The artist known as Sabincomics on Instagram creates colorful, funny, and relatable comics about everyday life. Most of you will probably relate to them on some level. She has about 14k followers and posts weekly. She also has a YouTube channel filled with drawing tutorials and explanations on how she creates her cartoon drawings.
The artist touches all sorts of topics, like social situations, the struggles of being a girl, and, of course, the pandemic. "My webcomics are mostly inspired by my life and my daily routine!" the artist told Bored Panda.

Mom Knows Best
My best friend in middle school was a strange/nice person. We would always wait outside of each other's homeroom classes before lunch. In 7th grade, his mother was his homeroom teacher. As I was waiting his mother comes out. We talk for a moment then he comes out> When we were walking away his mom yells "There are better people to hang out with than *his name*." He looks at me I yell back "Yeah I know!"
We asked the artist what inspires her work and how long has she been drawing: "I get most of my creative ideas for these funny comics from my life and daily routines. I've been drawing since I can remember myself and I've always had a preference for creating my own cartoon characters and drawing comic strips and later animations."
Social Awkwardness
"Are you pregnant? - No? Oh, my goodness, I did not mean you are fat, it was more of a feeble attempt of small talk. Not that you are bad in small talk or I don't feel comfortable around you. Well, in fact, I do feel a little complicated at the moment. But this is not your fault. Why are you looking so unhappy? Not that you don't have every right to look unhappy - oh gosh I did not mean ... ... ..." Yes, I love these kind of situations.
There's one of those in the news every day, and it ain't a girl if you get my drift.
On Showing Emotion
Either that or just realized she really did pee on herself.
Load More Replies...When describing her style, she said: "I would say that it's in between modern and realistic cartoon styles, but I like to try all the different art and cartoon styles." She mentioned that creativity is a big part of her life and she creates 2 comics per week. She wishes that she had more time in a day so she could do all the cool drawings she wanted.

Load More Replies..."Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years (ie. usually between the ages of 15 to 49), which is approximately 176 million women in the world. The symptoms of endometriosis include painful periods, painful ovulation, pain during or after sexual intercourse, heavy bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, fatigue, and infertility, and can impact on general physical, mental, and social well being. There is no known cure and, although endometriosis can be treated effectively with drugs, most treatments are not suitable for long-term use due to side-effects. Surgery can be effective to remove endometriosis lesions and scar tissue, but success rates are dependent on the extent of disease and the surgeon’s skills." http://endometriosis.org/resources/articles/facts-about-endometriosis/
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus (called “the endometrium”), is found outside the uterus, where it induces a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in scar tissue. It is primarily found on the pelvic peritoneum, on the ovaries, in the recto-vaginal septum, on the bladder, and bowel. (WORLD ENDOMETRIOSIS SOCIETY)

That is the result when you study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study, without taking breaks.
Since her comics are inspired by real life, she doesn't find it difficult to find inspiration for her work, because every day brings new adventures she can illustrate in her comics. When asked if she had any tips for people just starting out, she had this to say: "Just start to create whatever you have in mind. Everything starts with an idea, so grab a paper and a pencil and start giving life to your ideas!"

"I study at Fine Arts University and my dream job is to create comics, animations, and art, or cooperate somehow with a big animation studio. Also, I have a little secret to tell you... I have one more channel on Youtube called TIM (toys in motion). If you like it, check it out—I believe it will make you laugh," said Sabin when asked about her job and hobbies.

Sabin shared with us the struggles she faces as an artist: "First of all, I have a struggle with the most strict judge... myself. And second, unfortunately, I don't have easy access to all the materials I need and I want. I believe this last one is a struggle that every creator faces."
Self Care
There was a study once: American researchers fed a huge amount of food data to a computer to find the perfect daily menu for an adult man. Maybe they made a mistake but the final result was: 2.1gal coffee with milk. Or maybe they didn't...

Stop looking. For some reason, the minute you’re not interested they flock to you and you can’t get rid of them. Hell, that’s how I met my husband!

Expectations vs. Reality
It is easy to wake up early now that I am getting older. Being able to wake up and get right to work would have been a superpower when I was a teenager. I can remember feeling most alive about 10:30 at night, now I rarely see that hour.

Me too. Lmao I hate large crowds of people, so that would be a huge no-no XDD
If I’m with a large group of friends I’m fine, but hate hate hate going into a roomful of strangers. TBH, if I was Cinderella, I’d probably spend the whole evening walking the grounds and visiting the horses in the stables. Instead of glass slippers, I’d need to wear my boots.

I've never lived alone and I'm scared to for this very reason. What if no one's there to help you get out of your shirt? Do you just sit down and die because you can't feed yourself? Like, what do you doooo?

Funny, if a guy said the same thing they'd get accused of objectifying women and be crucified. Double standards are great aren't they?
True Love
I think it's supposed to say> Honey, the ship might sink if I lie to you/The ship sinks if I lie to you
Ideally, I think it should be, "May this ship sink if I am lying to you."

I like these a lot, even though people are like nO MoRe ReLaTaBlE CoMiCs!!!!!
Enough with all the expectation vs reality cartoons we keep getting. Thye joke is wearing extremely thin and repetitive. A lot of these kind of comics are almost exploiting issues of low self-esteem and practically encouraging them. The endless procession of these 'relatable' comics about women fretting over clothes/weight/how others see them is giving the impression of this is how you should expect things to be. Sure, there are people with real issues, and sometimes everyone just binges on junk food or spends the day in their dressing gown. But 'woman covertly eating junk food and feeling guilty about it' is not something we need repeated as normality. "Woman saying "f**k your social pressure, I'm eating junk today and I won't feel bad because on average my diet is OK", is a much healthier attitude to demonstrate.
I know right! It’s really dumb that we’re SUPPOSED to feel guilty about eating chips, even if normally I’m pretty healthy
Load More Replies...i mean some of these were funny but its just getting old with the im not like other girls type stuff, your not quirky your just kinda lazy and need to appreciate yourself more LIVE YOUR LIFE.
I agree with the comments about these comics being "Cathy"-like and rehashing the same tropes over and over again. (BTW, Cathy was a comic strip in the 80's that was the first to openly address these topics, and many of these themes are identical to the ones in those very old comic strips.) There is nothing wrong with these artists cutting their teeth on these topics if they wish, but this and other submissions often recreate exactly the same panels, with exactly the same "wingbats" (stars indicating beauty and pride, for example) that we see from other artists every week or so. I think telling these storylines from each individual's point of view is their prerogative, but it is becoming repetitive and close to plagiarism. I know that if I were the creator of Planet Prudence (@planetprudence), who posts on BP regularly, I would be a bit troubled!
thankyou! some people just decide to show that and others hide it.
