These 30 In-Your-Face Comics Will Definitely Brighten A Dark Day

Who actually believes that life is monotonous and uninteresting all the time? Even in the silliest of circumstances, the best response to difficulties and unexpected turns that life presents is to laugh them off. "Laughter is a powerful tool for coping with life's challenges," says Dr. Daniel Kahneman, behavioral economist. By creating amusing comics about her daily life, Australian artist and mother Jess Rae hopes to achieve this. For lighthearted reading that will make you smile, look no further than her comic art called the "Doodley Squat Comics." Jess Rae was a projectionist before she began drawing. The artist once worked at a bead shop filled with sparkling beads. She started making cartoons using kids' drawing software because she was getting tired of reading the text on her Facebook page. Initially, Jess just drew on her phone with her finger. She promptly purchased an iPad and an Apple Pencil after her brother inquired about publishing her comics in the local paper. To create layers and draw with vector lines, she switched from Doodle Buddy to Clip Studio. "Creativity thrives in environments that foster support and encouragement," notes Gretchen Rubin, happiness researcher. Unfortunately, before COVID-19, the popularity of her work plummeted as a result of the Instagram algorithm update. We've gathered a bunch of her hilarious artworks, and we've featured them below for you. So go ahead and enjoy!

The artist draws more freely today and pays less attention to the numbers. When one looks at her comics from a contemporary perspective, she illustrates a variety of issues that women face daily.

In order for readers to understand how she feels, she has made an effort to appropriately portray her perplexity.
