Artist Creates Comics About Mental Health, Equal Rights, And What It’s Like Being A Woman (30 Pics)
Interview With ArtistLife is often complicated and full of strange situations. Relationships, work, family, and just everyday problems seem to overwhelm us and not work in our favor. It's hard to find something to look forward to and it seems like everyone is against you.
Bevs Boredom creates comics about these types of issues. She illustrates the daily struggles she runs into and puts a positive and humorous spin on them. She shares these situations with us so we can all feel less alone and realize that we all run into these types of problems. It's to laugh at them and try to see the positive side of things. That way we face the challenges that life throws at us head-on and are not afraid of anything!

My wedding dress had pockets and I made sure to point it out to everyone lol
F**k yeah, we never get pockets worth a damn, if I buy a dress that has them, I'm going to make a big deal about it
It’s weird how people in the pockets memes always make that same face and do the same stance as the last panel.
Bev gave Bored Panda an exclusive interview. To start things off, we asked her what inspired her to start creating these fun, amazing, and relatable comics: "What inspired me the most when I started making comics was all of the awesome comic artists around at that time!"
Men of value will never speak to a woman this way. Keep on ignoring the ones who do this, they don't deserve your attention or tutelage.
Oh I know exactly what kind of guy does the “fûck you you’re ugly anyway” thing. She drew him green to not make the connection but whoever goes through this knows.
Is it difficult to differentiate between thought and gesture? I don't care if a man finds me attractive, but he can either keep it to himself, or approach me nicely. If everyone were catcalling anyone they found attractive, the streets and public places would be so damn loud all the time.
Load More Replies...I feel that too. It can be hard sometimes but I want all of you to remember that there is always at least one person out there who loves you. And if you feel like there isn’t, let me be that person. I have much love to give and I’d be more than happy to share with you. I love you all, you’re beautiful people. Stay safe, remember to eat, and drink some water <3
What a delightful comment. You have just brightened up my day. Thank-you.
Load More Replies...Everyone feels like this sometimes. Which means everyone else is on the outside with you. You aren't alone, and your community is still your community.
The more they laugh, the better I feel about myself. But the anxiety gets higher when they don't laugh as much.
I'm not crying youre crying (on a serious note this is the most accurate thing I've seen in a while and its even worse when your friends that you made so easily say they will always support you no matter and will always be there for you and then leave when they learn you're genderqueer and suicidal because they can't deal with you)
I'm so sorry they left you because of that. I may not know you irl, but I'll always be here to support you! <3
Load More Replies...The artist also shared what the main goal of her comics is: "When I started in 2018 I wanted a way to consistently practice my drawing and writing skills but now my goal is to help people feel less alone with things they face in their life."
Bev creates her comics by herself, however, she says that her boyfriend and sister are a big help with proofreading and coming up with ideas when she runs into art block.
I needed this a few weeks ago! Just went through cutting off toxic friends!
Goes for toxic family too. It's hard. Really f'g hard. But OMG it's SO worth it. When you can finally cut out toxic family, it's so nice! There's some initial depression and anxiety, but once that passes you start becoming a whole person and realizing just how unwell you were the whole time.

Bev shared how she started to get into art and when she started creating these specific comics: "I've always enjoyed drawing, dating all the way back to me being a small kid. I used to draw Power Puff Girls way too much and I feel like that's where It all started! I started these comics in January 2018 and I hope to keep making them for a long time, it's really something I truly enjoy!"
Physical attraction is absolutely important, too. Let's not kid ourselves about that. Do we expect men to not have their physical preferences on women or not feel physically attracted to their partners? Of course they do and of course we don't. Women are allowed to want to have attractive partners as well. Also, age does not mean ugliness, and it is incredibly ageist to say so.
It's ok you want that. We're allowed to have preferences.
Load More Replies...My ideal type is "biologically human" just like myself. Anything else would be... weird.
I mean that’s cool and all but there are physically attractive men who can do that too. Nobody said it has to be what society deems physically attractive.
To me it doesn't even matter what gender they are, attractiveness to me is having a harmonic mindset- laugh together, like similar things etc.
The artist opens up about what the most difficult part of creating these comics is: "The more personal comics are definitely hard in the moment and I always have the thought of being judged by sharing, but it's always met with such positive feedback by my followers. It's nice to see that we can all have a safe space to talk about things and know we aren't the only ones going through tough times."
