You can't run away from your problems. But you can at least poke fun at them! 31-year-old Russian artist Anastasia 'Stushona' Ivanova tackles her daily struggles in amusing comics, and her creative outlet seems to be easily overcoming the annoying little things.

Stushona has a background in illustration but has been drawing comics for only 8 months now. "The character is my alter ego," she told Bored Panda. "It's a reflective girl who finds non-standard ways of solving problems."

"I draw topics that bother me," she said. "Through comics, I express my attitude towards the world. [I believe that] self-irony is the best way to deal with troubles."

When there's no inspiration, Anastasia claims she travels or turns to her friends, borrowing their experiences for her works. "I have offended them in my comics," the Chelyabinsk-based artist confessed. Scroll down to check out her amusing strips and upvote your favorites!

I wish some people would learn better manners when using phones or tablets. There is a time and place for everything.

I really hate when people do this. I've had a friend invite me over to his house and then play on the phone the ENTIRE time I was there. WHY AM I AT YOUR HOUSE IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO IGNORE ME FOR YOUR PHONE!?

The best way to get someone's attention if they're doing this is to just leave and not hang out again.

Wait, first I read an article that phones are a women thing, now they are for men? The internet is confusing...

Cat's hair has a magic power of ending up in every food you eat regardless of where the cat is.

The only problem is that they’re only on one arm (unless you’re ambidextrous).
