40 Relatable And Funny Comics This Artist Creates About Her Life, Mental Issues And Other Situations
Interview With ArtistSilly situations happen to all of us. From clumsy mistakes, to meeting strange people, we can all relate one way or another. That's why comics portraying those kinds of situations are so popular among artists. They want to show you that you're not alone in this world. That we all run into similar problems.
That's exactly what artist Evie Hilliar does with her comics. She illustrates everyday situations, problems she runs into and doubts she has. The artist told Bored Panda: "I was pretty much raised by the internet—I grew up reading funny comic strips online and so when I started drawing, comics came naturally to me. I love drawing comics and sharing them—it’s definitely a way to express myself. Even the stupidest dumb thought, through a comic, can be accessible and relatable to so many more people than I would ever think possible."

My dog likes to stand still until im about to buckle her harness. Then she jumps around and goes crazy.
When I pick up my dog's walking gear, he goes nuts. He runs to the window to look out, and then he's too wild to get his harness on. I've tried to train him to sit, but then I can't get the harness on properly. It's always a production, but boy needs his walkies, so we power through it.
I work at a dog daycare. I go through this 50 times a day at checkout!
As a dog trainer I would encourage people to not jack up your dog by asking them if they want to go for a walk. You don’t need to ask your dog your dog is going to know the second you pick up the leash, even if your dog is blind they are going to know. This is important because you’re technically rewarding a dog for acting in a hyper manner, We as dog trainers would like pet owners to reward their pets for exhibiting calm, submissive, behavior. So the next time you’re ready to take your dog out of the car and it’s all excited and ready to literally bowl you over. Take a couple of seconds and let your dog calm down before you let it out of the car. This way your dog will not yank your arm right out of your shoulder and things are gonna be more comfortable and safer for the both of you. I hope somebody find this helpful.
This artist's style is very colorful, fun, and happy most of the time; however, when she touches upon more serious topics, like mental issues, she changes her style into a more detailed, serious-toned one with black and white line art. That's a great way to show the readers that the topics of her illustrations have changed. Evie has at least 3 of these types of styles she draws in, every style belonging to comics with a different theme and topics they cover.
Same! "So tired, I can't sleep" but will continue reading books til the sun comes up.

I dont have a problem getting up in the morning, where it is on my agenda to exercise but then I get my coffee and sit out on the porch scrolling through feeds such as BP and run out of time. I have good intentions but seldom do the things I intend to do .
"Regular Exercise" is the brand name for Adderall in some 3rd world countries
The artist talked with Bored Panda and told us what the main goal of the illustrations is: "With my drawings, I just want to express myself. Even the stupidest dumb thoughts, through a comic, can be accessible and relatable to so many more people than I ever thought possible." She also tells us more about how she got into art: "I was raised by the internet, my family was ancient memes like rage comics and 'i can haz cheezburger.' Webcomics were something I was always drawn to (pardon the pun!) and so when I started drawing I just started gravitating to comics myself."
You have to love yourself before you can see the love or give love to others. So sad but true.
Awww! I wonder if that's how my friends think of me...
Her good pals anxiety and depression 😢
Load More Replies..."Bisexual idiot, makes comics, will die if not given enough attention," writes Evie in her Twitter bio. She creates comics quite often and always has something to share on her feed with over 80k followers on her Instagram loving her creations and supporting her endeavors. Evie has a unique sense of humor and with the variety of topics she tackles, everyone is meant to find something they live in the artist's feed.
Many use food or other things as a comfort but in reality, they need to face their problems, feel their feelings and move forward. If it's not going to matter in a day or a week, let it go.
No one can stay upset when offered a large order of delicious french fries, It's more comforting than ice cream or cake put together!
best med of all: go drown your sorrows in red taco sauce eating tacos with a friend...
Evie shares what the most difficult part of creating comics for her is: "The hardest part of illustrating for me is actually the skill of drawing. I'm self-taught, I never had a creative bone in my body and drawing wasn't the most natural thing to me. It took so long and so much practice to get where I am with it but I'm still learning! Especially when I have a really good idea that I want to draw and I'm like... Can I even pull this off?"
Okay, okay. I know the stars are giant balls of gas in the sky, so sciencey people please don't get mad at me. What if, all of the stars were just every single starfish that has died over time? That would be so much cooler than balls of gas. And wholesome...
In her Patreon, Evie writes "Yeevz is creating comics to make you feel things." From laughter and happiness to deeper thought and self-reflection, you will get it all from the comics of this artist. The artist manages to make you laugh and relate, while also reminding you to practice self-love and care, not forget your loved ones and always remember to appreciate life.

Maybe we dont wanna know what creatures are saying and thinking. Tooooo funny
The artist tells us more about the topics she covers in her comics: "I would say my comics have two themes—dumb jokes, and mental health. Sometimes the two things overlap. I suffer from mental illness (like so many of us) and my motto is 'you either laugh or you cry,' and when I can, I choose to laugh!" She also shares more about her drawing style: "I would say my style is reminiscent of cartoons from my childhood. I don't put too much detail into my drawings—is it a stylistic choice, or is it because I'm lazy? I'll never tell. I definitely lifted elements from shows like Adventure Time and Over the Garden Wall, and other Cartoon Network shows."
