32 Hilarious Comics That Shed Light on Relatable Real-Life Moments
These illustrations may or may not have us all feeling some pangs of guilt...
Some awkward moments are so universal that they stop feeling embarrassing and start feeling oddly comforting. Mariya Popandopulo, the artist behind Pinks and Roses, turns those tiny everyday disasters into bright, playful comics that hit a little too close to home.
Her illustrations, shared with more than 60,000 Instagram followers, are usually inspired by her own life, plus the little things she notices around her. The result is a collection of comics that capture procrastination, awkward habits, and everyday chaos with a soft pink style that makes them even more fun to scroll through.
