I Illustrate My Experience As A Mom Of Two Boys In 25 Comics With A Feline Twist (New Pics)
I'm Chesca Hause—a mom who loves drawing cartoon animals. I managed to throw the two things together to create Litterbox Comics!
With the craziness of the past few months, I've been using my comics as somewhat of an escape. Humor is an important coping mechanism for me, so I've decided there is no pandemic in the "Litterverse." This lets the animals carry on with normal life and gives my readers a welcome break, even if just for a minute!
This is my 5th feature on Bored Panda (here are Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, and Part 4). These are my most recent comics.
Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tapas, or Webtoons, and you'll find bonus panels to a lot of these!

Clean Up Time
These are wonderful, and should be a newspaper/Daily strip. (Says guy who can’t draw and is oblivious to others efforts on occasion.) In any event, they make me laugh out loud.
the same joke my Indian BFF used to play on me when we were in preschool-1st grade. (we are still friends to this day) (we r in 7th)
Homeschool
Yet another thing I would like to have in T-shirt form.
from another litterbox comic: "he better bring in some lawyer money when he grows up", applicable to both.
Poopy
Secretly possibly she wasted money for a diamond hoe and it’s in the amazon box
Dictionary
I remember one of my old friends from elementary school saying that there was a "bad word" at the start of the word "dictionary".
I made this mistake of over enthusiasm in the beginning of the word. It was in around 4th grade so I had little to no idea if the meaning. Let's just say I found out m true friends that day
I got that response once when I said the word suck in reference to a mechanical device. 5 year old schooled me.
Don’t Blink
Actually, lol, she just lied to her kid. I wouldn't call that excellent, but it's funny and smart, so I ain't against it ;-)
Load More Replies...If that trick didn't work then I would feed those nuggets to my brother
Noise Downstairs
I used to have to bite the tongue to stop myself from laughing when my daughter was breaking rules but doing it with style. Telling her no and then sneaking off to my bedroom to laugh in my pillow.
My little brother once responded to me telling him to put away his toys to ‘why don’t you put away your mouth?” I was impressed
I use to sneak into the living room to watch my anime that came on at 12. My mom caught me, I went to be for five minutes then I was back out there. I sat really close to the screen and had the volume at 1.

Keeping Up Appearances
Hugs (Remastered)
Cats always follow you to the bathroom no matter how quietly you escape there.
Zoomies
I love this! my fur baby does this as well. So damn funny! Except, when she runs over your stomach. Then..oomph...
WTF are *Zoomies* ?? (I'm a cat and don't know about cats. Never had one, haha!)
Daddy’s Home
you thinks moms are like "NO SUGAR!" but they are they same as children
I've been obsessed with snow cream ice cream since I found it at the store. Tastes just like when I make it out of real snow.
Fan Service
Love the inclusion of the 4th Doctor's iconic scarf and Jane's hat from Firefly. What's the creature that the little kitten is holding?
Awesome comic this one! Look at all those goodies. Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghostbusters, Batman, and I don't know if anyone remembers Day of the Tentacle. Great job!
Timeout

My 11 year old son is stouter than his 12 year old brother. Like he has muscles. He loves yard work and things like that.My 12 yo picks on him. I've been waiting for the day my heart of gold stout 11 yo realizes he can take my 12 yo in a fight. Not real fight, but he could definitely put his brother in his place if he wanted to. One day soon it will happen.
To be persnickety, the baby in the first, the youngster in the second are calicos. Most calicos are female to the point that it's a real novelty to find a male calico. Male calicos are usually XXY and cannot procreate.
Load More Replies...the top two, mom and calico kid have same screaming mouth
Why Daniel?! (Remastered)
Hangry
Bonus pic is her eating the sandwich on the fridge as the kids try to poke her with a broom
*Dated, but still relevant. pop culture reference... I wear those shirts.
Sloof
the dad, and kids just look traumatized and you can’t see their face,,,
No Good Deed
There are times when I really want children of my own, and then I remember that I used to do stuff like this to my own parents and seriously reconsider my choices.
Father's Day
Critic
Ooooh! That one hurts my 45 year old heart. Also: the Dog in the Clog... lol
Birth Stories
Tsk tsk tsk. Had to learn the hard way, lol. It is some of the stuff nightmares are made of. For those that are curious about hyena births, female physical anatomy is similar to that of a male meaning they have to squeeze a grapefruit through a birth canal 1 inch in diameter and out of something the size of a small pencil. Baby mortality rate is high due to suffocation during the birthing process. Hopefully that wasn't too harsh of a visual.
Load More Replies...Anyone else notice the egg in the baby seat, waiting to be hatched? Or were you too distracted Googling hyena births? I love the expression on the hyena's face. She looks traumatised just thinking about it.
everybody's going to do it, telling them not do is just more reason to
Load More Replies...she did get one thing wrong though in her comic, she referred to her as "MRS." Male Hyena's do not stick around and help rear the child. Sad.... :(
Male cats usually don't stick around either. I think in this comic universe all animals copy human social norms a bit more often than not.
Load More Replies...Female hyenas have three times more testosterone than males, which results in a peculiar and risky labor process. Female hyenas give birth through their clitoris, also called a pseudo-penis. The birth canal of a hyena is only about one inch across, and consequently, many hyena babies do not survive

Homegrown
Yeah, me and my sibling call each other butt cheeks, booty holes, and, famous of all, nerds. I think it started when my oldest brother called my youngest brother a nerd, I was in the presence and decided to call my sister a nerd, and it stuck for the next 7 or so years. We still do it.
We also randomly say "Ya booty" or "Yer face" or "Ya nerd cheek (mix between butt cheek and nerd)"

I would let them starve. Nobody forces me . That's why I am proudly unfit to be a parent
lol me too probably, i wouldn't do anything about it, they can eat when they want so long as i can see it's not all unhealthy and they do eat proper meals at least twice a day
Load More Replies...Children will not voluntarily starve as long as food is made available. They might skip a meal out of petulance, but it won't kill them. I've reheated dinner for breakfast on more than one occasion, especially if it's something I know they've happily eaten on less crabby days. My kids are still very much alive.
I kind of AM a kid, and I can tell you everything you wanna know about children's behavior.
Load More Replies...These comics are hilarious and a fair reminder for me to get a vasectomy.
I absolutely love these. I need a whole book of them... and a desk calendar, and well... everything. Lol thank you Francesca Hause!!
Yay! I'm working on getting a book together! :)
Load More Replies...These are awesome! So relatable. Love the many little Easter eggs! Solid illustrations as well. Kudos and can't wait to see more!
These are great! You think outside the "litter box!"
