Some comics are more relatable than others and these comics perfectly fit the first group.
Clare Kayden Hines is an artist from California who shares her observations about crazy, strange, mundane scenarios of everyday life in a form of achingly relatable comics.
Clare started drawing at a very young age. "I started drawing after I got my first dog, Buttercup," she told Bored Panda. "I was 5 and I was so obsessed with her that all I wanted to do was draw her on every piece of paper I could find. I eventually expanded to drawing other subjects beyond dogs. I’ve taken a few drawing classes, but in general, I just doodled and drew for fun… mostly during class or boring meetings. Probably way too much. My classmates started noticing me drawing in class and would ask me to draw pictures of their dogs for them!"
When asked about the start of the webcomics series, she explained that she's quite new to the comic artist game. "I’d never done a “true” comic until I started this account in October 2017. I was working at a large tech company and felt starved for a creative outlet. I dreamt up an illustrated alter ego, Kayden Hines, who reflected the tension I felt between doing everything I was “supposed” to do, and my growing resistance to doing so."
"I started illustrating Kayden as she went through various awkward, ridiculous, mundane, and funny situations of life. There’s something so funny to me about our constant battles with ourselves to be functioning human beings. It’s like our brains are constantly at war with our sloth-like selves to get stuff done."
And what's the best and worst thing about drawing these funny comics? "The hardest part is definitely when I have a drawing idea or concept in my head, but I don’t have the technical skills or ability to make the cartoon drawings look how I want," Clare explained. "It can feel very frustrating! The best part for me is making people laugh and having them see some part of themselves in my comics. I love that I can take an insane thought or observation that exists in my head, turn it into something tangible, and put it out in the world. Seeing people say they relate to my work or that they share similar experiences is such a cool feeling and makes me feel less alone in this crazy world!"
The author shared the importance of the cool drawings to her by saying "it is my way of finding humor in the most mundane aspects of life, and making them universal and relatable. My goal—beyond my account being a creative outlet for me—is to make people feel less “alone” by seeing themselves in my posts."

Ive once had a similar flight from the City to Munich - a 737 with only 6 passengers on board. We just sat down with the crew (everyone their own tow) and all took a nap (it was an early morning flight). Best. Flight. Ever!
Load More Replies...Try riding a Greyhound Bus. What a nightmare! Every seat filled, packed in like sardines. Then you have people holding little kids in their laps, carryon packing the ailes, 5 minute rest stops for 20 women to go to the bathroom. Just like a plane travel (haha) except for the carryon and the 5 minute break.
Been there. Greatest service I ever had on a flight. 9 people + crew on the jumbo jet flight.
I wouldn't want to sit next to anybody with a head three times as big as mine anyway
You don't get this in Australia, your seat gets assigned to you and if you don't like it...TOO BAD!
lol this is too relatable. It once happened though where the mom and crying baby sat beside me. WORSE FLIGHT EVER.
And then a darn New Zealand woman changes seats, and says, “ you don’t mind, do you” . Yes, kiwi, I do.
He's making a list, checking it twice, trying to find out who's naughty or nice. Santa Claus.... is in direct contravention of EU GDPR policy.
Load More Replies...Find this with pears as well. Have two in my kitchen right now - I probably should be watching them.
lol I've done that twice as well...in my teen years. Don't regret it either, lol
Load More Replies...YES ALWAYS AND then the other person is like what are you looking at
The other person is looking at her/himself, too =8O
Load More Replies...Nah. I always look at the other person. why the heck would I look at myself while talking to someone else?
That's why you position the pic at the top so it appears you're looking at the camera when you're really looking at yourself lmao!
Replace "I wish I wasn't tripping so hard" with "Man, I love tripping... talking pasta is awesome!"
Load More Replies...I always think dogs sleep because they're bored and have nothing else to do. Not because they especially want to do that all day. They can't read a book, go out if they feel like it, or anything. Make their own fun and they get told off. That's why the walk is so damn exciting - it's all so many owners offer them in the way of entertainment.
Every time, when I look at my dog I have exactly the same thought :)
Dogs and cats have the opportunity to sleep as much as they can without any consequences. Sometimes it makes me jealous :-)
I'm #2, #3 is also okay, but wherever I see #1 I can't resist to turn it to #2.
I heard in Australia they do it like n.1 because spiders can hide underneath otherwise, and you wouldn't want to mess with Australian spiders. But I might be wrong, so feedback from someone in Australia would be vwey appreciated.
Load More Replies...If you own a cat you’re going to be #1, or you’ll end up as #3 when they scatter it all over the floor 😸
I have them now, but my wife can't hear me because she's also having them. (And we still have to do the things.)
I find phone calls so much faster. Email back and forth for days when a quick 5 mins phone call sorts it.
lol..I can relate to this..I will not talk to people on phone unless I absolutely can not avoid it..after having a business and dealing with customers over the phone I just can`t do it anymore...
A few times at work my manager has asked me to call the customer instead of email.. Sometimes I have to call, but mostly I just email them, get the answer I want/need and just say to manager "oh yes I did call them."
I just have one and set it to snooze so it repeats every 5 minutes. But recently I've been keeping my phone on charge overnight on the opposite side of the room so I have to get out of bed to turn it off (although quite often I make the mistake of going back to bed for a "rest")
I have different alarms for different days to allow for traffic and the daily life things that happen in different days. Hmm...
hahaha me on the left my hubby on the right and I want to punch him every day lol (He gets up two hours before me.)
Oh I wish i needed an alarm for 7:45. My day starts at least two hours earlier
@Alyson- you must be my soul sister! Pets before Peeps!
Load More Replies...My pics were mostly all of my fatty pug until I got my Great Nephew (no I'm not even 40, but have a 17 year old nephew who has a baby now) he is my best little buddy. Our fat pup knows it as well and has become super protective of him because she knows her bi-ped momma loves the non fur baby... so it depends on who's being cuter at the moment.
I live in a hot climate in summer, so most people I know have problems if they don't drink gallons of fresh icy water.
Load More Replies...The focus is really liquids. Water is best, but other liquids (milk, juice) also count. The idea is to stay hydrated, but her diuretics (coffee, wine) are still okay, so long as she makes up for them with other liquids. btw, I realize this is a funny comic...
Yes, cuz wine is a liquid and beer has water as one of the 4 main ingredients...so...yes, I will continue to focus on the liquids. Thank you for the validation!!!
Load More Replies...It's probably the flavor (or lack of) that keeps me away, a few big squirts of Mio and water is suddenly THE S**T.
The "8 glasses of water a day" is b******t. You get fluids from food and other drinks. It also depends on how much you physically work and exercise, how much you sweat, what the weather is like...Generally, you should drink when you're thirsty and your body knows when you need extra fluids. Unless you're old (or sick). THAT's when you should be careful and monitor your fluid intake.
This wasn't meant as a critic of the illustration, but as a critic of a health myth.
Load More Replies...especially hard to drink all that water if you're out in public and have to pee all the time
change the coffee and wine to hot chocolate/iced chocolate/choc milk and fizzy and it's the story of my life

