33 New Comics By “Planet Prudence” Showing What Being A Woman Is Like
When the Belgian illustrator Prudence Geerts launched Planet Prudence on Instagram in 2016, she simply wanted a place to document her thoughts and experiences, a visual diary where she could process everything from self-doubt and anxiety to the awkward realities of adulthood. What began as a deeply personal project quickly resonated with hundreds of thousands of readers who saw their own insecurities, frustrations, and everyday triumphs reflected in her honest illustrations.
Over the years Geerts has used her platform to explore topics including body image, mental health, trauma, relationships, feminism, and self-worth, always balancing vulnerability with humor. She has often said that her goal isn't to present a perfect version of life, but to remind people they're not alone in what they're feeling. That philosophy has earned her a devoted global community, one built not only on laughter but also on empathy, openness, and the reassuring idea that our imperfections are often the very things that connect us.
Below, we've gathered some of her latest comics that find humor, honesty, and comfort in the beautifully messy experience of being a woman.

Yeah, this isn't specific to women either, not unless I've been a woman all my life - which I'm pretty sure I haven't been.🕺 🤣

Also this way of getting out is entirely dependent on arm strength and arm length compared to torso.

The wine glass stays but snuggling with my cats is my idea of a good night and I don’t like people

If I can just get to March 1st, my mood improves tenfold. I hate winter with the burning heat of a thousand suns. Which winter doesn’t have. Because winter

At age 47 it finally occurred to me that I've been shaving my legs for society rather than myself. Gonna rock my hairy legs loud and proud!

As someone wise once said, "if you reach haters, it means you're working it." :)

In the second he should be pointing his finger, saying "what was she wearing?", "where was she?", "was she alone?", "what was she doing *there* at *then*?", "what was her socioeconomic background?", etc., etc., etc.

Another issue with advertisers not showing what the design looks like on different body types. But low-rise jeans/trousers are a particularly grim example, because they are flattering on an *extremely* tiny subset of bodies; even many slender-overall bodies can look sausage-like in them.

I think the main rub for these comics is that the title makes you think it's going to be about all women. But it's about this specific woman. I'm sure every woman can see one or two comics here and relate, but also women are unique and different in many ways.

This is true of all art by all artists of all genders, races, ages, s****l preferences, religions, impairments, etc. No-one is likely to relate to *every* piece of work by an artist except that artist themselves. You are often more likely to relate to art made by someone who has multiple things in common with you; but the real joy is looking through a *lot* of different artists' work, and stumbling upon an artist who has way more in common with you than you realized ahead of time. And, even if just 10% of someone's cartoons resonate with me, I still consider the time spent looking through them well-spent!

I guess I get to keep my man card, because I didn't find any of these the least bit funny. In fact, some of them were meant to preach at us, not entertain us.

Vaguely entertaining - thank you. (my irritation is reserved for Instagram - I created an Instagram account, which got suspended inside about ten minutes. What? All I did was look at some pictures on Instagram, which I thought was it was there for - but apparently, that gets you suspended. 🤷♂️ And the 'enter your mobile number for a code' thing to get unsuspended - yeah, no code arrived. FFS. Well, not going to bother with Instagram again, am I?)
