26 Comics By A Medical Student Who Never Had The Guts To Become A Comic Artist, But Finally Dared To
I've wanted to draw comics for a while now but never really had the guts to, up until recently. Here are some I made in the last couple of weeks. The style is a little inconsistent as I'm still trying to find what looks best.
I'm a medical student, studying to become a doctor in Rotterdam, with dreams of becoming a cardiologist. Through medicine I have learned that, though the physical body is very important, mental well-being is also paramount when it comes to being a happy and healthy person. Though I may not be able to help you with the physical aspect for now, I am able to help with the mental side. Laughter and smiling flood the body and brain with happy chemicals and overall lift your mood, make you feel more energized and reduce stress. Through my comics, I hope to be able to bring a beautiful wide grin to your face and, at least momentarily, let you forget about your worries.
I have always loved doing art in my free time, I was drawing before I knew how to walk, and probably even talk- though they probably didn't look like much at the time. When I was 12 I got my very first drawing tablet, I was bouncing off the walls with pure joy and excitement! I spent countless late nights practicing and getting to know the digital world of art. I explored realism as well as abstract but found that I was most happy making comics about daily life. I try and put annoying nuisances most of us have to deal with on a semi-daily basis into a humor spotlight through my drawings.
I hope you like them!

I have always wondered about this, when I see people drinking coffee on the bus!
Tell me about it! Thankfully MARTA (Atlanta's system) has restrooms at some of their stations. Some of their stations.
I RELATE ON GODLY LEVEL. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW RELIGIOUS I GET DURING THESE MOMENTS.
This has never been an issue i know 3 servings is really 2 servings in disguise and use the hole in my spaghetti spoon to measure
When I do that, it still seems to be too much for me. :-)
Load More Replies...how much i want: 1 Small bowl how much I make: enough for 63 USAs, 50 Aisas, 24 South Americas, 69 Africas, and 86 Austrailias. TWICE
That's when you make a big pot planning on left overs. When we make spaghetti it lasts at least three days.
Every strapless top is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
Happened to me once as a teenager while getting out of water after swimming. Never again
Well what did you think was going to happen? Nothing holding it in place will do that
yes, it doesn't say anywhere it has to be a real, genuine unicorn
Load More Replies...RIP to the hundreds of tiny cacti I murdered. Seriously!! Like WTF! They only need a cpl drops of water and sunlight?!? Though I have since discovered I can grow spinach and cucumbers. My neighbors have discovered this as well, as have their neighbors, and anyone walking/driving anywhere near my house.
My son used to have a really great garden every summer. He has quite the green thumb. Where we live now, he has to plant them in containers, though. :-(
Load More Replies...Some people are genuine green thumbs. I am a black thumb. I could kill a fake plant.
Oh this is totally me! I can actually kill a wandering jew, and those things survive just about anything. :( The only plants still existing in my house are plastic.
Mom's a plant assassin grandma can make carnations grow new roots (this happened once)
If a plant dies it will regrow it self in time just likes grass if you water it
Er.. Not everytime? When it dies, it dies. When a plant looks dry from the outside but still shows a sign of life like a bud, a stem, or when you break the branch its not dried yet inside, yes you can try to water it and put it under sun.
Load More Replies...I hate wet socks! You'll see me shake my foot like a cat does when they get a wet foot! Worst feeling ever..
The most uncomfortable feeling on earth is having one sock partially wet
On a very different note why is it belt loops are just the right height to catch on the latch on the door frame? Feels like you have been hooked on a fishing rod when you try and walk through a door and suddenly get grabbed by the waist!
Reminds me of the time my son tore his trousers, basically from the front waistband to the back, while over enthusiastically lunging at a bowling alley! Oh dear!
It's useless. 😂 Tell a cat to not do something and/or prevent them from doing it, and they will most certainly do it.
Tell them the OPPOSITE! Like thing one and thing two from cat in the hat. Oh wait..........still doesn't work

hahahaha when I say to my dog: wanna go for a w..... *dog gets crazy* *bark* *bark* *bark* *running* running* *looprunning* *bark* *strangenoises*
DOGGO HAS GONE INTO MAXIMUM BORK-DRIVE. ALL HECK WILL BREAK LOOSE. HIDE YOUR CHILDREN. BARRICADE YOUR DOORS. JUST GET AWAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK OR YOU WILL BE DRAGGED ACROSS THE GRASS AND ALL OVER THE WORLD
My friend adopted an Alaskan Malamute when the owners had to move back to Russia & couldn't figure out why he wouldn't behave, as he was so well behaved around his former owners. She was scratching her head until I told him to "sidet, ostat'sya" (sit, stay) in Russian & he obeyed instantly, at which point I had to teach her some basic Russian commands so she could get the dog to respond! She was eventually able to teach him the English commands, but if you bring out the big guns & tell him in Russian, he obeys 10 times faster!
LOL that is me and my computer! All of the mugs are all over my desk as we speak hahaha.
Right now, all but one of my teaspoons & a lot of my forks & glasses are in my teenage daughter's room. She is on notice, but I am not overly concerned because she has a friend staying the night in 2 days & wants to borrow money, so "thy will be done, mother"!
I just put this in the kitchen where i work. Hope it helps :D
If someone is not in the medical field or military they won’t know 1700 is 3 pm.
I think there are plenty of countries that use military time, also most people can read it anyways/lh

