haven´t figured out how to sit. I manage to stay in the proper posture for like 5 minutes.

Sounds familiar to me. Even if the small mistake happened 20 years ago.

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

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.

Using the same kind of logic: you shouldn't eat, because there are obese people in Europe, North America etc...
