I'm a graphic designer and illustrator. I started my comic blog Tall N Curly back in 2012 to share my tall girl problems. Do you remember my previously posted funny comics about "25 Problems I Face When Being A Tall And Curly-Haired Girl" here on Bored Panda?

I wanted to create some space in my life for something creative that had nothing to do with my work. By doing so, I realized I was telling the everyday problems of so many other women. Women, who, just like me, want and need to be reminded that it's OK, fun and even special to be different and to own who they are.

Since I started my webcomic series, I've had the opportunity to talk with so many amazing women who shared their girl problems with me. Whether they're tall, short, skinny, curvy, their stories about living their life and not being able to fit any mold inspire my cute drawings every day.

Thanks to them, I never lack inspiration or have to try hard making these relatable comics... There's always something new to tell!

    I have the same issue with the pants length. The size that fits me is too short, what's longer is too big. Thankfully they started making different types of cuts and fits and you can have petite, normal or long cut to match your leg length and your hips.

    You're still only 6" and probably a lot narrower than us, it's often the width that gets me on long haul; having one shoulder bent forwards to fit in between two people on long haul urg

    If airlines are going to continue jamming the seats closer together, they can't continue to allow them to recline. They just can't have it both ways.

    There’s nothing like seeing a flight attendant try to convince the shortest person on the plane that they need to move from the emergency seat for you only to have them throw a fit and refuse.

    Yes! I've often thought that 'manspreading' is really done by people 6ft + as the chairs are too small. Any other tall women have issues with this?

    As someone even taller than you, I don't get to grab stewardesses arms, nor b***h about leg room, because males are supposed to not whine about the unavoidable, and not assert urgency by grabbing others.

    As a fellow “Tall Girl” I appreciate the humor in many of these drawings, but I must say I take issue wirh this particular one....in this one it she is grabbing the “Flight Attendant’s” arm in a painful way (the redness around her arm) and saying “you’te doing this to me” as if the flight attendant is directly doing something to her - presumably in regards the Tall Girl being a passenger and feeling very squished in her standard-type seat in the airplane. Flight Attendants do not have any power or control whatsoever the when it comes to the seat design and configuration of the aircraft. All of those decisions are made by the corporate powers-that-be. We Flight Attendants wish all seats on every aircraft had more leg room too! To depict a passenger blaming a flight attendant for the limited space and configuration of the seats on a plane, to the point where the passenger is grabbing the female flight attendant’s arm in a way that depicts pain is irresponsible and not cool at all.

    For god sake, put your shoes back on. Security is just effing with you when they demand to smell your feet. Those floors are soaked with (among other more disgusting things) urine and feces.
