Talented Artist Shows What People Go Through In Real Life Through These Dark Humor Comics
“You never know what the next strip is going to bring!”
These comics hit like a group chat you cannot mute, because the punchlines are built from the same stuff that trips people up in real life. One minute you are “in a dream,” the next you are “late for an exam,” and somehow the brain just keeps running the same tired loop.
The artist, Deividas, jokes that “Mother Google” was his teacher, and that art school was more of a fun extracurricular than a fundamentals bootcamp. Still, the ideas show up everywhere, from park strolls and street dialogue to that weird quiet that turns into “Loneliness” or “Killing Time.” The whole thing feels complicated in the most relatable way, because the characters are not doing anything wildly dramatic, they are just stuck in their own heads.
Here’s the full story behind comics like “Follow Back” and “Don’t Care,” and why they feel uncomfortably familiar.

Right after “In a Dream” sets the tone, Deividas’ “Mother Google” origin story makes it clear these jokes come from lived-in mental chaos, not fantasy.</p>
Jokingly, Deividas said:
"Mother Google is my teacher. I’ve attended an art school (as an extracurricular activity after school) for four years, but it didn’t teach me much in terms of fundamentals. Regardless, it was fun.6. Class

The artist occasionally finds inspiration while strolling in a park, engaging in conversation, or listening to passing street dialogue. In fact, every issue is covered in The Needle Wig of Deividas, and none of them are ones the artist purposefully avoids.
He is very natural, and everything comes to him effortlessly.”

Then “Follow Back” and “Perfect, It Works” collide with the real-world awkwardness of trying to fit in, even when the whole thing is exhausting.</p>
When “Class,” “Late for an Exam,” and “Stressed Out” stack up, you can practically hear the street dialogue Deividas claims sparks the scenes.</p>
And once “No Friends” turns into “Tomorrow Me,” the park inspiration and everyday conversations land harder, because the punchline is you, tomorrow.</p>
Comics have a way of drawing us closer to the world around us. This artist has done justice to these comics, and we love to see it.
