30 Everyday Comics About Life and Mental Health Shared by the Artist
Depression can sometimes be so overwhelming that you can't resist the urge to laugh at it.
These comics turn everyday stress into something a little easier to laugh at. James of No Trades Comics takes familiar moments, from awkward small talk to mental health spirals, and gives them a sharp, relatable twist.
The result is a collection that feels both funny and uncomfortably familiar. Some strips lean into depression, some into burnout, and others into the strange little habits people pick up just to get through the day.
