I Make Silly Comics About Everyday Life That People Can Relate To (30 Pics)

After graduating, I couldn't help but wonder, "What's the meaning of my work? Is it just for letting some tutors judge and give me a mark for what I have done?" That's when I realized that I shouldn't stop doing comics. They saved me from my horrible life, and I want more people to see them. I want to tell people who have experienced similar things that there's still some fun in life. If we can't escape it, then f**k it. So, I started creating more and posting comics on Instagram.

That's when I named my character Miss.W. "W" means worry and is the first letter of my family name. I didn't want to give her a specific name like Lilly, Amy, or anything like that because I am a myth!

Miss.W is a character who doesn't enjoy this world because she is often the unlucky one. She can be a bit mean to people, socially awkward, lazy, and sometimes a bit cheeky. But deep down, she is sensitive and still looks forward to changing and having a better life. When I created Miss.W, I didn't give her any superpowers or design her as a super pretty girl. She is just an ordinary girl in our life. That's why the character always has a lowered eye corner and wears a white hoodie and black jeans. This is why Miss.W can make people feel relatable.

I have always loved comics and dreamed of being a comic artist since I was a child. About two years ago, I started creating comics for a mental health project as part of my visual communication master's degree graduation show. However, at that time, I was going through a difficult time in my life and struggling to achieve good marks on my previous projects. So, I decided to create something I truly enjoyed and started working on my first comic book, "Escape This F**king World," which tells the story of a girl with social anxiety disorder.

After graduating, I didn't want to abandon my project and toss my book in the trash, so I started sharing my work on Instagram and creating more comic strips.

I want this comic to make our boring life a bit more interesting. Who doesn't want to see something funny during their lunch break? At first, I created this comic to heal myself. There were many unlucky things that happened in my life and I encountered many weird people. In real life, I am soft and cannot hit back immediately, so I use Miss.W as a tool to express myself and tell my story in a humorous way. Humor changes all the troubles into comedy. After that, all the terrible things become a laughing matter and won't be a big deal anymore. I believe it will encourage people who have had similar experiences to think about things in another way, to take things easy, and see life as a comedy.

I think the most rewarding experience for me was when my university tutor invited me back to the university to give a presentation to Level 6 students about my comic. The students enjoyed my comic and my presentation encouraged them to build their own Instagram accounts for their art. I am really happy to see that my comics can make people feel happy or help them relate to the stories.

I hope that my audience can take a break from reality. We are all imperfect and only live once. This world can be tough, but let's enjoy it together. Breakups and job losses are not a big deal, and it's nobody's business if you're overweight. If you enjoy staying at home, then do it. No one can judge you, so be yourself, do what you want, and eat what you like. I hope that my audience can feel more confident after reading my comics, but at the very least, I hope that they can laugh out loud.

In the end, I hope you enjoy my stories. Let's escape this f**king world together!
