“Life In Bits”: My 35 Minimalistic Comics About The Everyday Life That Surrounds Us
Comics as a medium to express thoughts have always fascinated me. They are comparable to poetry in my mind. Comic strips convey something in a limited amount of space.
These funny comics called "Life in Bits" do not deal with a specific theme like office or home. It is about life around you, casual. The things we say, the way we adapt to new technologies, conventions. If you compare it to a different time, geography, species then it tickles your brain and brings a different perspective to light.
That is the goal of life in bits.

I started drawing webcomics called "Life in Bits" to express the world I observe in a constrained way. Depicting ironies in everyday life via open-ended conversations is what I am going for. The minimalistic cartoon drawings help to focus on the crux of the relatable comics.

Drawing comics is my hobby. As an introvert, I am an inherent observer of the world and its situations.
I like to write and I love to doodle. After reading the book "Making comics", I always wanted to use the medium to express myself. I love observing everyday life and seeing the sometimes absurd, sometimes funny situations humans get into. "Life in bits" was born out of those observations.

I have dabbled in more doodling. We had a sketch and coffee club at work where we met and drew and colored every week. It was a low-stakes, no-pressure club, which helped foster creativity.
People do seem to enjoy my comics and I see them mostly reacting via emojis. Although some of the illustrations do get a lot of comments.

Random thought of the day. This kind of approach is actually pretty dangerous, when you think of it. It seems like a great deal at first, you achieve so many things... Meanwhile, the impostor syndrome develops. Because, remember, you're faking it. So if you're living a seemingly dreamy life, what is this empty void deep inside? As you're getting generally tired, you face the realisation that you've been living a lie all this time. You deceived even yourself. This is not you, this is your best mask. Suddenly, those who loved you no longer understand you, because you're different now. Ahem. Sorry for this negative outlook, but it really does happen to a lot of people. Be careful, out there. Stay safe and healthy. ♥

Kid life : don't lie unless the truth upsets an older person's ego.
Tarmin Slingerfinger 6 years ago
To be fair, I think it's more valuable to teach your kids how to lie while at the same time teaching them the value of honesty. A simple "Don't lie" sets innocent children up to get taken advantage up later when they can't recognize how it works and the more stubborn ones will just get better at lying until you don't notice it anymore. Also, there are many different types of lies and some of them are not even considered bad(white lies, belief). It's a complex topic, and the "Don't lie"-sentiment just throws away all the possibilities of talking/learning about it.

Comics help me communicate a different perspective on a given situation. I would love for people to have a good laugh or ponder on how a particular situation looks to an observer who has no stake in the conversation.

I am good at following directions that include left and right and names of streets. I can't, on my life, follow things like "turn right on the streetlight on the next block after the pharmacy" or "you get off (bus line name instead of number) two stops after the bridge". Streets have names for a reason, dammit! What if the bus skips a stop? How will I know if I'm really in the right one? Just give me your address and I'll find it on Maps myself

A friend of mine lived in a gridded neighborhood, on 156th, and after a year she admitted she still got lost looking for the grocery store on 148th. Eight blocks west, ten blocks south. Literally, turn left off of your street, turn right at the light, the grocery store will be on your left. She couldn’t do it. She was otherwise very intelligent.

Marnee DeRider 6 years ago
People stopped liking actual phone calls because when you call someone on their cell/mobile, they rudely answer when they don't actually have time to talk. And we never established good etiquette, so people gave up. Used to be, you'd call, and if they weren't home, they wouldn't answer. They'd call back when they felt like talking. And also, you have to hold the phone in that one exact spot (not 3 mm off), to get the tiny hole next to your ear so you can hear. It's physically just uncomfortable. Finally, it's difficult to really converse, because you can start talking over one another and the other person cuts off, and this makes things awkward. Landlines didn't do that.
Mary Peace 3 years ago
Thank you so much, Marnee. I don't like speaking on the mobile, partly because I can't hear properly on it, so I tell everyone it's just for text, but they still call me. You made me feel normal again.
