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!

OMG yes!! I flew out to Cleveland to meet up with friends and see a concert and through the entire opening act this dude is going “You can’t be 6’ I’m 6’!” I’m looking slightly down at him and show him my drivers license to finally shut him up. I said “Maybe you shrunk? Idk what else to tell you dude....”

At my work we have to get a patient's measurements (height and weight). Typically men almost always think they're one to four inches taller than they really are. Women typically tell us they're ten to thirty pounds lighter than they really are. It cracks me up when I get someone who is 5' 10" who tells me he's 6' 2". That's why I never write down what they tell me and take actual measurements and it's why our measurements never match what's already in the system because someone else just asked and didn't check.

This can happen to anybody. A woman once asked me my height, when I told her, she responded, "You can't be 5' tall. I'm 5' tall." Of course, she failed to realize (a) I was wearing flats and she was wearing heels and (b) her hair was poofier than mine. So, yeah, she *seemed* taller than me.

I’m 5’ 8” and my husband swears he’s 5’ 10”. I had to limit my wedding shoes to 1” so I didn’t look taller than him in our pics. Usually I wear heals because he doesn’t mind me ‘looking’ taller.😂

I don't understand why you're offended. No one is having a go or has any problem with short guys in general. The only problem is when they accuse these tall women of lying about thier heights so they can pretend they are taller than they are. I'm actually 5'1" so it's pretty hard to find a guy shorter than me so for me short guys are very much a relative thing but no one is gonna like someone lying about their height to make themselves feel better in general, but even less when you're accusing someone else of lying to maintain a fiction that everyone can see through anyway... Unless you are one of these men who lies about their height then accuses women of lying to boost their non existent confidence though, there is no reason for offence here!!

Dilly Millandry 6 years ago
Just did some reading up on this and here are the averages of a few countries (accepting that there will always be anomolies); for a woman raised in the United States the average height is currently 5ft 4in. In UK it is 5ft 3in, in India it is 5ft, in Belgium it's just over 5 ft 4in and the same for the Netherlands. Latvian women are tallest being on average 5 ft 5.7in. (so nearly 5ft 6in). Being 5 inches taller than most countries 'average' is pretty much going to be considered tall rather than short. I'm sure that some studies probably produce variations on these heights but I doubt that there is much difference overall.

I used to be tall. I was 5'11 and wore 5 inch heels sometimes. I can relate to all of these comics. Because of back problems and such, I have lost 3 inches and am now 5'8". I still feel kind of tall. My hubby is 5'10" and now he loves it when I stand next to him and he is the taller one. I miss my 3 inches even tho' it was a pain in the a*s at times and finding clothes to fit was next to impossible.

I've lost height due to my back problems as well. Painful and frustrating, isn't it? Was horrified the first time I was measured at the doctors and so really struggled to get as tall as possible the next time - made no difference.

There is an upside tho, it's a lot easier to move through crowds. People see me pushing through and just move out the way like I'm a child trying to make my way to the front.

I think that in the image # 28, in which you put a boyfriend lower than you going down the street, you behave and ridicule him in the same way as those who judge you. You say that you do not want them to notice you and you worry about what they think about you, in that situation.

I LOVE these comics and can relate to all of them. I'm 6'. My boyfriend is 5'10" (which is my cut-off). The clothes... the mirrors... the showers... Yup, been there. How about creating a comic of a photo of you with your normal sized friends? I love my height, but when I see pictures of me and my friends, I feel like either an Amazon, or I'm surrounded by children. ha! Or how about a comic of being mistaken for a man? Has that happened?? I'm very obviously a woman (features, hair, feminine body), but NUMEROUS times over the years (especially in winter with big coat and hair covered, I've had people initially mistake me for a dude. "May I help you, sir?" in Home Depot, for example. Then I turn around to see their mortified face. ugh. And why do cute shoes tend to stop at size 10!?!? I'm 6' tall and size 11, and I'm sure lots of super models are up there with me. Then why is it so hard to find cute shoes!?!? I just saw the Broadway show "Kinky Boots" and found myself sighing.

