Artist Creates Wholesome And Relatable Comics About Her Everyday Life (30 New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Valérie Minelli is a comic artist based in Luxembourg. She creates wholesome and relatable doodles inspired by her relationship with her boyfriend and daily personal struggles.
"I try to make people happy as I'm a pessimistic person myself. So the comics are therapy for me and hopefully for those who read them. If I can make one person cheer up reading them, it's a success," the artist has previously shared on Bored Panda.
Scroll down for some cute and touching stories. For those looking for more heartwarming comics by Mrs.Frollein, be sure to check out previous posts by clicking here, here, here and here.

Whenever I'm at the store and see a cool hot wheel I buy it because it makes me happy. One day the checker asks me if it was for my son and I said no it's for me. She then proceeds to give me a weird look. I don't understand the need for other people, especially random people to put others down.

Load More Replies...Bored Panda got in touch with Valérie again to learn more about her creative process and herself. We got curious about the time she first realized that she wanted to create comics. The artist shared that it was mostly when she was at school that she wanted to draw them. "I had always done drawings, painting and illustrations but it wasn’t until I took a comic class when I knew that’s what I wanted to do!"

I’ve definitely been guilty of this. Thankfully, there’s always a new day tomorrow. It’s never too late to restart as long as you’re alive!

I’m the opposite kind of this. I have a hobby drumming that I was pretty damned good at. I got breast cancer and recovered, but from having lymph nodes removed in my armpit to ensure it didn’t spread, left my timing off. Plus, arm swelling if I use it too much. It’s so frustrating and easily leads to the end comic scenario.
Mohsie Supposie 2 years ago
... or you are perfect at it, and there is no room for improvement. So you get bored and quit!
The most challenging part of the creative process for Valérie is compressing an idea into only a few panels. "You get an idea for a story or a joke, but trying out different compositions is the most tricky part for me. Things like 'how many words do I need?' 'Where do I put the speech balloons?' Stuff like that."
Talking about the part that she enjoys the most, Valérie shared that recently she started coloring her comics, "so right now that’s the most exciting part for me! Trying different colors, using shading, putting in little details, etc."

Material possessions are hard to remove from your life because they bring you an emotion that nothing else can. This why hoarders are encouraged to declutter the life on their own terms. Because they're not just getting rid of the item, they're getting rid of everything else attached to it. This is why I like this image. You want to return to a happy place? Go to the object that brings you joy.
Since these comics are inspired by Valérie's everyday experiences, we got curious about how it feels for her to expose her life like this. The artist revealed that the comics are only as personal as she wants them to be, so sharing personal stuff has never been much of an issue. "I try to keep them pretty vague too! If I do share some very intimate (maybe sad) moments, it’s mostly because I know that someone out there feels the same way, and we can all help each other heal. Some comics also aren’t biographical, but no one will ever know which ones are and which I just made up, or got inspiration from other people."

Little Caesars and CiCi’s Pizza have never caused problems with my lactose intolerance, i suspect it is not real dairy cheese, maybe a soy cheese-food. Made me fatter, though

Cheese was literally invented so people could digest dairy better. The older a cheese is the less lactose it has.

Being an artist can be a challenging and rewarding journey, but having the support of one's family can make all the difference. So we asked Valérie if her family supports her artistic journey. The artist answered that her family wasn’t the happiest when she went to study fine arts, but they're used to it by now. "I make a living as a comic artist/ illustrator and as long as I can pay the bills, my family is fine with that! I also just started doing some stop-motion stuff, and I'm excited to see how that will turn out!"

Yes, perfectly understandable. Not a bit reprehensible. It's so defensible.
"I always loved storytelling. I like using the little characters that I created to provoke emotions in people. To make someone laugh or cry or feel warm and fuzzy inside with your own art is the best thing there is, right? Also, I get to choose my own hours, so I can work at night and get up at 12 pm and nobody cares, so that’s great too!"

Oh. Mai. Gawd. I'm 40 now. When I was 30 (even 37), I could still run and jump like I was 15. Last year, I ruptured my left Gastrocnemius. In layman's terms, my calf muscle exploded. I wasn't running. I wasn't hiking. I wasn't biking. I was walking. Just walking. I took one quicker step to speed-up my pace (to PERHAPS a trot, but nothing like a gallop), and it went "POP!" Now I stretch several set times throughout the day, as a prophylactic, and at the end of the day if I feel stiff, I have some cannabis edibles to relax my muscles.

Yup. I want my teenaged fearlessness back as much as I appreciate my adult confidence!!
For those that want to become comic artists one day, Valérie has some advice: "Go for it! You can just start with pen and paper (I did!), you don’t need a fancy tablet or expensive software. Heck, you don’t even need to be good at drawing! The most important thing is that you want to tell a story.
I'd also suggest not comparing yourself too much to others, especially in the social media world. I struggle with this myself, but there will always be someone with more followers or more skill and that’s fine. As long as you like what you create, you should go for it."

Reminds me of Rupi Kaur's novel Milk and Honey it's such a good read but hits you like a lorry of bricks. It's hard to find anything left of joy in a world you share with the one you love but it exists within yourself as it always had before anyone else. You'll find it again I believe in you.

Hits hard indeed. Recently broke up with my boyfriend, because things just no longer worked out between us. But I know he was not as unhappy as I was, and that it hit him hard. Knowing he feels like this right now does hurt, even though I know I can't sacrifice my own happiness for his. 😢

I love that sound/sensation, but I wish there was a better word to capture it. "Crunch" is like crackers or cheerios. "Crunsh" is a good compromise, but still doesn't really convey it. Like... A crunch (imo) is a pretty-purely white noise. No color to it at all. The sound good snow makes has some pitch to it. It's deep and brappy. More like a burp than a crunch, but "burp" has too much negative connotation and "brap" is definitely a fart sound. Maybe its defiance of onomatopoeia is part of its charm.

I think everyone is missing the point of this one.... It's not saying the girl is becoming loud to ask for another goodnight kiss. The third pic is the head of a popular/mainstream recording artist named DJ Khaled. He is known for always saying *and another one* at the beginning of all his songs. It's sort of a joke/meme at this point. He's been around for quite a while.. I think he started his career in the late 90s, and is (somehow,lol) still making very mediocre music today.

I stopped getting pro haircuts when I retired. I have the correct scissors and diy and save lots of money and I'm happy. In my 78 years I can honestly say I've never been happy leaving a salon. I always had to even out one side or trim sticky out bits or cry at having to wait until it grew back. I thought it was just me.

😭 self termination is so hard on the loved ones left behind. The one thing that ALWAYS keeps me going is that I would never hurt my daughter like that. It's sad when people think they don't have ANYONE who would miss them and that the only solution is to take their own life. Mental illness is just as deadly as cancer, heart disease, etc, but those diseases don't have the stigma of being"weak" or "selfish" if they kill you. We need to do better in supporting people who think the only way out of their pain is by self terminating
