Comics have fascinated me since a young age (I'm still young). Copies of Garfield, Tinkle, Archie's, family Circus, and few others serve a pleasant dose of nostalgia on my shelf. When I joined Instagram, I came across comic strips by artists like Sarah Andersen and Cassandra Calin. The quality, humor, and the degree to which I could relate to them fascinated me. I kept thinking: "These webcomics are really cool! I wish I too could draw like them!”
I didn’t have an Arts degree (well, I still don’t) and I was terrible with doodling. I did draw portraits of my friends, so I was not new to drawing but penciling straight out of my mind...That scared me! How do people do that!? Surely one must have an Arts degree to do that! But I guess not.
I finally took the step to try out cartoon drawings after being inspired by a friend’s artwork. It was a terrible start but over the weeks I started getting better at it. I created my first funny comic on paper and shared it online and got a small amount of positive feedback which was more than enough to drive me to continue drawing.
I then focused on saving up to buy myself a laptop and a pen tablet since I wanted to digitize the funny doodles I'd created. Once I got that done, I started drawing digitally to finally create artwork with smooth linework and color.
Soon my cute comics began to get a better response on Instagram. I got reposts from popular comic pages and I watched as my account grew slowly. It has been like that ever since.
I draw relatable comics that depict my everyday life. I figured, why pen down words in a diary when I can record life in comics and share them with the world? Most of my comics are based on real-life incidents or conversations; the others are products of my stray thoughts conjuring funny situations. I avoid giving any of the characters a name because I want people to relate to them.
It's been over a year now and my page has grown and my artwork has improved. Here are my comics that have gone viral at some point in time on Instagram or Facebook. Have fun reading!

Cheers To The Chair!
I mean, the chair comes in many forms. Mine is my shoe bin in my closet.
Load More Replies...Same but if my mom sees my clothes on the floor she’ll either have a fit or wash them or sometimes both... so my pile’s in the closest :)

I am a fellow introvert. I feel like that everyday. Unless, of course, its Bored Panda
...... there's a big difference between 'hanging out with a friend' and going to a party. A very big difference.
Load More Replies...When You're Dieting And It's Finally Cheat Day!
This struggle is so relatable... XD I'd get motivated to diet but that journey would never get past even 2 weeks :')
I'm starting to try and eat healthier again and I am starting off with 3 cheat days. I know I'm terrible but the weekends and Fridays get the best of me. It's a start, and the idea is to not over indulge but allow more variety of "unhealthy" foods on the weekends. No body is perfect. Meh.
Is It Just Me Though?
Actually I don't know why this is shown as an introvert thing, I've even noticed that introverts are more into poetry than other people.
sometimes. if im reading a poem that doesnt appics to my lifestyle then im confused.
I am a well educated and reasonably intelligent woman. WHY THE F**K is Shakespeare the "epitome"? I hated studying Shakespeare and I hate him to this day.
FWIW, there's a surprisingly large body of evidence suggesting that the 'classic Shakespeare' lines that everybody thinks is so nice... wasn't even Shakespeare. Yeah. He uses shadowriters.
Load More Replies...Love poetry. If it's difficult - just read it out loud, as if you're performing, <3 <3
When You Have Too Many Passwords
Same... hence why I ended up making lots of new accounts because I keep forgetting them passwords. I shall keep my passwords somewhere lol.
Don't most sites have an option in case you forget your password, where they email you a link where you can change your password so you don't have to make new accounts?
Load More Replies...Meanwhile, on my Microsoft account... "Insert password" *inserts password* → "incorrect password" *clicks on "forgot password"* → "insert your new password" *inserts same password that showed as incorrect* → "your new password cannot be the same as your current password, please, choose a new one" *facepalms*
Sometimes I write down my passwords on little bits of paper... then lose the paper somewhere.
I have a spreadsheet listing user names & passwords & NO - I don't keep it on my computer.
I'm a gov. employee and they're always making us change passwords. So I've used passwords like yours Felicia lol
Load More Replies...I make my password the same for EVERYTHING, or at least a letter or two off for safety reasons.
This happens to me all the time because I accidentally make different versions of the same password for different sites.
Rants
I completely agree about annoying people at the pictures. A few years ago I went to see an Alien/Aliens double bill and as the first one was starting, these two douche canoes were talking loudly, completing ruining the build up of the intro. I said "if you have any respect for these films, you'll shut the f**k up." And I got a round of applause, my proudest moment :>D
might work better if you stopped asking for them? (ima go duck now.)
Load More Replies...Yep! I mean se se the tone and urgency at which I'm speaking, I clearly don't want suggestions right now, o just want you to be outraged with me and agree!
Then talk to yourself. Most people want to help solve the problem that is upsetting you so will offer suggestions.
Load More Replies...I started a thing with my husband called Paragraph 2. When I say that he knows: That I am not asking him for an opinion and/or input. I'm not asking him for a fix to the situation. I am simply asking him to let me rant because something has MAJORLY pissed me off. And when I'm done, there might be baked goods.

