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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