When my desktop is full of icons, I create a new folder called "DESKTOP" and move all icons there. I am a problem solver, you are welome :D

I hate it when people just continue to complain the wifi is down. I'd hate to see them in my shoes then.
I don't have internet outside the house and it's so great. My Batterie stay longer and nobody disturb my peace with 300 messages small talk because they are bored and think you are a entertainer.
I've seen research that men lie than women when asked this question.
That's COMPLETELY unrealistic! 5 continuous minutes of confidence, yeah right! 😋
For advanced: go grocery shopping full but thirsty. Try it. You'll only buy clean food.
I like that in the 2nd pic, the only healthy thing is the bananas XD
Yep, that's Earl. I can tell from that little nick right there. I was with him when it happened. Try knocking again.

I always ask which way somebody's going when I feel like it's time to say goodbye, just to avoid the awkwardness
hahaha I deliberately hung back the other day so I could walk in the same direction after I said goodbye to someone!
Really why it's so discomfort? What people should do in such situation? Start conversation again? No. So why it's so discomforting?????
They have already said goodbye, and can't think of anything new to talk about?

Sadly this doesn't work with the newer plastic toothpaste tubes. It's really frustrating.
When people do #1 it REALLY irritates me - I mean, what do you have to do to get your toothpaste like that? Are you taking your anger out on it? Stamping on it? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

Load More Replies...I honestly don't understand peeing in the shower. I know it's supposed to save water, but as I live in Norway, it's never been a consideration. It just seems... Well, I don't think I'd feel completely clean afterwards. (Obviously incorrect, but still).
I live in Canada, and I can't understand it either. Doesn't it make the shower / bathtub dirty? Also... I'd feel like I was peeing on the floor >__> No thanks.
Load More Replies...Th each his/her own on this subject. Personally it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I pee wherever I feel like it.
Until a about 10 years ago I didn't realize anyone actually did this- Seriously the thought never crossed my mind and I'm 47. I don't care how much water washes it down my tub would never seem clean to me again ; (
I would add 60% of time scrubbing the oily residue on plastic tupperware that never fully comes off!
How about everyone consider it, not just women. We aren’t always the one who can’t keep their mouth shut. 🙂

Meh, I still buy actual things as presents for my targets. That's just how I am.
1) go to sleep earlier. 2)open the bag, dump all the things in the middle of the house, you're forced to clean up sooner or later. 3)cauliflower pizza, keto pizza. 4)go for the series, they keep you occupied until a better series comes .
1) that will only result in staring at the ceiling longer. 2) that will result in a mountain of stuff in the middle of the house, laying there for weeks. 3) that's not pizza. 4) I've watched all the series I wanted on Netflix. Now waiting for new series/seasons. Now what?

I could not possibly care less about Lindsay Lohan
I too do my skin routine after my shower at night (easier while hair is up in a towel) and experience the dreaded gothic zombie eyes.
maybe you should put on makeup after you get out of the shower?
I shower before at night, before bed. Why would someone put make up on before going to bed?

While Clare Kayden Hines uses her creative outlet to find humor in everyday life through her comics, you might be reminded of how laughter can transform the mundane when you explore some light-hearted jokes about a sweet treat. Just like Clare aims to see the humor in life's ordinary moments, some jokes can add a sprinkle of fun, too.
