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!

Guys don't seat like this but whatever. I want now a comic about girls taking to seats with their f*****g purses.
A Korean stand up comedian (can't remember who now, I saw it on Gag Concert) once mentioned how girls put their purses and handbands on their knees while sitting in the train. To hide their stomachs. ♥ Ehehehehe Kinda true. For me at least.
Load More Replies...are you guys trying to demonstrate how ignorant you are? Why doesn't he close his legs as though he's, oh I-dont-know, in a public place where everyone has had to actually pay money to get on the ride, so maybe he should respect her space? Oh, but you must be trying to get someone to shove down your throat the phenomenon of men believing that they own the space; and that any woman in it is in their control. That's why she doesn't just f*****g move
Load More Replies...OoOOOoo! This one I relate to! Nothing worse than some jerks taking up way to much space and into my personal space. This is when I wish I was a porcupine and I could eject all my quills out and into them! *L* BA-BAM!
I've thought of inventing a person-sized stud collar with sharp studs, like pit bulls wear sometimes or a jacket with outward facing staples. it's hard to be a petite female in the city
Load More Replies...To be honest I haven't noticed men doing it in my country... I guess in Latvia we are just so scared to enter someone else's personal space and vice versa, that we use that half square meter we sit in and not a cm more! Otherwise, agree with a chick in the comic!
Yes, Guys sit like this on the train on the regular. If you're smart enough to look at the seat delineation, SHE's not sitting close to him. HE's sitting close to her. Are you people really that stupid?
I don't recommend it. The likely response would be the guy throwing your leg back off his and saying "What the F**k Lady?!?!" Any guy that's going to do this is not unaware of how he's taking the space
Load More Replies...Sorry for having something extra between our legs. Ofc it is more comfy and better to spread them, then to squeeze it between our legs, it aint really comfortable.
Sooo, what happens when its only men sitting? Do the manspread over eachother?
Guys sit like that to be comfortable...not to show dominance or anything...
I'd have moved to the left sit right away in the first picture. I'd still be kinda pissed, though. Thinking how it's unfair I have to move because, of all the empty seats, they chose the one next to me to spread themselves. Usurpators!
The point of this is that the woman shouldn't have to move because men are putting themselves in her space. that's why the down votes
Load More Replies...Surely in a situation like that, you'd sit in one of the many vacant seats instead of squished up close to someone.
Seeing as you love d**k so much you really don't know much about 'em! They are between a man's legs, you know. I'd love to take up as little space as some women do with their legs all curled up into eachother BUT I GOT JUNK DOWN THERE. By the way, noone sits like this. Unless you're an a*****e and a******s aren't genderised.
I don’n think thas she’ll do the same wearing short skirt... and barely can believe that her move will not be missunderstood...
You know what I see way often than manspreading on a train? 1 girl taking 3 seats (one for her butt, one for her legs and one for her purse).
As a man, I can honestly say that sitting with my knees close to each other does NOT have any effect on my male parts. And its not because of their size. So I call b******t.
Load More Replies...Why should she have to? He should stay in his own area.
Load More Replies...I hope you are joking. Real men make room no matter how they sacrifice. Squishing the boys for a bus or train ride won't affect sperm production significantly.

i went shopping on amazon the other day, saw a horse I liked so clicked 'add to cart'...
Registration, car payment.....I'm pretty sure the list goes on a little longer
This is how my kids feel on a certain bus route that they will avoid like the plague, lol.
wait....coffee and marshmallows.....why have i never seen this done before?
Why is this titled "girl problems"? Very few of these are girl-specific.
I've honestly grown tired of these "relatable" comics. They have nothing new to add other than the same tiresome joke and it frustrates me that Bored Panda is still promoting this c**p.
