come to think of it, why is he scared at seeing his own gravestone in the future? I mean, we all die aeventually, and he didn't know how far into the future the ghost took him
and that age aint all too bad for a long life so I mean yeah... that'd be the least of my worries
Load More Replies...So the thing about the future you wanted to show him was that he's gonna live until the age of 90? I mean, that doesn't sound like a bad future. A lot of people don't get to live anywhere near that long.
Guess he still feels pain, or just wants to be a good example.
Load More Replies...And this, my friends, proves that death is a female. Or gay. Gay is a very real possibility.
Ooh this reminds me of the comic book Death and Sparkles
Bored Panda reached out to the man and the legend behind the internet’s beloved Mr. Lovenstein webcomics, J. L. Westover, to find out more about what he has been up to lately, as well as his new projects. “Well, I don’t know if you’ve been following the news but… some Major World Events have occurred since we last spoke,” Westover said.
“Luckily, I sit at home and doodle stupid comics all day so really very few things have changed for me. Probably the biggest thing I did was the Kickstarter campaign for my new book, ‘Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure,’ and it was somehow a success despite my best efforts,” the creator told us.
Thanks mom. Talk about a kid whos gonna have some serious issues later in life.
I think you're joking but... in case you're not, his "mom-ghost" is simulating him being under the sheets in the throes of masturbation and imitating things he's probably said to her when she accidentally (or purposefully) walked in on him. You're welcome.

The creator said that his new book "Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure." is exactly what the title implies. “The book is the highest concentration of failure in the known universe other than my own body. I stuffed it with my funniest and failuriest (that’s a word now) comics, and even tossed in some fun new book exclusies.”
Moreover, the retail version of “Failure” will be available in a store near you this November, so keep an eye out for that, J. L. Westover said.
I was hoping worm would say something about splitting into two and becoming his own best friend or something, but sure this works
It is so annoying when the bodies fall out!!!!!!
Load More Replies...I will be making a band named P I S S. Anybody want in?
Load More Replies...When asked how his creative process, drawing style, and ideas have transformed with time, he said: “you might as well say my first comics and my latest comics were drawn by two different people.”
“Every new comic is a chance to streamline my process and hone my skills, and after drawing a couple thousand, I’m starting to get the hang of it. I’ve developed a colorful, squishy art style in the last few years that I find quite pleasing and fun to draw. Most importantly, I make sure each comic is sweatier than the last,” J. L. Westover told Bored Panda.
The look on their face is the exact face I make when I lay down and realize I'm doing nothing with my life.

Oh God... It's actually happen to me few weeks ago... For some reason, she's saved
nice. (The points are at 69 at the time I am writing this in case you're all wondering.)
In some places, you can now text 911. It more for situations where you can't talk (like you're hiding from an active shooter or whatever), but....
actually 911 in my area has the option to text them if you cant call
According to the artist behind Mr. Lovenstein, he “knows how to make comics now.” And that’s the biggest difference when comparing his earlier work to his work today.
“I had no idea what I was doing when I started. I had no interest in convention or structure or even coherence. It was a hobby back then so I didn’t give my comics the care and attention I do now. I just banged them out and moved on,” J. L. Westover explained.
Are you the demon/ghost possessing the person or the person
Load More Replies...Reminds me of the Gravity Falls episode where Bill possesses Dipper and finds out it actually kind of sucks. "What is this feeling? My body is burning! I can't move these stupid noodle legs! Curse you, useless flesh sticks! Body...shutting down... must...scratch... mosquito bites..." *thump*
YES! Another Gravity Falls fan! This also reminded me of that!
Load More Replies...So my psoriasis, childhood brain cancer and epilepsy diagnoses are actually forms of spiritual protection?
Well you need something from getting saddled with all that crappiness. Warding off demons seems only fair since you had to go through those things
Load More Replies...If this is the case, I'm very safe from possession. Any demons would nope right out.
My autism, blindness, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (symptoms similar to arthritis), and PTSD, would get that demon out damn quick. Either that or he gets into a fist fight with my ptsd demon.
I don't know why you were down voted. Your comment is funny.
Load More Replies...The artist said he tended to go for edgier, punchier, harsher, darker humor. “I was more interested in shocking people than entertaining them. Whenever I’d see a collection of my comics, they’d always be titled like ‘Check out these dark and twisted comics from Mr. Lovenstein.’”These days, however, J. L. Westover wouldn’t categorize his comics that way anymore.
“I’ve grown softer over the years. I’m still no stranger to the macabre, but now I handle it with delicate nuance instead of blunt force.”
Good luck getting through this hard time! you are an amazing person and well loved!
Load More Replies...I literally offered the pistol and 5000 bucks in my pocket on facebook when I was 27 and told everyone I will be on my porch smoking a blunt..... no one showed. I thought it was a good deal
except i like it when dogs do that to me especially small dogs that just reach my legs they tickle
Load More Replies...I have scars up and down my arm from the neighbor dog and I wouldnt have it any other way
It's the claws and the dirt on the feet... If I could get my dog to wear socks and shoes, I'd be totally fine with them jumping on me
"This is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world."
and while she looks so sad in photographs, i absolutely love her when she smiles
Load More Replies...“I have a few irons in the fire right now,” J. L. Westover told Bored Panda when asked about the new projects he is working on right now. “First and foremost, the sequel to ‘Failure’ is in the works. It’s tentatively titled ‘Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Feelings.’”
“Just imagine page after page of people crying and you’ll have a good idea of what to expect,” the creator said and added that he is also working on a party game “that’ll probably involve an equal amount of crying.”
Yes. When they fly overhead here I curse at them to keep going
Load More Replies...Me. My fibromyalgia is singing the song of its people right now and I want nothing more than a body transplant.