So true! Every time I've gotten almost financially stable some medical/dental thing has blown it up.
But I bet your taxes are horrendous, hence the same thing, you're still paying for it
Load More Replies...It's called brushing your teeth, maintenance. Nothing in the world is without it.
Load More Replies...Ah. Am I the only one who just ignores it unless it persists? Then I just stop eating sugary things for a day.. It works until the next bash of candy.
We Forgive But Never Forget
Funny you think so. What I think I saw is someone saying she can be as rude as she wants, so long as she can hold a grudge about past incidents. Notice that the girl in the comic did something asinine and never apologized or even seemed embarrassed. "It's yummy." That was her BS shrug of an excuse.
Load More Replies...Considering how crazy she gets when she's ranting or interactions with her go awry, I don't blame him for leaving.
For me I have friends who just used me I got annoyed but I tried to give them a second chance but they still used me

I'm A Potato!
The people at my college are so fashionable that I'd feel like a damn potato whenever I'm at school XD
Never be ashamed of who you are. Because you are drop dead gorgeous to someone.
and 99% of this problem is in her mind and self-image, not her body.
Every time I feel this way, I try to bring back memories of those few times I overheard girls talking nice things about the way I look, not knowing I was feeling like a potato. Then I realise.... I guess these "real life top models" have their potato days too afterall...
True - and people who are better looking than we will ever be are having cosmetic surgery.
Load More Replies...Just For Laughs
Why am I not photogenic? >_< Maybe it is just my perception but people always say that I don't look as bad as I thought in these kind of photos haha
When I look at photos of me taking fifty years ago (yeah, 50), I'm amazed at how good I looked when I thought I was sooo unphotogenic. I don't even know what the imperfections I saw then were when I look at them now. It's all perspective.
Load More Replies...I know right!?!?! My eyes get all scrunched and c**p and I look terrible!!!
I always hate myself too much to have photos taken, and avoid mirrors.. :c
My Life Summed Up
I am currently on my semester break and thank goodness I don't feel bored. Yet.
But you (thankfully) still came to visit *Bored* Panda :D
Load More Replies...She needs a day at a National Park. New England, visit Cape Cod. DC Area, visit the Smithsonian. Carolinas go to smoky mountains. Florida, Kennedy Space Center. The South, Natchez Trace is interesting. Midwest, there's Grasslands, boring, but you could visit Gateway Arch. West? Pick from nine in Utah, three in Colorado, two in Arizona, two in New Mexico, or one in Nevada. California is already a vacation. Go to the beach. Northwest and Hawaii, visit a famous volcano.
Same here. And everyone talks about how vacations are for "resting". I hate resting.
The Main Reason Why Things Don't Work Out In My Life
Amazon, you said it would be delivered in 8-10 business days. . . IT´S BEEN 15!!
15 business days? Coz that means monday thru friday only. Weekends don't count.
Load More Replies...Usually it arrives when I'm at work and the postman gives it to my next door neighbour and it's always just before she gets in the car to go on holiday. I then have to wait for her to get back from her holiday just so I can get my (usually much needed) parcel.
I don't care when it comes, I'm just happy to get a package! I always feel like it's Christmas but on any day of the year, even though I know what I'm getting.
Funny how no matter what it is your ordered, you always get excited. I'm waiting for a phone extension cable, and when it arrives, it will feel like my birthday.
Give her a break, people on the other side of her computer. Nearly all her emotional moments up until now have been negative.
Dedicated To The Ticklish
Lmao. That's so me whenever my sister is about to tickle me XD It's weird because I won't feel ticklish if I don't know someone is going to tickle me but when I do know, I'd feel ticklish af even though they haven't touched me yet... I wonder if others can relate ? :D
Yup. If you wiggle your fingers at me I'll start laughing hysterically.
Load More Replies...Ok. I read it and it's bad. However, I can relate to the idiot who did not get tickled. I'm so ticklish that when my friends look at me funny, I start to giggle and can't stop unless I take a time out in a locked room. Yeah..... I know.... Just reading the comic gave me tingles.... I'll just go away now........😶
Sometimes when i try to tickle my little sister,she ends up kicking me in my face or punching me and i've did not lay a finger on her #THE PAIN
omg same! whenever I tickle her, I usually end up getting kicked or hit... I have learned my lesson.
Load More Replies...My poor friend is so ticklish that she won't even let people hug her because she's afraid of being tickled.
When You Are Hungry
Wish Me It's My Birthday!
SAME! Everyone else is like 'meh my birthday' and I once learned the day after my friend's birthday that it was her birthday, because SHE NEVER TOLD ANYONE! I always make sure that EVERYONE knows my birthday and wishes me.
Hmm I think I’m more of the “meh my birthday” variety 🤔... once my friends started singing happy birthday to me and my twin sister in the cafeteria and at the end I yelled “Happy birthday Laurel” (Laurel is my friends name) so no one would know it was my birthday... 😅
Load More Replies...Itś so depressing when nobody wishes me happy birthday. My friends mostly remember though
i just assume no one will care so i plan to not tell anyone so they don't feel obliged to do anything but literally everyone remembers and i'm like ??? wow you remember the birthday of a piece of trash! amazing
She May Not Say It But She Believes It

