Hi you! I’m Prudence and I’m a 26 year old Belgian illustrator who goes by the name Planet Prudence online. You might have seen me around drawing my life on the interwebs.
Many people found bits of themselves in my work and I went from hopping in between jobs struggling with crippling depression to being the author of my own book, illustrating and making comics on a daily basis (still with crippling depression though because that thing still haunts me like crazy).
But okay… well, nowadays I try to manage a webshop, serious jobs, interviews AND my life as an artist trying to make ends meet but loving what I do til the moon and back, so sit back for a whole lot more of those relatable comics of a struggling millennial!

To be honest, i look like male version of the picture on the right every single day.
Nothing makes me angrier than a woman in pads/tampons commercial, wearing white pants. Dude, seriously???
Whenever there's a period commercial on TV, my husband always scoffs and says, "Yeah. Right. Like you're going to do gymnastics when you're bleeding and cramping up." Even normal men can get how stupid these commercials are, so why can't the people who make them stop with the stupidness.
Very true. Even us skinny girls can have a skin flap that folds over when lying or sitting. :)
Ridiculous what girls feel they need to achieve these days. Such a fake world we are beginning to embrace. It’s wrong . Girls should love their healthy bodies and not conform to what the fake tv and social media spew out daily . Wow I’m so sad for Children today.
I've heard that only about 10% of women could ever look like these models. And they don't look like that after they start to age. All these "perfect" women are often fake in some way (PS, surgery, makeup, lighting, posing, etc.). It sells beauty products, but causes unrealistic expectations. What really gets me is the makeovers on older women. They look like they're wearing a mask. I'd rather look like me. :-)
10% sounds high to me. I would have guessed 1%, if even that many.

It's kind of like a reward that we don't want but when we think of how we got it, it was sooo worth it! I know not all women who have had kids have this problem and that's great, but those of us that do need to own it and not think there is anything wrong with us for it! Some women would do anything to have a child and take that after baby body anytime as well!
Load More Replies...Mother and Mother in Law for me. They ruined my simple kindness. Now I am a cynic
Load More Replies...Stay true to yourself and never let them ruin your happiness. Stop relying on your past self and create a better future you.
very true I got bullied horrendously in school not by just Kids but by a few teachers and it ruined my self esteem. I'm working very hard on loving myself for me.
Bad enough when it's other kids. But adults are old enough to know better.
Load More Replies...Thanks for putting the cats b******e in there. Oh and don't ask why I noticed that.
What is this trying to say? Everyone has some days where they don't feel like going out... are you going for the "im special cuz im an introvert!!!111!11"
Me: I'm going to be so productive tomorrow, I might actually get something done! The next day: Nope.
No, this is you in a nutshell:. "how did I get in this shell, what shell would house a nut like me!"
In 10 years she'll be able to draw the same cartoon but change the ages to 27 and 35. As someone who has more than a few decades under my belt, I can say that there isn't a whole lot of difference between the 17 you and the 25 you. Every decade that passes you'll be amazed at just how young you were the decade before.
I was listening to a TED talk about that! Novelty makes us remember our 17 self and every little thing that happens. But each decade has just as much personal growth. I cringe at 25 as much as I did at 15 looking back. Lol!
Load More Replies...I don't need alcohol to have fun! Are people this miserable, and unable to have a good time, laugh and be crazy without a drink? As a young adult, I used to drink for 2 reasons: 1) because I liked the taste or 2) to do like everyone else. Now I rarely drink, and if I do, it's for the taste only, yum yum.
I don't need alcohol at all. Chocolate on the other hand......
And then back to wonderful, shiny and amazing right before you sleep.
I'd said: in front of the mirror one sec before living and just after looking at it, one second after living
Leaving* ? It made the sentence confusing , so I thought I should correct you:)
Load More Replies...That's the morning person's fourth iced coffee of the day, and it's only 9am.
My grandma, queen of all, would slap your finger back to where it belongs.
i have small round eyes which i can magically turn big and almond-shaped with make up :D
Load More Replies...My wife visited me at work. Next morning the office crazy lady, Who always wore heavy makeup, and I were drinking coffee, when she said Kris was lucky that she had never worn any makeup. She went on to say makeup had ruined her own skin so that she had to pile more and more on jut to look descent. Too bad I was too young and had no advice to help her.
Good job, buddy, if it works for you. I using the makeup look the same, but more blurred.
no believe me they are the devil even with a big booty, probably even more. that thong goes to depths that you never even knew existed in your butt crack lol.
Load More Replies...The abosolute BEST! Only had one of the mornings- 30yrs ago I was lost in a city and trying to find my car.. looked FABULOUS as I did it though..
