There's awkward, and then there's modern awkward. What's the difference? Well, not even ten years ago, you didn't feel uneasy without your phone in public place, you didn't feel schadenfreude of someone's text messages split by each word, and you definitely didn't feel uncomfortable going out without any makeup on.
Mariya, also known as Pinks&Roses in the online comics society, perfectly illustrates these everyday awkward situations in her little black, white and pink girly sketches. She likes to keep her comic strips authentic and draws them mainly by hand, only adding the pink tones in Photoshop.
Mariya often illustrates her own problems in these funny comic strips, but sometimes she uses other people's misfortunes too. The purpose of her drawings, as she says, is "to spread a more lighthearted perspective on one's own daily life." And in our opinion, these funny comics indeed succeed at that.
Now, scroll along for a dose of awkwardly funny cartoons below!

i am more surprised she can sleep with her feed out of blanket...i couldn't :D
As a 40 year old woman, it concerns me that callers still ask if my Mom or Dad can come to the phone. I'm like, "yeah, sure, Credit Union, I'll just facetime them in Florida for ya."
Story of my life. I have learnt to follow up any introductions given to my now with the disclaimer "I do apologise but I will have no idea what your name is again in about 30 seconds"
Passport photos are still better the ones you get on your driver license or other govt. issues ID cards.
There's a great pitch. "Learn accounting while also curing your insomnia. All in one happy little book !" :D
Why one pizza for 3 people?! I ate my own full pizza, thanks. 33 cm.
Ohhhh my mum's homemade Scottish broth is the epitome of this comic!
OMG, so true! Or even worse - I usually don't wear makeup (my skin is super sensitive) and I went for a job interview. The feedback I got was "your qualifications more than justify hiring you for this position, however, our office expects our employees to maintain a certain level of professionalism and preparedness in their appearance." I was in a business suit and my hair was flawless - the only difference between me and the other women in the office was that I wasn't wearing makeup. Sigh.
My girlfriend is quite the opposite. She will drink water from the first receptacle she finds in the dish rack. That includes empty jars and assorted containers, pans, shallow bowls and, in one memorable occasion, the tea kettle.
I used to get something like Hot Pockets while grocery shopping, and would throw them into the microwave as soon as I got home, that way they wouldn't be the temperature of the sun once I was done unloading the car and putting everything away
You're suppose to hug for 20 seconds. 20 seconds might feel a bit long, but it's to achieve the full effects of a hug. A hug can mean a lot some
Once I saw myself on video while exercising. NEVER do that! Never! it's even worse than this second picture.
BAHAHAHAHA. Same, Same. I'm a night owl, but my pup wakes me up at 7am every morning so... yeaaaaah
There's also a third type, who like "negging" - you name your price, they get outraged and start insulting your merchandise, you, your family etc, claim they can find a better product for much less... and then ask for a discount.
Living on a farm for years the dogs were always bringing in *very* interesting stuff!
This is literally my mom every time she goes to the grocery store.
I'm the first one! I've only been on a plane 4 times in my life, from Michigan to Florida (Disney World) and back both times. Once as a young teen and once around 2012-ish as a late 10yr anniversary.
I don't ever have things I don't need. They are always on need but will keep heap.
Didn't try pumpkin spice until yesterday. It was good but was it "let's hype it up each year like it's the second coming of Christ" good? No
When I had my dog (I miss her so much :( ) I used to stop multiple times during each walk just to pet her.
I'm always so nervous when I use the kind that are right in the middle of the store and are just curtains, I don't want to have this happen.
