Webcomic creator and digital artist Tabby, from Illinois, knows the pain of being in a long distance relationship all too well. Slice of Life, a webcomic drawn over a year about her long distance boyfriend, documented the highs and lows of a life apart, but only recently made Internet headlines when it was shared on Imgur. Now, Tabby is back with a new project.
"My goal is to create a comic, starting at 2x a week and working up to 5x a week, for an entire year," Tabby writes on Patreon. "Not only will this continue to push me as an artist, but it will again be a way of documenting this new chapter in my life. Slice of life comics have always been appealing to me, they open up lives of the creators to the readers and allow us all to connect to each other. And as an artist, that is what I want to be able to do - connect to people."
Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? Check out Tabby's webcomic below, and upvote the comic that best captures that long distance feeling!

3 years. 3777 miles. It's possible. We just got married. But the struggle is real. I love those drawings.
The most destructive thing anyone can say "Not a real relationship" :( And they dont know how it feels...
8 years in June for me and my partner. People always say it's not a real relationship, and they're right. It's a LOT more than that. Because we have to struggle with the distance too, not just the problems facing couples who are physically close. It's twice as difficult to make it work.
Seven years and 5533 miles for me. Wish I could be closer, but we're still going strong.
I find most people don't understand what it's like to be in a long distance relationship. Sometimes people try to be helpful and say platitudes like "just keep yourself busy", but it just shows how little they know of how different and hard it is to be in a long distance relationship. People who are lucky enough to see their significant other regularly don't know what it's like. When you go months without seeing each other, and then spend only a few days together, that alone time together is precious in sustaining and growing your relationship. In my experience most people don't know what it's like until they have been in a long distance relationship themselves.
I remember when my now sister in law said to her mum how his brother should look for someone near him.... 6 years of marriage in July and we love each other every day more and more, no one should be in the middle of your relationship, you fight for it and in the future it doesn't work out, you feel proud for not giving up when every one else wanted you to.
I wear his hoodie and coat all the time...it smells like him and it makes me so happy and so sad at the same time
Please take it serious, i am ALEX ROSE i am from USA. Who will believe that a herbal medicine can cure herpes, i never believe that this will work, i have spend a lot money getting drugs from the hospital to keep me and my son healthy, it got to a point that i was waiting for a death to come because i was broke, one day i hard about this great man called Dr OSEREMEN who is well know for Herpes, HIV, and Cancer cure, i decided to email him I didn’t believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try, he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and, he gave my details to the Courier Office. they told me that 4-8 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of the two weeks, he told me to go to the hospital for a check up, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus negative, and my son an i thought it was a jo
Yup, this was us, pretty much every weekend for 4 years. Then we finally got a place of our own together.
(Note: we didn't live that far away from each other, still in different countries, but neither of us had a car, so we had to rely on public transport (2-3 hours, if we were lucky), but we tried to see each other every week )
Load More Replies...Just said goodbye to my boyfriend before he leaves for university. I cried the whole way to the train station and he just held me and reassured me the whole time.
I see my boyfriend once a month for one 24 hours tops. He lives in SF and I live in OC... I feel lucky that he has the finances to fly or drive once a month but it's still hard to say good bye.
My ex and I tried doing the long-distance thing, but it didn't work for us. I was in Alaska and he was in North Carolina, and it was very hard. I still think about him a lot, and I sometimes wish I didn't end it. He's married now, and I hope he's happy. I hope he doesn't think about me like I think about him. It's painful.
While my friends are on dates on the weekends... My boyfriend and I spend the weekends on Skype dates

You might not be at home. My partner often works away from his house, and relies on hotel internet or library computers to talk to me.
Load More Replies...Sharing a bed is uncomfortable and I can't sleep so well, including snoring or missing blanket, but it is worth it.
Load More Replies...that´s so true -_- every night when he isn´t right by my side.
My now ex husband use to stay up all night just to say good morning to me when I woke up. We were three hours time difference. It was the most difficult relationship of my life. I still remember the feeling of complete joy when he would do such sweet gestures.
My partner is in Oz and I'm in Scotland- we fall asleep together on Skype quite regularly
yes true my boyfriend and i do that all the time even though we arent long distances but this is really cute
Haha we do this a lot of times...its been 8 years though I have not seen him in person before but am still holding on. Unless fate decides otherwise.
It takes about 2 weeks for my packages to go to the States from Europe, by plane.
Load More Replies...3777 miles apart. 3 years of dating. Seeing each other not more than once a month. It's possible. We just got married. But the struggle is real. Great drawings.
I live in uk my wife lives in Honduras sometimes packages can take months to arrive!
I live 6000 miles from my wife. I've known packages to take 3 months to deliver
Well from my own experience I can tell it takes 4-6 six weeks to ship stuff from Germany to the US. 5000 miles seeing each other every six months. But since one year we are married and live together.
So funny, I used to be in a long distance relationship with a guy named Samuel too. I was in France and he in Switzerland. Now after two years I have moved to Switzerland too. :)
Haha my husband and I used to do that when we were long distance. Though films go faster in the UK (25 frames a second rather than 24 I think) so he'd finish the film before me and have to not say anything so he wouldn't spoil the ending.
I would hope no one has a long-distance relationship with pizza... it's everywhere :)
I know this is years ago for you. But it looks like my LDR boyfriend is in the same area you have indicated here. Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. But I'm in Utah. 1850 miles. It's very difficult and some of these comics are making me cry. I want to be with him so much dangit.
As much as this sucks, my girlfriend and I are way further away. They're in the same Time Zone, my girl is 8 hours behind me. She's in California, I'm in the UK.
Distance doesn't work long term really but having a goal of eventually being together in one place is worth the time it is being distant.
Ok so the sad part is that in here is the good part of the story, its much more harder then that and the amount of effort is pretty way bigger. If you want it to work you need comitment from both of you. For me worked great im getting merried in two weeks!!!
I'm in the Uk and my boyfriend is in Australia.... I totally feel the distance and miss him all the time! Worst bit has to be the time difference though. :( It's tough, but totally worth it!! Keep going strong! We can do this!! :D <3
I Was in australia (born there) in roughly late 2009 we started talking than in 2012 he booked a flight to meet me (hes from uk) finally met me and we fast forward its 2017 im living in the uk with him in our house which is morgaged and our kitty riku <3 if you want it and really love each other and work for it it will continue to be worth it and some day maybe not a year maybe not two but eventually you will both be together <3
Load More Replies...ok, just a bad idea to see this at work... I now just wanna cry and I cant... ;_;
:'( ...i had to break up with the woman of my dreams due to the distance, looking at these pictures makes me regret and shed a tear...
This is very well made, and the feelz of it too xP Hope you guys get back together soon ^^ !
Went through two of these, the break ups were brutal... I think I'm pretty much done for good, long distance or otherwise.
It's funny. She's from the us and her boyfriend is from Canada because I'm from the us and my boyfriend is from Canada. But even though we haven't met yet I can relate to this sooooooooo well. Love it so much.
Does anyone know the artist? I'm in America and my boyfriend is in Canada. I'm trying configure out the process on what to do to start grtting there. I would love to get in contact with her for some help :) or if anyone else has advice! My email is best.ashley14@gmail.com
