Finding Humor in the Everyday
For this comic artist, inspiration comes from the mundane. A trip to the grocery store, an awkward conversation with a coworker, or even the eternal debate over whether to exercise or order pizza can spark the idea for a new strip. Their ability to see humor in seemingly trivial moments is what makes their work so relatable.
One of their most popular comics depicts a character struggling to assemble IKEA furniture, only to give up and use it as a makeshift bookshelf in its half-built state. Another comic highlights the universal frustration of waiting for the Wi-Fi to reconnect, perfectly capturing the mix of irritation and helplessness we all feel in such moments.
By focusing on these shared experiences, the artist turns life’s little frustrations into something we can laugh about, making them feel a little less overwhelming.
