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.”

Because if you shave in the winter, you get itchy dry skin! So you either embrace your inner Sasquatch or live in a vat of lotion. Lol.

I cant stand that even in winter. I gotta be hair free. Hate how it feels but if someone else wants to let theirs grow, I aint judging them.
DancingToMyself 6 years ago
Trust me, that's not true. Some of us hate that feeling. Besides, I'm ballet dancer and there's a laser treatment, so I'm definitely done with having hair on my body. But no judgement, my dear sisters all around the world - have your fun, and on your terms! :D

I love how there's no hair on the thigh. To make it a reality, the bush needs to come out the shorts... I'm not a hairy gal but this is my life. TMI?

Not TMI. I love to hear all opinions and I'm very far from judgemental person.

Because of dry skin?? When I moved into the (AZ) desert 23 years ago, someone WONDERFUL saw my VERY pale skin & NATURAL red hair, and gave me an INCREDIBLE GIFT! They advised me to mix EQUIAL amounts of Almond oil, Caster oil, and extra-EXTRA Virgin Olive oil in container, then after you've finished rinsing off in a warm/hot shower, pour the liquid in on hand to smooth over your entire body while still in the shower. I use it from my face down to the bottoms of my feet, then towel dry once out. I've not developed any wrinkles/lines (or pimples/blemishes) since I started this routine, and my skin is always soft & supple...NEVER OILY or dried...even after a week of the outback/camping/hiking. I'd hate to think of what my skin would look and feel like it I hadn't taken the advise! Let me know if anyone tries it. FYI....Generic Grocery Store brand oils WORK JUST AS WELL AS any Name Brands/Essential Oils I've tried.

Definitely not because of dry skin for me. I don't shave in winter coz I HATE shaving and I don't need to coz no one is gonna see my legs except my hubby and he loves me for me not because I have smooth, hairless legs. He just has to deal with it lol.

My body hair is very light and so fine that it's actually fairly difficult to remove...so I quit shaving over 10 years ago. My boyfriend doesn't care and no one else sees my legs.
debrina blackmoon 6 years ago

I'm a woman and I never get hair on my legs. I don't know why. Is that normal?

I'm not impressed. Unless a guy goes for that kind of thing, most guys like feminine legs. Call me a traditionalist, I don't care.

Sometimes feminist or not, there's no point wasting time shaving in winter xD
Load More Replies...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.

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!

Talking about our weaknesses don't make us any less independent or empowered. And cramps really are debilitating for a lot of women, equal in pain to heart attacks. The fact that we can even deal with them shows how strong we are. I definitely get what you're saying, but women's problems have been hushed for centuries and by talking about them we empower ourselves. Hope this helps :)
