Artist Makes Funny Comics About Her Life And Everyday Struggles (40 New Pics)
Interview With ArtistGet ready to dive into the joyful universe of PizzaCake Comics! Created by the talented Ellen Woodbury, these comics are all about finding humor in everyday life. From funny family moments to her cats' silly adventures, Ellen's comics might bring a smile to your face.
"My biggest motivation as an artist is entertaining people and making them smile. The world is such a crazy place and there's a lot of negativity out there, especially online, I want my comics to be something that helps people escape the noise of all that bad stuff, even if just for a little bit," the artist shared with Bored Panda.

I hate to say it, but Pixar Moms are Disney Moms. They've owned Pixar for nearly 20 years.
Bored Panda reached out to Ellen again to learn more about her and her creative process. Creating is fun and fulfilling, so we asked the artist what aspect of being a comic artist brings her the most joy or satisfaction. She shared, "I love making people laugh and sharing funny/weird situations with people. The drawing side is really fun but it's really satisfying to be able to entertain people."
Don't spoil the fun !!! Ahe might refuse to grow up is she knew...

I do the opposite. Weight gain in only one spot on body? Random troubling symptoms including oddly flat poop? I'm fine, must just be from new desk job. ER visit for unrelated injury... you have the largest ovarian tumor we've ever seen! Brought all kinds of med students in. Ended up up to my ribs and approx the size of a football. Surgery got all of it but they wouldn't let me keep it in a jar 🤣
I'm currently sickish and so I pulled a Google, hypochondriac that I am. Looks like I'm gonna die of cancer bye
Naturally, the creative process comes with its own set of challenges. For Ellen, it's working too much. "I think a lot of creators feel like we always need to have content coming out and that can lead to burnout. It's always good to pull back and recharge when you need it."
The apology is usually more like "I'm sorry IF YOU WERE OFFENDED by what I did or said"
How quaint. Back when public figures still made forced apologies, at least tacitly acknowledging that what they did was wrong. Now they just go harder and celebrate it. Not all public figures mind you, but we all know which ones I'm talking about.
Definitely, I was blue all through my teens, then found out I was really --- autumn!

I thought she was gonna say: “you’re not trans!” But then that happened…
Load More Replies...Ellen started this comic in 2021, and since then, she has brought joy to over 37 thousand people around the world. When we asked her about what she considers to be her biggest milestones, the artist replied that it was being interviewed for Bored Panda! "I thought, 'Wow, I can't believe anyone would want to interview me!' Then, hitting 10k followers on my first social media account really helped to give me motivation to keep going."
Our formal cat is named Preacher - he's really named after my favorite comic book series but we tell people it's because he has white at his throat like a priest's collar XD
Load More Replies...I have ALL the types!! 😹 But not Nudist.... cuz that's gross... 😹🤣 lol jk All cats are beautiful! 🥰❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷🩵🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛
You missed the feral which is like picking up a handful of razor blades.
If you're someone who is just starting out as an artist or comic creator, Ellen has some advice for you! "The best advice I can give is to let yourself be bad when first starting out. You don't have to be an expert to share your work! Just keep drawing and writing because that's the only way any of us get better. I'm still trying to get better, and I've been making comics for 3 years!"
nothing bad is allowed to happen to the good guy while he's singing.
bruh when I was little and reading Harry Potter it pissed me off so badly that Voldie would wait until the end of each school year. like do you care that much about his education??
GoodBoi does this too. I'm sorry I just took my fur off and it's weird but please stop staring...
I use a medical device to hold the item of clothing. Audi has decided the device is a toy. He "helps" me get dressed, and boy-howdy, he's SO helpful.

I kinda want to buy that shirt. And the hoodie while we're at it...

