Am I the only one who has weird cats that DON'T prefer wet food? Oh, they get all excited about cans opening - mainly my cans of chicken or tuna - but when I put wet food in front of them, they nibble, look at me, then leave. Dry food, however, turns into stampede-and-gobble time. 🙄😸

All cats are different. Most I know love wet food as it seems a treat for them because they have dry food all the time.

Bored Panda reached out to Matt, who told us more about himself: “I’m originally from Northern Virginia, and I moved to New York over a decade ago to follow my dreams of making tons of money drawing cartoons. I was a performer at the UCB Theater before the pandemic crushed live theater. Now I’m just trying to get by and figure out what’s next.”

We were curious about what drew Matt to the world of cartooning. The artist explained: “Mostly still just chasing that high from childhood where people told me they liked my stuff. Cartoons are also just fun to look at. Maybe my brain is bad but it’s so much more fun to read comics.”

This is why bulldogs and the like are beginning to be banned over in the UK and such. It's not fair for the dogs. Same thing with Persian cats and sphynxes. We breed them cuz "ThEy'Re CuTe!" but they come with miserable lives. (Sphynxes can live happy and fulfilling lives but holy s**t do they need a lot of work to do so.)

I love how all the comments are proving this comic's point. Give it a rest, buzzkills.
Matt also shared a bit about his creative process of creating cartoons: “Sometimes I’ll write 4 months' worth of comics in a week and then have no good ideas for 6 months. Sometimes it just feels like dowsing for that magic spot where your brain is free and unhinged. I try to take inspiration from life. For example, if I’m doing something mundane I might think 'What if something interesting was happening instead?'”

Matt’s cartooning style definitely looks very well made. We asked the artist to share one piece of advice he’d give to aspiring artists looking to find their unique style or voice in the art world.
“The best piece of advice is just to keep practicing and follow through on the work. You’ll get better over time. I’m sorry to anyone who is young and hates that answer. I hated it too. I know you want the secret that makes you good and successful immediately but it doesn’t exist! I’m still trying to get better too!” responded Matt.

I know this a joke and all but....if you're brushing regularly and still have bleeding gums. You're not brushing *right*. Try brushing you gums instead of your teeth. That bleeding is an inflammatory response from all the bacteria hiding out between your gums and teeth. So if you're always bleeding, even if you're brushing, you're missing the bacteria that cause that inflammation. Look up a few videos online, the American Dental Association should have some floating around online somewhere.

The artist also humorously explained what he would like audiences to take away from his cartoons.“I want them to think 'Wow, this is so smart and good'. Then I want them to share my comics with their rich and powerful friends who can hook me up with paid opportunities! But at the very least, I would hope that reading them makes you chuckle and whisper under your breath, 'So true',” wrote Matt.

Haha, self care is dumb and for babies, right?! Or maybe… not drinking water, not exercising, not eating healthy, not practicing mindfulness, and only staring at your phone is the majority of the problem. Mental health isn’t just a scapegoat to be lazy, it’s an obstacle to be faced head on. Will you fall on your face sometimes? Yes. Bad days? Yes. Does that mean give up? Maybe for a day, but you get up and keep going. I for one at done babysitting adult children who won’t own their mental health. You don’t need a hero, you need a change of attitude.

Exactly. I got on an anti-depressant for the first time at 32, having suffered with depression and anxiety. It's not a magic cure-all, but it's helped substantially with my chemical imbalance.

My thought on death is this: it's not reincarnation, but our conscious wakes up again and we're living once more. Time is irrelevant, you are born at just some point as some thing and you're suddenly active once more. Doesn't matter what you do in this life. You'll be there again.

The simplified zodiac sun sign system was a way of giving people an easy way to understand astrology. But astrology is an ancient system with a vast in depth method for people to study themselves in relation to our planet's ever changing orientation in our solar system and galaxy as referenced in the night sky. The compilation of knowledge is constantly being evolved and added to over generations and through many different civilizations of people. It is more of a journey into the self than any religion and most spiritual practices. Ok I'm done. Oh and it's fun!

Can we please stop characterizing these things as “lies”? The first two were and are true; just because circumstances have changed doesn’t mean those pieces of advice don’t have value. And, quite frankly, the “we now have all the answers at our fingertips” is dangerous because it gives us information, not knowledge. As we’ve seen, people who “do their own research” frequently arrive at incorrect conclusions because they don’t have the background and knowledge to interpret and synthesize that information accurately. And the last one is just trying to dunk on a profession for what was being told to people (40 years ago) across all of society.

I may agree with the last panel as being a lie, but the other two... Learning cursive is still important, as it develops the brain, and you won't always have the answers at (at 😜) your fingertips, at least not always the correct answers. Just because Wikipedia or some YT video says so doesn't make it gospel truth. Of course, this is where we go into critical thinking skills, which is an entirely different soapbox for me to get on. So I'll shut up now and go off to tell the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn. 😄

Ticks; ticks are found in tall grass just waiting to drop onto someone juicy, and some of their bites look like a bullseye. It you ever find a tick bite, especially one that has a ring around it, on your body, you should see your doctor asap, as a lot of ticks transmit all sorts of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and prozotoa, that then infect you. They carry such a wide range of pathogens, from encephalitis to typhus to Lyme disease. And some ticks are venomous and they can cause tick paralysis. (Edited to correct typos).

This is incorrect. She doesn’t have the choice not to deal with her problems; if she doesn’t have to deal with them, then they’re not problems - problems are something you gave to eventually face. She just delays dealing with them, and that’s not a privilege, that’s a mix of attempting to maintain some semblance of mental health and kidding yourself. People have different problems and different coping strategies, and some can’t cope very well at all. What might be a molehill to one person is a mountain to another. I hate when “privilege” is used to invalidate people’s struggles.

Wild owls and parrots have an average lifespan of 20 years (and anywhere from 40-80 in captivity). Wild corvids can live up to 15 years (and about 40 in captivity). Even wild garden birds can make it to 15 (though it’s admittedly rare they name it last 2). I was given a juvenile Harris’s hawk for my 13th birthday; 15 years later she’s still going strong. (I don’t approve of giving animals as gifts, especially to children, but in this case my family are professional falconers and we run a nonprofit bird sanctuary).
