Artist Martin Rosner has recently started creating comics, and we are so glad he did because he clearly has a talent and the right sense of humor for it. But what may seem just some funny comics is actually giving a glimpse into artists ' not so simple everyday problems.

“This whole thing started because I decided to make a weird comic a day for two months straight. I was severely depressed for two years and failed two colleges but thanks to therapy, meds, and a lot of work on myself I'm doing much better. Making these dark comics to me is like being able to say to my depression, ‘even with you in the way I am still able to make something,’“ Martin told Bored Panda.

“I try to be open about depression, I know it always helps to know that you're not the only one struggling,” he told us. “Getting it out of my system is a great help. People reacting positively to me sharing my feelings and these funny drawings is even better. I feel like I make a tiny connection with others. Just a tiny one but it is there.”

Perhaps these cartoon drawings, which started as a kind of therapy, can grow into something much bigger? “First I have to make a website, then figure out how to sell prints properly,” Martin told Bored Panda. “I don't have an end goal in mind but several smaller ones. I try not to focus too much on the number and statistics because I know that's the best way to make yourself miserable.”

Martin’s end goal is to make a living from his dark humor comics, art, and even the occasional stand-up show, another skill he has been developing to overcome the anxiety of being the focus of people’s attention. “I would love to improve to a level where I can sell tickets for a show,” he told us. But that is for the future.

    In the world of comic creation, artists often find themselves navigating thematic universes full of unique ideas and unexpected inspiration.

    The journey can sometimes be reminiscent of the viral nature of memetic trends, which capture public imagination with remarkable speed and creativity. Understanding these parallels can aid any artist in harnessing these bursts of creativity effectively.