As an atheist I agree, I don't want unsolicited blessings. Better say Gesundheit!
When I was an atheist, I'd say, "It's nothing to sneeze at." It almost always covered that awkward silence.
Load More Replies...two bros, sittin' in a lava pool, 3 inches apart cuz they're not gay
He's not wrong. Is make us more creative, more enthusiastic, more self-confident, but it has short-term effect. The more you use it, the shorter the effect will be. and in the end you will just get addicted and end up being a person who has no future. In fact, many Olympic athletes use small amounts of the drug and their performance weakens if they don't use drugs.
Ok, but that's a very broad generalization.. turns out there are quite a lot of very different drugs. Some can destroy lives, others keep people from dying. Depends which drugs you are talking about
Load More Replies...I mean, maybe not the best goal ever, but you do you I guess
Load More Replies...No seriously, with the exception of talking ground and rivers that is how the grand canyon was born.
Load More Replies...I had a HS teacher that called his yard stick his “Ugly Stick,” and threatened to hit us with it (jokingly) when the smart assery was getting out of hand (often). One kid got especially sassy and he made the threat, then backed up and said, “Oh! Too late!” The class went crazy over the slam 🤣
Why can't everything I want to be done be done without me doing anything?
Ikr? It's not fair when you just want to sit down and exist without consequences
Load More Replies...F__kception: I don’t give a f__k about not giving f__ks about giving f__ks.

Showing these to my husband omfg....good stuff. Too relatable, but still.
I actually don’t think. At least that’s how it feels. Nothing goes through my mind for some reason. Like my sister was like “you were thinking it (she said I was making fun of her singing in my mind but I quite liked her singing)” and I wasn’t actually thinking about her singing at all. It just feels like nothing goes through my mind. Huh 🤔
I have heard of this....... it is truly a curious concept to me
Load More Replies...Waaaay back in the day before caller ID was everywhere, I had a meowing device that sounded very real and I would call my sister store and do it into the receiver and listen to Jeanette exclaim, "There's a cat on the other end!" and laugh my asss off.......
That smiley face really manages to show all your pain perfectly

Expensive healthcare and the freedom to make our own decisions on whether or not we want treatment? Yeah you're right
Load More Replies...“Bwa-ha-ha! Ok I’ll stop… laughing and shoot!”
Load More Replies...Aww, silly turtle, that would require money and time off work to do them
That would require money, which I don't have, and time, which I also don't have because I'm too busy working a job that doesn't pay enough to afford my bills AND time off
They say if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything then complain when you can't hold a conversation.
My nephew's solution to any kind of delay in any form of technology, just keep button bashing and then get angry when it completely freezes....works....well, actually, it's never worked. 😂

You can also shower while showering while showering while showering while in the shower.
Load More Replies...But hearts pump blood throughout the body, and if they don't have hearts, than the nose would be their heart since it does what the heart would do if they had one. But if they don't have a heart, then they can't have a nose since that's what the heart does. But they have a nose, therefore they have a heart.
This physco! When I was a lil child I’d try and HELP them get where they were going. Granted this was with bugs. We don’t get a lot of snails where I live. You are welcome for the oversharing
Nah. Realistic response would be "What awful feeling? There's a heck of a lot of options."

Ahh the IRS. They know how much you owe but make you do the math anyway.
Donald trump ladies and gentlemen..where he should have been years ago..and should be now and hopefully will be soon. An example needs to be made out of anyone who plays such nasty games with our laws and government. Bad man, bad math.
