I started this comic on the 2nd of April 2020, three weeks into the California lockdown. It features two characters in a confined space. The one on the right is continually annoying, the one on the left is continually annoyed. But there is optimism and camaraderie thrown in, too. Ultimately, their shared humanity wins the day. The concept came out of nowhere, hence the title, and the dialogue and humor between the two has flowed freely from the start.

I begin my day by doing between 10 and 20 roughs and then narrow them down to the top 6 for the day. A new one gets posted roughly every four hours to Facebook and Instagram. The response has been fantastic, with a Facebook reach of over 350,000 in the first week. Enjoy!

I honestly had someone bring in a bag of Fritos into my math test. 20 minutes in, with everyone concentrating.... *CRUNCH*munch*munch*munch*.

I'm sorry people downvoted you. Boredpanda people are unreasonably critical of a sentiment if it doesn't contribute anything large to the conversation. Personally, I think sharing your laughter is good regardless, but too many people here don't share that point of view.
