29 Hilarious But Relatable Comics That Show How Life Really Is, As Shared By A Polish Artist
Maybe you'll recognize yourself in these hilarious pictures.
It started with a Polish artist who turned everyday chaos into comics, and now her Instagram is basically a group chat for people who recognize themselves in the worst moments. Verauko’s illustrations land because they are not polished fantasies, they are tiny snapshots of life, the awkward, the petty, the hilarious, and the slightly unpleasant.
In her drawings, the complicated part is always the same: getting through real life while your brain is stuck on “what if I mess this up.” When she is under pressure, she leans on real events instead of fresh ideas, so you get scenes like mood swings, Friday chaos, mermaid problems, and those “effects” moments that feel way too accurate.
And once you spot the pattern, you will be laughing at your own day before you even finish the last panel.

Verauko's illustrations are loved by over 62K of her Instagram followers, so we aren't the only ones who think so. The hardest aspect of the creative process for Natalia and many other artists is coming up with ideas.
Fortunately, she has a strong imagination when it comes to the visual aspects.

This is why her jokes keep circling back to real-life stuff, like the pressure moments where her imagination goes quiet and the everyday mess shows up instead.
However, she often struggles to think of stories when under pressure. Because of this, most of her jokes revolve around real-life issues, including funny and unpleasant situations that have happened to her.
She depicts actual events in her drawings, and the subjects are limitless. Enjoy more of her cute and original illustrations, which you can see below!

Then the comics kick into full gear with relatable scenes, from “Oh Well…” energy to mood swings that hit harder than you’d like to admit.
Even her mermaid series feels painfully specific, because it is the same problem in a different costume, like “Mermaid Problems 2” and “Mermaid Problems Part 3” stacking up back-to-back.
By the time you reach the early autumn vibes and the spoon wars, you realize this is not just funny, it is basically a highlight reel of being human.
Verauko is not your typical artist, either. She graduated with a degree in arts from the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology, and her talent is evident in the clever and meticulous graphics she creates. Therefore, it would be a good idea to read her comics, as these comics explain what real life is to you. They might confront you with a harsh reality, but they'll definitely make you laugh instead of cry.
You might not be able to control what happens, but you can definitely laugh at how it happens.
