32 Hilariously Insightful Comics You Might Relate To Illustrated By Emily Mcgovern
Interview With Artist
We invite you to immerse yourselves into a hilarious universe by Emily McGovern. Emily is a cartoonist who transforms everyday situations into witty and relatable comic strips. She creates a variety of themed comics, including Harry Potter-inspired pieces and series like Emily in Brazil, but in this feature, we wanted to showcase her creations that work on their own. If you'd like to see her other works, we urge you to visit her Instagram - you will not be disappointed!
As for Emily, the artist lives in Portugal. She graduated from University College London in 2014 with a First in Russian Studies and occasionally incorporates her knowledge of the language into her comics. In addition to creating cartoons, Emily is also a novelist, with her books published in both the UK and the US. In an interview with Bored Panda, the artist shared: “I have two graphic novels in English called Bloodlust & Bonnets, and Twelve Percent Dread, which are also very funny!”
Without further ado, let’s hop into the post as these comics are about to put a smile on your face!

We were wondering how Emily would describe the essence or theme behind her comics to someone who's never seen her work before.
She wrote: “I always go for humor first, and then try and make it look beautiful.”

As for the creative process, Emily shared: “I make small notes and sketches when I think of something funny, or just anything I can think of, then I go back and rewrite the jokes that I think are good enough into comics.”
Lastly, the artist commented on what she’d hope for audiences to take away from her comics: “I hope they laugh and come back for more!”

Yep. I can still hear the shrieks of terror from my then-sixteen yo cousin yelling for her dad to come save her. And I can also still hear his outrage when--thinking she was seriously hurt--he found out it was a "damn spider."

I used to be a traveling IT guy and sometimes I would do this if the company was stingy with expenses. Especially if they had ingredients to make a breakfast sandwich. Then I'd take two plates of food back to my room and pretend like I was being a good boyfriend. But really it was just to feed me for the day

Yeah! Those idiots who make us censure our words and force us to use new slang just to make other people happy thereby infringing on our first amendment RIGHTS. Just because someone's parents never told them their opinion didn't matter and if they died they'd be forgotten within a year in this self centered country.

What does freedom of speech include? Spoken and written words: The right to express ideas through words Symbolic speech: The right to express ideas through actions, such as wearing, reading, performing, or protesting Political speech: The right to express political views, including through ads and campaigns What are some exceptions to freedom of speech? True threats: Speech that is perceived as an immediate threat to someone's physical safety Defamation: Speech that is objectively false Obscenity: Speech that is considered obscene Child pornography: Speech that involves child pornography Fighting words: Speech that is considered fighting words Fraud: Speech that is considered fraudulent There you go some stuff isn't covered because we've amended some of those right to protect other people rights. Basically look at it this way, your rights stop where someone else's begins.

I live next to the mountain in Montreal. When I can't take it anymore, I go to the forest and reset. Then when I can't take the tourists anymore, I go home and reset.

I live on a mountain in PA near 3 ski resorts. When I need to reset, I just do a double backflip into traffic.

Well...you could do as above - put a container over it, slide thin cardboard underneath, and release it outside. Given your reaction, spiders aren't too fond of you either.

Is kitty under water? More likely, eight-legged monster has conquered dry land ( i know, I know, an octopus is smart, sensitive, blah, blah, blah. They just kinda creep me out. Sorry-not sorry).