Criticisms: 1) I think you are making a bigger problem out of a smaller one. 2) Using the same drawing, several times in a row, just changing the speech bubble, doesn't make for an interesting read, it also highlights and makes the next criticism more apparant: 3) You only have one joke, a whole comic series dedicated to one joke gets old, fast, which is a problem when: 4) This isn't very funny. Relatable humour is a difficult thing to make funny, and I have to say here it fails, in every way. Pros: The art's pretty good, although a little crude in places.

Some were definitely on point, but many were just weird. If the girl is over 6ft though, as I am only 5"10 there would be an even bigger gap, but I got all the up there jokes etc and the feet being boats etc. I did ride horses though, do not see how a tall gangly girl would be more cumbersome to a horse than a grown man. I also found all the 'at a friends house' ones so weird, again the friend is not building the kitchen lower, it would be standard counters etc, so the same issues in all houses including their own. On the good sides though... In the 80's never got asked for ID to go into clubs or pubs when underage because TALL! Get asked by people in supermarkets if I can reach something for them, which I am always happy to do, because it would really suck to not be able to especially for the elderly. I have become very good at picking things up with my toes and bringing them up to my hand, who wants to bend down that low to grab the lid to a pen :P

Love this!! I’m so bored of people saying- you’re so tall! Then there’s no other comment like- it’s great, you’re fab! How annoying. It’s jusy bloody pointless!

Why do people feel the need to be obnoxious jerks by asking smart a*s questions when they meet someone on the taller side? Why???

I LOVE these comics and can relate to all of them. I'm 6'. My boyfriend is 5'10" (which is my cut-off). The clothes... the mirrors... the showers... Yup, been there. How about creating a comic of a photo of you with your normal sized friends? I love my height, but when I see pictures of me and my friends, I feel like either an Amazon, or I'm surrounded by children. ha! Or how about a comic of being mistaken for a man? Has that happened?? I'm very obviously a woman (features, hair, feminine body), but NUMEROUS times over the years (especially in winter with big coat and hair covered, I've had people initially mistake me for a dude. "May I help you, sir?" in Home Depot, for example. Then I turn around to see their mortified face. ugh. And why do cute shoes tend to stop at size 10!?!? I'm 6' tall and size 11, and I'm sure lots of super models are up there with me. Then why is it so hard to find cute shoes!?!? I just saw the Broadway show "Kinky Boots" and found myself sighing.

Criticisms: 1) I think you are making a bigger problem out of a smaller one. 2) Using the same drawing, several times in a row, just changing the speech bubble, doesn't make for an interesting read, it also highlights and makes the next criticism more apparant: 3) You only have one joke, a whole comic series dedicated to one joke gets old, fast, which is a problem when: 4) This isn't very funny. Relatable humour is a difficult thing to make funny, and I have to say here it fails, in every way. Pros: The art's pretty good, although a little crude in places.

While not a girl I can still relate to almost everything on this list. Being 6'9" I can't even count how many times I get have my height pointed out to me every day.

Asking someone to do a favour for you, just because you can reach it is not obnoxious or rude. If you treat it as such, you are the one, in fact being rude and obnoxious.

Some were definitely on point, but many were just weird. If the girl is over 6ft though, as I am only 5"10 there would be an even bigger gap, but I got all the up there jokes etc and the feet being boats etc. I did ride horses though, do not see how a tall gangly girl would be more cumbersome to a horse than a grown man. I also found all the 'at a friends house' ones so weird, again the friend is not building the kitchen lower, it would be standard counters etc, so the same issues in all houses including their own. On the good sides though... In the 80's never got asked for ID to go into clubs or pubs when underage because TALL! Get asked by people in supermarkets if I can reach something for them, which I am always happy to do, because it would really suck to not be able to especially for the elderly. I have become very good at picking things up with my toes and bringing them up to my hand, who wants to bend down that low to grab the lid to a pen :P

I'm exactly the same height as you, and it never comes up in conversation or anything. Am I missing something??

Ok, I like this because I can share my experience. My friend, or more so: SUPER MEGA BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE is only 4'9? I think... And i'm 5'3 or 4, and every single time, I swear. I have to get the cookies for her.

Sounds like all the mouthy little people with the 'smart' cracks shouldn't be so hung up on height, Bill.

the problem with height is that your either too short or too tall. People rarely have the perfect height. why does Mother Nature do this to us.