My teacher loves spiders though they do us a favor by getting rid of other pesky bugs too
What's not to love: 1) They eat a lot of biting, stinging, blood sucking, desease carrying bugs. 2) They keep you compagny, you can always rely on them to be there for you. 3) They are very much more afraid from you than you can ever be from them. 4) If you look closely, they are really cute and fluffy. Bonus) You only need to clean up webbings, no poop involved.
Load More Replies...That means there's many things in my house eating dust mites
Load More Replies...My daughter is terrified of spiders, but as a kid she was infinitely worse, the list; daddy long legs, hair, dust bunnies, cotton, a small twig, anything that looked even the tiniest bit like it might even have seen a spider in a past life.... At least she has stopped asking her brother to get rid of them, (he wouldn't harm anything now) he used to just hit them with the phone book & leave the exploded remains on my wall, I was not impressed (either for the poor spider or my wall)!
I totally did that, it was just my hair but it sure looked like a hairy spider
My home room teacher used to kill every single bug or wasp that was interrupting her lessons with our class register xD it went like that: talking talking talking.... (scream of a girl at the back “wasp!!!” ) .. pause ... smash with hard cover register .... go back to the black board and continue talking xD
I’m 67 and it only takes half a glass liquor to send me down for 2 days! 😂
Load More Replies...Drink lots of water before, during, and after a binge. Works every time for me.
so true, i'm 33 and talk about times i could drink 2 beers without hangover as 'young days' :D
I would never survive through medical school, so I really commend every med student working hard so they can learn to save people's lives!
I learn a lot about human body while I was hospitalized when I'm 12, I had to face a huge surgery on my brain because of brain tumor. The doctors told me a lot of things included about where tumor comes from, the difference of tumors and cancer also about the medications and every contains in our body that controls our hormones
Just generally trying to explain what you do for a job to anyone who doesn't work that profession. And then they think they got it but you can tell they definitely did not
This is how some people feel trying to explain science to creationists and flat-earthers.
My Dad had a degree in Technical Authorship (plus an English degree) & after a certain point I gave up trying to explain.
What's worse is when they try to correct you because they read something on the internet.
don't bother! They all think they're experts without any education or training
I don't know why but I feel like this is Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) reborn as an onion hahaha
Loved the evil face on the "perfect" screen! Never had this happen, luckily
so i am not the only one being called after foods ( facepalm) :P
I call my husband 호빵 (some kind of round bread kinda snack filled with sweet beans paste). But mine are phonetics and phonology related reasons. 오빠 oppa → 오빵 oppang → 호빵 hoppang! ♥ (I know, it's disgustingly cute ^_^ )
Load More Replies...I use scissors to cut pizza all the time. Its really effective actually :)
I don’t know why you got down voted for this but even though that’s the uncreatuve way =3
Load More Replies...After a period of depression my garden became a weed choked jungle that would kill any lawnmower stupid enough to try to tackle it. A "friend" who does window cleaning & gardening etc offered to tackle it for a reasonable price, so I said ok & stupidly paid him half upfront to help him out. Needless to say that did not happen, by the time it became obvious he was avoiding me it was my height! So I tried my strimmer, but the plastic line was breaking, it hadn't been used for a while so I thought it might have perished. I went & bought heavy duty line, it still broke. At this point I was determined & angry & hot... I went out there with the largest pair of scissors I had & just vented! My new neighbours must have thought I was mad!
Could only see a manicure scissor and it really creeped/grossed me out!
Moving a pic on word even once millimetre will cause the whole thing to become one big mess
You dont move pics in word! You delete and re-import them
Load More Replies...I can down a 24oz Arabica “Ultra Caffeine” and feel pretty good......after a 10min nap....
That's why I wash and cut them all immediately and then preserve them in the freezer. Oooor.... I buy already frozen ones when available.
So then you don't favor fresh broccoli which is kind of the point.
Load More Replies...I know. If I forget to eat it within 1 day. I hate that.
Load More Replies...I literally ate a 343-day old grocery store egg and it was raw. On top of that it had sat in my refrigerator for 12 days after hurricane Michael with no electricity. There is a YouTube video of me eating the egg. It was the third raw egg I'd eaten in three days. It shows the power of negative oxygen ions. The egg container had ion disks on top and under the container that are rated as providing 15,,000 ions per second per cubic centimeter. The title of the video is "Food safety? Watch me eat a 343 day old egg"
Circle, cone, heart, kidney, nephron, cylinder... Wait there's math in this? S**t...

Load More Replies...Don't be one of those obnoxious, condescending med students. Just because they aren't studying the same field as you doesn't make you better than them. Maybe you just suck at explaining things in common language.
This one does not suck so much. Memes are mostly same copy/paste s**t but I like this original style. And MD student part is visible in body shapes - characters have muscles, proportions, joints and skeletons.
I agree, the understanding of the human body really comes through in the way the bodies are drawn!