Your comment couldn't be more ironic even if you tried 🙄
Load More Replies...Yep, I've already given up on making wing liner cause it just ends up looking like I got punched in the face xD
Load More Replies...You know... I always thought that ppl are more comfortable with two women kissing then with two men. I wonder why there are'nt two men in this picture too
Right!!! Gingers are not normal and they absolutely don't need to be depicted as such....totally offensive lol
Load More Replies...Most definitely, but my cats would then latch onto your head and the bleeding and screaming would begin
Yes. My cat Taques has the fluffiest belly of doom. He'll kick me with his huge back legs if I cuddle too much.
Load More Replies...Omg! She captured the stupid chunks of hair that won’t lay down on the side of my forehead so perfectly!
I honestly like messy ponytails. Not like matted hair or anything but just a natural messy pony tail is kinda cute. I may also be bias because I have crazy curly hair haha.
I never understood that anyway, even if that did work, it would be super uncomfortable.
Hmm.. I work with waitresses that don't have this problem... And they actually work
um, I'm older than that and it went like the picture on the left!
I moved 8 times in my 20s. Then we settled into a place and didn’t move for ten years. That was the worst move of my life. Declutter people! Ten years of stupid stuff is a lot to go through!
That’s right! If you don’t wanna shave your legs, you don’t have to. Beautiful either way. Anyone who says differently needs to examine their priorities and be more critical of things that matter, not hairy legs. Seriously.
I challenge dudes who care about this s**t to shave their legs every 3 days to keep them smooth. Let's see how much you care about it after a year.
Load More Replies...Didn't have anything to do with hairy legs. Both illustrations bore it..
Why, actually? It's a 100% natural thing to have body hair
Load More Replies...Just push down the real problems real deep, never to be approached
This was me trying to record my audition last night, I gave up because I got too stressed, but I'm trying again today
this isn't only girls. i'm a girl and i know this, so don't go calling me a misogynist or something.
Have totally done this when pushing my boyfriend in a wheelchair, made him hold the crutches out so they were like fins
Some of the best, strongest and most uplifting people I have ever met are wounded soldiers, in the recovery phase. Strong, strong people. Including my daughter. Its really, really hard to feel sorry for them when they have such great attitudes about themselves, make jokes and laugh.
cats are better than babies and I'm allergic to cats!
So true, that's why I don't wear one piece swimsuits, I hate camel toe
Load More Replies...Don’t forget about Vancouver! It’s November and it’s 0 degrees outside rn
Load More Replies...The one on the right is me from spring to fall. In TN, it’s just hot from spring all the way to fall. Then, in winter, it’s a package deal of snow, rain, tornadoes, cold, warm weather, etc...
At 64 I refuse to be idle!! Get up and dance like your hair was on fire!!!
No one expects that...you just bought into the stereotypes that you draw about
..and then complain about both to the next person you hand out with...
Why are you legit replying c**p on every picture when it's meant for women..?
Load More Replies...Wake up the next morning as one of your other posts hating the world
I wish I had small boobs like that, mine aren't big but I'd love to have tiny boobs hahaha (I know I'm weird)
Not weird (at least not in that way). If that's how you feel, best to get it off your chest.
Load More Replies...I don't know which I like most, the stretch marks, or the hairy legs. 00-rolleye...8e475d.gif
Actually yoga is very hard if your not flexible.It's as painful as exercise.
Load More Replies...Who invented the "expectation" side ? That is...scary...weird...off.. what's with having to show her underwear??
I don't think thats what shes getting across in her drawing. And tbh that expectation is a thing because it happens and is portrayed in movies (from LA have experienced both sides)
Load More Replies...Think it's one of those plastic tubes that glow for a few hours once you activate it.
Load More Replies...If I go for one drink I only drink one (especially since i keep an eye on my drink so my friends don't keep refilling it)
Shawn Ruester I don't know how you do it but I need to know your secret!!!
Load More Replies...Oh! thank you!... so that's what bangs are. This poor Australian has been wondering for YEARS what "bangs" are. Here you get bangs from firecrackers. and things crashing together.
Do you call it a fringe over there? I think they do in the UK. I have no idea where the name "bangs" for short forehead hair came from over here
Load More Replies...they sure are when you've been sporting blue hair for 20 years (and counting)
Load More Replies...I think everyone can relate to a few of these lol ... great work , love it .
Love these. As a gay dude i can relate on most of these. I had a good laugh and also helped me feel less alone on a lot of things.
The illustrations where fun and all but that Terry Christopher who took the time to comment every pic was creepy. Get a restraining order!
I always looove your comics! Just followed you on Instagram to get more smiles :)
