30 Women’s Everyday Problems That Perfectly Sum Up Life As A 21st Century Woman
Interview With Artist
"Romanian-Canadian artist and lazy fairy." This is how Cassandra Calin describes herself and it's kinda fitting. The well-known cartoonist, illustrator, and graphic designer is based in Montreal, Canada. She talks about her everyday life, personal experiences, and first world problems in witty and funny comics that many people from around the world relate to.
The artist's cartoon drawings are hand-drawn using Pigma Micron Pens (005 and 01) and a Sharpie permanent marker with Chisel Tip. Each drawing idea can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to create, depending on how detailed it is.
Take a look at some of her newest highly relatable comics below and make sure to follow the artist if you liked her work! Be sure to upvote these cute comics and share with your friends if you know they love cartoons and good humor. Bored Panda talked to Cassandra about her webcomics and her art, so make sure to scroll down for the full interview. And also check out our previous articles about Cassandra here, here, and here. Oh, and here as well.

“From a very young age, I wanted to become an artist,” Cassandra said there was barely any doubt about her future. “When I was a toddler, I scribbled on my parents' furniture and, ever since that day, I just drew all the time.”
She joked: “But of course, I had to quickly switch to drawing on paper, for my parents' own sanity.”
"The challenge is having to get out of my comfort zone. I used to only draw people and willingly avoid backgrounds, because they took too much time and dedication. But when you draw comics, unfortunately you can't always avoid them,” the artist revealed what she finds difficult to do.
“The most enjoyable aspect? Drawing people. I love drawing faces, facial expressions, clothing and, as it probably shows, hair!”
Cassandra share some advice with those artists and cartoonists who are struggling with their work: “I think social media is a great way to build and connect to an audience. But don't stress on creating solely what's considered "safe" or "trending" (because trends change so quickly anyway), but instead do what you genuinely enjoy.”
She went on to say that building a large audience isn’t easy and won’t happen overnight. “I think it's nice to shift the focus from "having x, y, z followers" to "taking this opportunity to build an online portfolio". Create for the simple purpose of creating, learning and improving. As cliché as this sounds, if you're having fun in the process and it doesn't feel like a chore, you're doing it right!”

Welcome to Canada! I start hibernation with the first flake as well :D
According to the freelance illustrator, the webcomic series Cassandra Comics is semi-autobiographical, borrowing some aspects and experiences from her own life.
However, her comics are far from the only thing that Cassandra does in life. Cassandra the artist is well-known throughout the industry. Among the people and organizations she’s worked with are: CollegeHumor, Simon & Schuster, Mattel, Les editions les Malins, BOOM! Studios, etc.

i can relate, my legs requires shaving daily while head hair grows 1cm/year
What’s more, the Romanian-Canadian is the author of the Still Just Kidding graphic novel. She also sells art prints on Society6, a website known for its artistic and creative crowd.
Cassandra’s popularity is not to be understated. She has nearly 2 million followers on Instagram and almost the same amount of fans on Facebook. It’s no wonder because her art is very pleasing to the eye.
Dear Pandas, what do you think of Cassandra’s comics and artwork? Which of her cartoons made you smile and chuckle? Share your thoughts with us in the comments and maybe even drop a word or two for Cassandra if she’s reading.

My company in a nutshell. Each of us receives approximately 100 e-mails per day, twice as much on busy days. After every vacation I take, I know more or leas which number to expect in my work inbox. Then I have to filter out and separate the e-mails that concern my role, and suddenly it's almost empty again.

Because walking around with a sandwich board saying "Go away, I want to be left alone" is socially unacceptable... for some reason.

These are wonderful. But who the f**k wrote this condescending BS:" Cassandra’s popularity is not to be understated. She has nearly 2 million followers on Instagram and almost the same amount of fans on Facebook. It’s no wonder because her art is very pleasing to the eye."???? Pleasing to the eye because she has mayn followers? She is talented and has been at her craft for years. And her style ist not pleasing to the eye, it's distinct, well drawn and funny.

Nice artwork, but am I the only one getting exhausted with all these "oh, sorry me, woman problems...." cartoons? Not really promoting the idea that women are independent, and just as strong as men. Oh, cramps... I am debilitated. Just me? Sorry to be a grump, just not a fan of the message. You never see men making cartoons about how their nuts don't hang straight or they think about sex every 2.7 seconds. Okay, I guess I am just a grump. Really talented artist though!