Got to be worth a try. If it doesn't work, at least we have a capybara
Load More Replies...Evie started her comics over three years ago: "Not to toot my own horn, but it makes me so proud to see the improvement from the early days to now. I love what I do, I don't see myself stopping any time soon!" She also shares the main thing that inspires her to create further: "Messages and comments from followers I owe a lot to. It's hard to throw art into the void, especially things that are more personal, such as mental health comics. It's really vulnerable sometimes! But even one comment that says 'I relate to this' makes it all worth it. I think we are all just trying to find comfort in this big scary world, and if I can give that, then I'll do it for as long as I can."
I'm literally gonna get my hair cut pretty short and I'm so excited!
Load More Replies......me with a shaved head, tattoos and a nose ring.. welp. but i am a nonbinary/genderfluid lesbian soo.. yay?
That's awesome dude!! But just so you know, someone who isn't particularly a female who likes females, is trixic!
Load More Replies...My stepsiblings and I decided that when we were all 18, we'd get matching frog tattoos... considering my stepbrother and I are the youngest at 16, it won't be too long.
Load More Replies...Just do you. No need to make a big statement. You and your tribe will find each other.
If you want to start creating art yourself, Evie has some advice for you: "My advice to people who want to make art is... do it. Do it! No one is stopping you—just do it. You can suck! It doesn't matter! Art isn't about looking good. Art is about expressing yourself. You don't have to draw well to make good art—you just need a unique perspective. Lucky for you, you have it!"
I don't. Damn right I won't attend, I have cat vids to watch.
Load More Replies..."Oh no, where have all my friends gone?" Maybe if you didn't keep cancelling plans over and over.... Friendship need to be tended
A party ? Come on, be serious : parties are just a myth, they actually don't exist in real life.
That's a "social rhetorical question" that most people really don't want answered.
Evie tells us more about herself: "I'm a Cancer sun with a Scorpio rising and an Aquarius moon. That's all you need to know, right? I never did anything artistic in high school, besides doodling in my workbooks. When I graduated, I had the choice of following a silly little dream of being an artist or doing something with job security and a future. So naturally, I picked the artist route. I'm so glad I did. I studied animation at university and surrounded myself with amazing other artists that made me want to do even better. That's where my comics Instagram began, and the rest is history. Or, still being written."
My dog does the same thing with celery, or peppers, if I have it he HAS to have it. Give him a bit (spits it out) and STILL wants what I have in my hand...ITS THE SAME DAMN THING DOG!!!
One of the dogs we had when I was a kid was really fond of chocolate and we weren't aware that it is bad for dogs then. So she had chocolate as a treat in many occasions, and was crazy about it. She lived 16 years. So I get chocolate is not good for dogs but I wouldn't say it's a poison that kills them instantly, as some people seem to believe.
50 % of my grandmother's grocery list was chocolate for her poodle who lived to be 21.
Load More Replies...Myth. Chocolate will upset there stomach but only large quantities could kill them. Either way, don't give dogs chocolate no matter how much of a good boy he is
I would give it to it. It would die happy, but it would be worth it because it would die anyway.
One of mine had a lot of choco once and she's fine, so she's lucky
Yup...sadistic nurses are out there. Trust me...had one...wasn't even assigned to that unit. Poked my broken ankle..asked me if it hurt...said yes...poked it again. Head nurse came by "Anne. You're not assigned here. What are you doing?"...Anne gave me the most evil smile before she left..
I was IN LABOR and a huge, grumpy nurse kept walking up, towering over me, telling me that I was "taking too long, hurry up!". It was exactly 6hrs from the time I arrived to the time of birth...according to my paperwork. She ruined the whole experience with her aggressiveness 😒
After my final exam I told the invigilator that I hoped I would never see him again. He understood, and said the same back to me, chuckling.
Pokemon are slaves used either as workforce or gladiators ... do you hear that? It's the sound of shattered dreams
When my daughter was in labor and I was watching my other grandchildren in the waiting room asleep at 3am: Woman starts yelling blue murder about supplies being rearranged in the supply room, kids wake up scared and crying. The nurse that came past freaking out was the same darn woman from local TV ads saying how great they "treat you" and how wonderful it is working there. 🤬🐄😒

Funny thing is I don't have anxiety but I still feel this way :')
Load More Replies...You are right, brain. You are always right. It was like that love note in my locker : I totally know it was a prank. Hahaha... Without any doubt... It would have been very embarrassing if I believed it... I know I did not miss out on anything...
A lot of people seem to have this kind of anxiety.the one about friends not liking them. Can someone explain what it's all about? Where is this coming from?
After having bad friends "ghosting", "moonwalking", "gaslighting", "love bombing" & other such narcissistic behaviors, it undermines your confidence in yourself and in other people. (Especially if you're unlucky enough to have a "mother" who did these things to you for your whole life. It "trains" your brain to expect it 🥺.)
