My name is linni and I am happy to share some of my work.
I love drawing and I love making people laugh. In my comics, I try to combine these two passions. I have always loved comics and been an avid reader ever since I was a child. Donald Duck, Calvin & Hobbes, Blondie - I would read anything I found around the house. The reading material was very much dictated by what my older brothers had brought into the house. And this is how I discovered Gary Larson. Not my favorite at the time - I didn't really understand it. Now, however, his unique sense of humor always makes me laugh - sometimes just because his work is surreal and absurd. The surreal humor form is inspiring my work at the moment, and I try to play on the element of surprise when creating comics. If the reader can't predict what comes next, there is a great chance of putting a smile on their face. I hope you enjoy my work!

Amateur... You reveal your plan once you REACH the murdering spot, not before!
You're supposed to lull them into a false sense of security first... gosh
It reminds a story with a girl i knew. She was alone at her secluded home and ordered a pizza delivery. The delivery guy said something like that "Hello ! It's a nice house, perfect for a murder, no public lights, no neighbours, no witnesses !" with a smile like "give me the bread". She was freaking out during weeks after.
When I first started creating comics they were normally based on real live instances from my own life. Well, rather loosely based on real instances. I remember one time when a friend was helping me move, and we were carrying a desk down some stairs when she almost tripped. I turned this into a comic where two friends were moving furniture, one fell down the stairs and injured themselves. The other one said: “Oh shoot… Who’s going to help me move now?” So yeah, basically 10% of what happened in real life, and 90% of what could have happened in an alternate surreal universe.
My husband grew up poor and the tacos were cheap hamburger with a little cheese and ketchup. No seasoning on the meat.
my dad puts ketchup on his tacos. I think I selectively forgot that he did that actually until this moment, thanks for the reminder I'm gonna go sit down now.
In my comics, I try to capture relatable everyday scenarios with a humorous twist. In order to balance realism with exaggeration I think it is important to have at least one element that is relatable. A way to balance this is to either have someone say something completely mundane in a crazy setting or have them say something super crazy in an ordinary setting.
Recently, there actually was a murder in South Korea in which a girl put the butchered body of her victim in a suitcase; which was then put in a taxi's trunk and taken to the destination where she disposed of it. So in that case, there really was a body in the trunk. Edit: Here's a link to a podcast someone did about it since some people don't believe me --> https://youtu.be/afCAs2iWD70
Same thing happened to a British girl not long ago, in Australia I think. She met a guy on Tinder or something on her birthday. Went back to his hotel. He murdered her, bought a suitcase and put her in it. Hired a car to dispose of it.

You will meet such a guy when you are not immature yourself. Case in point: trusting a Ouija board
I think the key to any story is to keep the reader wanting more, whether you play on the element of surprise or what’s relatable. One way of surprising your reader is to use nearly the same build-up twice, and then, when the reader thinks they know what’s coming next, you come out of the left field with a totally different punchline. You could also go the opposite way – new, and unique build-ups every time and always end with the same punchline. In this case, the reader will laugh because they know what’s coming. And even then you always have the option of turning things upside down and throwing in a different punchline just when the reader thinks they figured it all out. Also, in my experience with comics, if you make people laugh a couple of times, they are already curious to see what else you might come up with.
I wanna know what Voldedork said to warrant three down votes. Given how BoredPanda works, odds are it was a actually funny, hence the down votes. Tossing an upvote ur way for effort

In my future work, I can definitely see myself commenting more on real-time things covered in the media or happening in the world we live in. I also enjoy joining different challenges on Instagram. For example, creating a comic per day for a month based on a single word – I will definitely continue to do challenges like this in the future.
Life advice: no, you can't change them. If you're not happy with who they are, move along and keep looking. No reason to make both of you miserable for years before you figure that you shouldn't be together to begin with.
We always think we can change them. Or they end up trying to change US.
I forgot to inform the relatives of his demise. Honest mistake XD
Load More Replies...And called his other Ex....he really isnt good at picking them
Load More Replies...This bothers me. Strangers can be dangerous, yes, but everything form kidnappings to murder are much more likely to happen by people we know, yet no one ever teaches kids that. I work with kids, and one of my coworkers was playing a song talking about running away if a stranger tries to pick you up, but what about when they just grope them? Women still get dumbfounded by that when they're full grown and just freeze. Self defense needs to be taught to everyone at a young age.
no such thing as friend zoned. just women who think they have a legit friend and men who think they will get a romantic relationship if they wait long enough
Load More Replies...Fvck that. A girl that would do that to you ain't worth it. Say no move on
The least dangerous kind. Nothing to see here, Mr. Romero.
Load More Replies...Don't worry, it won't take very long
Load More Replies...Rookie mistake. Well he now must go buy a pack of cigarettes then start life anew
Load More Replies...The logic tho...but that face is like 'what did I just get myself into and how do I get out if it'
same energy as "i just quit my job. i couldnt stay after what my boss said to me" "what did he say" "youre fired"
'I want to break up with you'. Does that mean let's jump off a cliff and shatter together?
NINETY PERCENT OFF!! WHERE IS THIS STORE I NEED TO GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE ASAP! Edit: the older I get the more I realise I'm becoming like my mother... She only buys clothes on sale, never on retail 😆
Who handcuffs their partner to the bed who is that open and kinky, but then breaks the person's trust in a shared understanding of the situation only to leave them handcuffed and horny with a cellphone?
Shouldn't a ghost become visible to him instead? Why is she disappearing?
I took it to mean she already WAS a ghost, he just couldn't see that.
Load More Replies...Why would you? They're obviously a ploy from the government to make you spend money on Mother's Day and Valentine's Day.
Load More Replies...With an open door policy she probably invited him in, and said, "i'm dying to meet you."
This wasn't very dark for something that was supposed to be dark humor.
Why did I think of rumors by cardi b and that other chick whose name I forgot
There are a lot of comic posts that don't do it for me. But these had me LOL, thank you!! 😆😁