I prefer shaving just because I cannot wear a dress without feeling uncomfortable when I haven’t shaved
I prefer shaving so you get that awesome feeling when you put fresh bedsheets on your bed and then when you get into bed you wiggle your legs around on them. Feels so good!
Load More Replies...I see it the other way. Everyone including men is missing out by not shaving. The feel of sheets on your legs at night, the look of not having all those dark spidery hairs for no reason, the evenness and comfort of it all. It’s just way better and men are kinda dumb for letting society tell them they shouldn’t feel amazing by shaving.
I don't understand the hairy=unhygienic argument. You are entitled to your preferences (I do prefer shaving myself) but that's just an idiotic statement. My ex would always say that people with armpit hair were gross and filthy (I guess at least he would say that for both genders...) which is just untrue.
Fair point lol double standards exist on all sides, as long as we can acknowledge that instead of picking and choosing, we'd all get along a lot better.
I shaved my legs once or twice when I was a teen. I have never shaved my pits. And I don't feel hairy as a baboon. I feel just fine!
This is actually somewhat true, when our brain is overloaded with serotonin (which happens when looking at cute animals, babies, things that make us happy), it has to balance itself out by creating an alternate reaction, often violent ones. Hence why the puppy is so cute you want to squish it.
Yes, it's called cute aggression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cute_aggression
Load More Replies...Beep! Beep! ATTENTION: CUTENESS OVERLOAD SUBJECT 87196 WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 10 sec.
Bev tell us more about what topics her comics cover: "A lot of my comics deal with mental health, equal rights, what it's like being a woman, relationships, and my dog Mordechi!"
Look, if you have to keep asking, then either it isn't obvious, or you're wildly insecure. Neither makes for a good relationship, so let it go to either work on your issues or find the one you don't have to question. Also, men will marry someone they don't love in order to have access to a woman's emotional labor, a steady supply of sex, someone to take over housework duties and homemaking, childbearing and rearing, and 50/50 sharing of expenses. A wedding does not always mean true love, and divorces are easy to get. So vet carefully, ladies. If he isn't cherishing you before the wedding, he won't start afterwards.
Calm down, people are allowed to be insecure and still have happy relationships.
Load More Replies...My Grandmother told me she kept asking my Grandfather this question. He was a Cowboy and finally got tired of her asking. He told her "I love you! If I ever change my mind, I will let you know." As he was on his deathbed he took her hand and gently said, "I never changed my mind". They were married for a little over 65 years.
Yes! Just making sure someone wrote it. Plagiarism isn't cool.
Load More Replies...This is what happens when you suffer from mental abuse as a child. You can never be sure of love... I ask my husband since 18 years. Luckily. He knows me well and my problems and cam deal with them. I just need to heat it from time to time.
Kinda sad that some are so empty that they require so much reaffirmation. It's almost asif 'she' believes she got too good a catch. (Or has no self esteem /thanks stupid media/)
Bev shares what she would describe her style as and what inspired it: "That's a hard question, haha. I feel like my style is maybe floppy? Noodle arms and all, definitely took inspiration from Adventure Time with that."
Every human has a preference that seems minimal to others. You're just feeding yourself a delusion that you're a "better person", and youre not. You just have different preferences.
It should... but it does not, unfortunately. Only looks (and money) matter in this shitty world.
There are all sorts of unattractive poor people out there in loving relationships. Why do you refuse to believe they exist? Maybe the problem is that YOU only look at and pay attention to people who are attractive and rich.
Load More Replies...You think you only like hairless women. Let’s say you meet the woman who checks every box for you: gorgeous, smart, funny, a great lay, and hairless. Then one day she forgets to shave, maybe for like say two weeks or long enough to get kind of hairy. You still would love her. So you’re a liar really because you like women of all hair lengths, but you just prefer when they shave. Just like I like men of all beard styles but if I could pick one for my partner to have then I’d pick a short beard. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t grow it out sometimes.
Load More Replies...God I am repulsed by those people. How are you suppose to plan decades ahead if a single goofball derails all your tracks ? 😂
I hope that's sarcasm, otherwise I'd advise getting some therapy...