Load More Replies...Happiness is a temporary emotional reaction to desirable stimulus. It is NOT a state of being!
And because with it outside the mouth, there's a little bit more room for air to get in. And considering all the respiratory problems they have, every little bit helps. Brachycephalic breeds SUFFER for that pugly face 🥺😢😭 also, Bulldogs generally MUST birth by c-section as they are too unnatural for natural births. (I don't mean to be a downer, but people need to know, so they can help stop perpetuating the suffering.) 😻🐕
Omg it is my favorite animal mixed with my favorite attitude about life.... I think I'm gonna die of happy
No. Bad boy. Noisy boy. Also it is a dog. All dogs are evil.
Load More Replies...And this person has something to dry the lonely socks on
Load More Replies...Like the first time it snows, and you are not happy... because you have to drive to work in it. 🤨🥶
Or the first time you DON'T want a puppy... due to housebreaking (potty training).
Load More Replies...I think it depicts her talking to herself, thinking out loud 🤔
Load More Replies...This cartoon has a weird meaning to me since I call Chipmunks, Chippies.
One time when I was recovering from stomach flu all I wanted to eat was Italian meatballs (storebought frozen ones). I think my mom let me eat more meatballs than I ever ate at once before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On my deathbed, I would still like a large order of fries. From the drive-through, none of this "home-made" stuff. If I'm already dying, I wanna feel the fryer grease and salt slowing my heart to a full stop.
What's a "win?" I seem to have minor and major losses.
Load More Replies...My anxiety makes me feel like I have to feel guilty...
I’m pretty sure that’s sexism and not okay.
Load More Replies...Ya'll have dreams about f*****g? I honestly thought it was a joke?
I see them occasionally. But I always wake up before climax -_-
Load More Replies...what does it mean if you only have sex dreams of the "self-service" variety?
That's better than what I would have assumed based on your username.
Load More Replies...Last night I had a dream where my geography teacher killed one of my friends
For a while I used to have very sexy dreams about Ralph Fiennes. After I saw him in the English Patient. Went on for a while!!!
Being an adult is great : more money, fewer responsibilities, more free time... But still as lonely and boring.
I already do and it does not help ! Also, I don't take orders from stupid...! Uh... Pangolins ?
I had a best friend, realized I had a crush on her, and then realized that she only talked about herself. We still talk sometimes, no longer besties, but she's STILL SO GORGEOUS!!
Load More Replies...It's true! I love my friends so so much I think I'm going to dieeeeeee
I have to anxiety attacks too. Sometimes I'll be sitting during school and suddenly get a sinking feeling and just feel like something's very off. I always have to play it cool too because I don't want people thinking something's wrong.
Any minute now, my ship is coming in I'll keep checking the horizon I'll stand on the bow Feel the waves come crashing…
Oh my gosh that actually sounded a lil rude. Sorry guys!!!
Load More Replies...Is this true? It´s such a relief because sometimes I push myself really hard to sing because I need to get ´´better´´ even when I´m totally exhausted!
Breaks are good for your creativity! You can come back to something with a clear mind, and rested. If you're pushing yourself a little that's fine and good - we all need to be challenged! However, pushing yourself too hard will burn you out.
Load More Replies...I like this, just a reminder that you always have a friend, even if it is just your conscious
I know I have people that care about me when I'm feeling down, but sometimes I wish I could hear someone say it. Its just nice to hear it sometimes so I know for sure someone cares.
That's me all the time. I'm a super sensitive person already, and recently I've just felt like I'm kind of falling apart inside, so I'm even more sensitive now.
I hope you get better soon. I know what it feels like since when under pressure I break easily, my sensitivity increases 100% and I think of when it’s maybe a year later it will be better and it always will, so I hope this applies for you to.
Load More Replies...I laughed way too much at this!! I don't know what it means or represents but it sure is cute.
Music is one of the very few things that make it slightly more bearable. That, and medication. And food. And crying.
Well at least its a Party-Bus. U need to dance as if no one is there.
Validation from strangers online, one would assume.
Load More Replies...lizard butt does not look like that. well, I've never paid attention..
These are good, but they've just kind of made me realize how bad my mental state really is right now. I think too many of these are something I can relate to...
Hi there, read some of your comments here and checked your profileand I just wanted to say... keep your chin up, it will get better. Evaluate your life and try to determine if you can pin point problems or is it that you are feeling down / depressed for apparently no reason. If it's the latter, I would suggest you go see a psychologist and get a recommendation from them for meds (if neccessaryof course). The right meds can make a tremendous difference, it sure changed my life for the better. (I have bipolar disorder, severe anxiety and mild depression that comes and goes)
Load More Replies...Many of these make people with PTSD, depression, etc., just want to hide and ignore the world even *more* ------ it's not that easy. If it was, we wouldn't feel lousy!
Wow... That s**t really sucked. Making people feel more depressed because you are depressed too (like basically everyone else except milionnaires and models) is petty and cruel.
I said it once and I'll say it again.... dude what
