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.

It must be the game called Smite (Hi-Rez Studios), and he's playing conquest, and the person on the opposite team is easy to kill, so that's erroneously called "feeding". Real feeding is intentionally running into the enemy team and just standing there, letting them kill you, over and over again. In this case, it's his grandma doing it out of love. Back to Smite, so you understand real feeding vs someone being unfortunate and getting targeted and jumped by more than one member of the enemy team... A lot of the time, people will form a group of 5 on the computer/xbox/ps4... on the Xbox it's called an Xbox Live Party. When a party has an idea to level up someone's god level really quickly they will decide to play a vs match like Arena, Joust or Conquest. It's harder to do this in Siege/Clash/M.O.T.D. and nearly impossible to do in assault. Anyway, the one taking position as leader will invite 4 of the 5 people in the party to a match. One gamer in the party will not be added,