Load More Replies...Here's some more information about the artist and her life's journey: "I just recently turned 27 this past February, which seems so hard to believe. I've been working full time as a Graphic Designer and working towards getting my master's in 2D animation. I graduate this May so I'm excited to be able to apply what I've learned into Bevscomics and start animating more! I recently made a short horror story on webtoons called 'Love Letter' and it was something I really enjoyed. I hope to start making more content like that as well soon! I feel like life has led me up to this moment, I remember feeling so down and lost when I first started making comics but it has truly helped me learn more about myself and I'm proud of who I am today."
Wanna trade? (Late to the party I know, I liek finding posts that were here before I discovered bp)
Load More Replies...Lol those are the things I would do too. Maybe not the hips since they seem to get wider each year, which is welcomed. There’s Botox for your face but sadly nothing for height! Nothing wrong with changing what you don’t love tho.
Okay, I want to be about 5 cm taller... cause it's embarrassing if you often have to ask taller people to reach at the higher boards at the supermarket to get you something.
Love yourself just the way you are! Societal standards for beauty belong in the trash.
Please don't. I know women who /literally/ change hair, clothes and sometimes even contact lenses weekly... A nightmare for prosopagnosia people...
Good thing women’s bodies aren’t here to assuage your diseases.
Load More Replies...We face strong societal pressures based around perceived ideas of beauty. We have no control over our genetic attributes, yet that pressure remains. It is essential to love one's self in spite of that pressure.
Load More Replies...This is exactly me on my 3d date with my Now bf, but with jellyfish. I hate them when I’m going in the water 😄
Load More Replies...Don’t go in the ocean then. Nobody goes to your house and acts like you’re a disgusting murderer.
You gave him what he wanted. He didn’t expect to fûck. He expected to harass you to watch you squirm. As if that would be his reaction anyway. He’ll laugh at you and call you an insult and go “why you mad?!”
"I just want to say thank you to everyone who supports me, it means more than anyone could ever realize and I love you all so much!"

This is me. I cannot stop apologizing. "You don't need to run all the time!" "Sorry!" "And you don't always have to say sorry?" "I apologize."
Yeah, me too! I just don't want to burden others so it's apologizing all the time.
Load More Replies...https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinecastrillon/2019/07/14/how-women-can-stop-apologizing-and-take-their-power-back/ 🤔 Interesting
I apologize SO EFFING MUCH FOR EVERY LITTLE THING even thignd that aren't my fault
Losing friends because they got into a relationship is both sickening and confusing
if a friend cuts you out because of a relationship they were never a true friend
Or they were, but their boy/girlfriend changed or manipulated them.
Load More Replies...Classic case of 'cocooning' in relships. Annoying, but expected. Well...
That sort of co-dependence is pretty unhealthy. It happens for a lot of reasons, of course, but you should always be able to spend time without your SO present.
It's more about the commentary about pronouns. Notice the Boy/Girlfriend announcement, meaning they go by They. So They must always be with the two friends that are talking or the two of them can't hang out.
The first mistake was to tell people that it protects others - I would have gone with the lie that the masks protect the wearer most
But if that was what they said, than maybe more people wouldn't wear it because they don't care if they get the virus. Most people don't wear it already because they don't believe it does anything.
Load More Replies...You know what makes it REALLY hard to breathe? Coronavirus! -Trevor Noah
Also, my mom is actually allergic to hand sanitizer, sanitizer wipes, and most masks, but she still wears them. (These allergies are really really bad btw)
My entire social studies class claims that asymptotic covid doesn’t exist and my teacher is trying to tell people that masks don’t work and I hate life.
Yeah, I can wear one for hours at a time and I’m completely fine.
Load More Replies...this... this is why i google things even tho i know it is accurate just to make sure i get it right... else ill try to explain myself and ill end up in a mess
True. Double checking > Dealing with others 'preachings' any day.
Load More Replies...Yeah, this is becoming a Thing here. There are definitely some people just slavering at the prospect of tearing into someone for literally any perceived failing and as soon as one person does it can be like a floodgate opening :-( Like, seriously, what kind of psycho gets off on abusing strangers?
Load More Replies...Uh.I don't like those who dwell on such things. If it doesn't save lives or something.. And even then, no need to be agitated...
I don’t even say shît anymore unless they are actually speaking to someone of that race or gender, which pretty much never happens. You can’t change people’s minds. They’re all fuçking dumb.