I'm not against LGBTQAI++ movements. I'm against any hardcore fanatics who gets offended every two steps they took. Whatever you're fanatical about.
You’re pretty much describing the people who are in fact against lgbtq+ people.
Load More Replies...One would think that having a huge walker rolling straight at you would be enough to make you move. One would be wrong. Very, very wrong.
We had an orange cat (I know that explains everything right there!) who would sleep in doorways at night, and would constantly have this happen to him!
Load More Replies...Everytime every freaking time cats are like no stupid human you move 🤣
Maybe period cramps were the reason she didn't go to church. Double whammy!
Five? I've seen the regular eyelids and those white eyelids, but where's the fifth eyelid?
Load More Replies...I had a cat all through high school and it even made the move with me to my first house. We didn't always get along because we were both immature at times. Then one night she was sitting on the staircase and looked across the room. It might have been literally the only time she ever made genuine eye contact with me. I noticed because it was so jarring. We blinked at one another a couple times and never had I felt so much approval from her. She had always been perfectly healthy, but passed away later that night.
I like the Russian blue better. (What, I have a [mostly] Russian blue...)
"- but I'm going to need you to step it up a notch. You've been hitting record numbers but you were 2 minutes late Friday. Are you ok? You seem off, or angry. Let's leave any problems at home and have a great day at work!"
There is no home. There is only work.
Load More Replies...And that's why my employees don't punch a clock. So long as they don't abuse it, I really don't care exactly when they show up or how long lunch takes. And come closing time? GET OUT! Go home, relax, see you tomorrow. I sometimes have to stop them from starting early. C'mon, man, the job will still be here.
My lookalike cat announces when I may pet him. But it's fair. He always asks if it's OK for him to come up onto the bed. Otherwise, he likes the laundry bin, the sock drawer, the utensils drawer (seriously, cat?), and the undersink places we USED to keep chemical cleansers in. But most especially, my soft-cover briefcase for work. That way everyone at work can see all the grey fur and know I'm his owner. I mean his staff.
Load More Replies...How I've won any race/meet/match or whatever. Either the cutest name, prettiest spots, or the funniest name. 🤷🏼♀️
My dad had a couple of friends who loved the horse races. Not addiction level, but they always tried to turn it into a science and felt like they had years of unique experience. Weird that they never got rich, or even beat the average, right? It's just entertainment. If there's a scientific formula, people already know what it is, and it's being used against you. There is only one group of people who consistently make money on races. Think it through.
I went to the races with my sister. We decided to back a horse, and when we went to pick up our winnings a man asked us which horse we backed. We told the horses name and which race it had been in. Then he said oh anyone could have foreseen that he would win, and we asked "Did you win too". We couldn't help snickering when he said no.
Exactly my system. I go for the prettiest horse or the one with the coolest name.
aaack I know. it's it's, lie lay, should of should have I've given up
Load More Replies...This is why it's so important to watch enough horror movies to avoid dangerous situations or learn how to survive them. Take notes.
But, they absolutely NEVER "avoid dangerous situations"...
Load More Replies...If the place isn't overgrown with grass, weeds, trees, etc.. I'm turning around and going home.
You could. For a little while at least...and then see how they react🤷♀️ could go either way
Load More Replies...So are just going to gloss over the fact she is talking with her CAT!
And you thought human CEOs were heartless. Wait until a machine says Your Jobs aren't needed.
Load More Replies...Oh, yes. Musician all my life. The best decision was to stay semi-pro, earn my money elsewhere, and ENJOY making music.

My Russian Blue: I'll be hiding in the sock drawer... no, the utensil drawer is more of a challenge! Nighty night.
There's two types of cats in the world and this comic is 💯 percent true for my 2 youngest 🤣🤣🤣
Stop talking and start feeding!
Load More Replies...I don't recommend Audi. He doesn't cover his mess in the litter box.
I used to have an Audi, until I gained some weight.
Load More Replies..."But wait, there's more! Ask to speak with our manager and you'll get a free shopping spree!"
Wait till you see what happens if you threaten that they're about to lose your business
Load More Replies...Anyone speak binary? I wanna know what he said under the menacing laugh.
Unfortunately, it doesn't mean anything( or at least according to a couple binary-to-text translators that I tried)

Autumn spreads its golden wings And lays the path for those unseen A tangled web of evil spun at last Winter spawn from barren thighs To readdress, to slay the blind And throw the reins untethered to the skies
I don't care what anyone says, we all know summer is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Except Florida where it's Valentine's Day to Christmas, and Alaska, where yes, they absolutely do have summer; it's the third week of July.
Load More Replies...Me, who firmly believes that a season should start on the first day of its respective month: ............. I mean, are they wrong?
The eyes of the park personnel look dead inside. Or even screaming please save me. And I kinda like that.
I'd say the talking to yourself might be another reason.... except don't we all? (Right? I mean, right?)
I'm a freelancer who works from home. If I'm ever talking to myself, it's a staff meeting.

We just bought a big couch, and now our cat has claimed all of it.

Praying is useless and only serves for people to buy off their guilt.
I'm not religious, but I recently came to realise that praying is just a form of meditation, which can help you get peace of mind. But sitting on a train next to someone who is praying is terrifying!
Load More Replies...I have certainly learned that I *won't* have constant fun, but I'm not yet convinced that I don't *need* it.
*bats a piece of popcorn under the sofa*
Load More Replies...webcomic artists have a habit of allowing their other comic making friends to do guest episodes, and those guests usually end up roasting the absolute hell out of the comic.
Load More Replies...I like her, but my one complaint about a lot of these artists is that so much of their work is entirely self focused, if not out right self centered. I agree with writing what you know, but one's body of work should not only be about themselves. If it is, then they'll naturally be a target of this sort of criticism.