Just Mom Things
My mom likes to throw my stuff away when she thinks it's too old. AMD she doesn't even ask me, she just informs me.
I'm still using one my mom bought for herself when I was a teenager. And I am 50 mow.
That's the way to teach those stores & society (women who think they need to buy one every few weeks) not to make you think you need a new one.

May be also cause they don't maintain it and put chemicals on it...

My little brother's eyelashes are way longer than mine, so I get you Lizzie.
When You Get To Know Them
I used to not laugh out loud. But you know..... wherever you are, 3/4 of the people you'll never see again, and if the rest only focus on how your laugh sounds instead of focusing on making you laugh.... they aren't worth it A smile can save a person at a specific time and place. But an unguarded laugh can save souls. Trust me. Laugh with abandon. Life is too short and there will be a guy who sees and hears you and thinks 'finally, a real woman.'
Load More Replies...a motorized, three-wheeled vehicle for public hire in south asia.
Load More Replies...Oh my god my boyfriend has heard like all my laughs and um.... I scared him XD
I love my partners laugh after 10 plus years!! no matter what it sounds like awwww
Always. ... The things you fall in love with are usually the things you can't stand
Did Someone Say Sale?!
And people running stores know that. It works because you're 'saving' kinda. Really, you're just spending more than you would normally, and buying stuff you wouldn't usually.
Load More Replies...So true! Clothes are so damn expensive! Since my country is not exactly an industrial one, (We don't have much to export) the price of things like clothes and stuff is very, very expensive. If I were to buy a blouse in my country, it'd be the price for 2 more blouses of exact same quality in another country.
Most stores do this, sales catch people's eyes and make them want to buy more.
That's marketing sales strategy. That's 1 reason a sale goes on. The other is they get rid of their old stock or stuff people usually don't buy unless it's on sale.
Load More Replies...The Struggle Is Real
most probably, they dont. You just dont see it.
Load More Replies...Everyone struggles with stuff. I usually don't wear makeup because it very seriously irritates my eyes, no matter the brand, even though I really like the way makeup looks.
While on the topic, how can I convince my mother to let me shave just my arms? I'm thirteen, by the way. Opinions and advice? Thanks so much! More than welcome to down-vote me if this is irrelevant.
Why would you want to shave your arms especially at 13? Just be yourself
Load More Replies...I'm Tired, I'm Hungry, I'm Anything But Motivated
The more active you are, though, the least likely you are to get tired from activity.
Yes.... I always have this hurdle. Does anyone have tips apart from "just power through"?

Stylists' Advice
Same. I have really curly hair and I use this straightening conditioner...
Straightening conditioner? Please explain and please tell me what it is called? (A fellow person with curly hair)
Load More Replies...I always have to use a lot of conditioner... Because my hair is very thick and it gets tangled easily, even though it's straight. So if I don't use enough conditioner, brushing my hair after takjng a shower will be very difficult and painful.
I don't use conditioner cuz my hair is fine without it, but I don't see how people can use like a pea-sized amount of shampoo or ANYTHING. I have short hair and I still use more than that
I didn't use for a while too but then, I used it and I realized why it exists
Load More Replies...Yeah I have a hairdresser friend who has told me that advice tends to assume a lot. Like your hair being naturally straight, not very thick, and healthy. Its well intended advice, but usually not accurate. Most people don't have time to keep their hair healthy even with the other pre-requisites.