I belive people often don't really know /how/ they come across tbh. Too bad there is no 'master video record' so you can play people's behaviour back to emselves for review.

I know blue guy is wrong, but can I make a racist joke towards Chinese people of I’m 100% chinese
No you’re not. Only a dumbbîtch would think that.
Load More Replies...It's OK to have this joke/ metaphor but it must be clear: there are many signs should be interpreted by everyone to make you ask someone "Are you ok?" and react properly to prevent depression and fatal consecuences.
The MBTI people probably have and explanation for this. Something about 'introverted extroverts' or something.
OHHHH HELLLL NAAAH!!!! HE DID NOT SMACK HER BUTT!!!! That is beyond disrespectful especially if they are on a first date. It just crosses too many boundaries
I carry scissors with me for this exact reason. you will never know what I would do with the scissors.
specificly these ones: scissors-6...9deb0a.png
Ok, I'm calling Thalia. And Reyna. And Piper. And RED, and Percy, Leo... y'know what? I'm calling ALL of them. Someone is getting mutilated.
When i was single and went on dates this was so frustrating and SO common. Crazy. I dont understand why people do that... life is not a porno
I was fostered as a child, I learned to never ever show any emotion, if you liked something it would be taken away from you, if you disliked something it would be used as a punishment. I still never show emotion.
Load More Replies...I’ve cried before at school and usually I try to keep it as quiet and minimal as possible. But of course my friends just have to go and be amazing; they’re really supportive and always give me a hug and tell me it’s okay. Which honestly makes me cry harder because I love them so much
When I needed a good private cry I would put on my big black sunglasses, walk 2 blocks from the office and sit on a bench right on the Ben Franklin Parkway in front of a TGI Friday's. Between the big sunglasses and the traffic, I felt completely alone and free to ball my eyes out. It was awesome!
I hate crying in front of people my face gets all blotchy when my skin is slightly moist (it doesn't hurt tho) and it doesn't go away until 30 mins of me not crying
I like the fact that people don't like it. Having strangers break down right next to for no apparant reason is a real anxiety inducer. F#@% the lymbic system... Let's not talk about the fact that male and female tears literally differ...
In real life, when you cry, people laugh at you and insult you. They also become physically violent, sometimes. Life sucks.
No, it doesn't. It causes a scene and it shows weakness and I can't even cry at home. (Lol jk I'm messed up ima just go die in a ditch now bye)
rotten people are full of excuses that try to explain their bad behavior!
Load More Replies...lol me too. sometimes i'll write a response in my head thinking i sent it in real life
Best thing in the world you can do for introverts is to invite us every time even though we say no, because sometimes we will want to go but no one is asking us during those times XD
I dump people who try this on me. It's guaranteed that they don't know me at all.
I love them all! It really tells the internal story of being a woman today.
Nobody of moderate intelligence would think that “I like your haircut it makes you look 12” is a compliment. If it makes them look 12 then either you like 12 year olds or you don’t like the haircut.
Some comments really hit a nerve... Especially if said in passing asif they were universal fact.
what are you talking about? that is not the point of this comic, if you are trying to get upvotes it is not working cuz this topic is irrelevant
Load More Replies...Yes. Digital art rocks because the risk of losing it is so much lower and you can share it with more people.
I love digital art but it's been hard to get back into it after my app crashed and deleted my entire gallery of 60+ artworks qwq
Load More Replies...I suck at drawing and painting, but I can wrap a present like nobody's business. I have a very analytical mind, wrapping presents isn't art, it's geometry! XD
That’s why the vert thing is stupid. Anyone can have traits of either. Wanting to go out or not isn’t a personality trait.
You just contradicted your own comment - by commenting, you proved that you do care that much about what people think, otherwise you would have just scrolled on by. LOL
Load More Replies...To be fair lots of people don't train their small dogs and let them get away with being really annoying. It's not the dog's fault though.

I like how the ones about being a woman aren't just like "omg my life is such a struggle bc my hair got caught in a chair" its like actually hard things about being a girl
Hard things about being a girl... Clothes that are not comfy that work makes you wear
Did you? Cos you were being quite a dickhead to... Oooh, lemme think, EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
Load More Replies...I don't know, do all men treat women like this to make them think that?
