If animals could stop, reflect on their lives and talk, they would tell us that some things make them anxious just as much. Maybe in the future, who knows?

But for now, we would like to reintroduce you to the talented artist Amee Wilson, who creates funny and relatable animal comics called “Anxious Animals”. These animal problems will probably remind you of those awkward-yet-funny moments that have happened to you too.

Amee's comics have been featured on Bored Panda before, so don't miss out on part 1 as well.

When I get overwhelmed and know it’ll last a while, fighting that battle becomes painful…

Even though lockdown is remembered as a sad, depressing, and overall bad period in our lives, a lot of great things were born due to our boredom and loneliness. One of those things is Amee’s new comic series: Anxious Animals.

Amee is a well-known artist in our Bored Panda community through her other comic Queer Chameleon, and we are happy to see her other passion projects come to life.

    When talking about the birth of this comic series, Amee shared: “I was stuck in lockdown in Australia and feeling pretty anxious (like the rest of the country). And so I started drawing how I was feeling but spoken by animals. It kinda made the feelings feel a bit less dark! And people just started responding really positively so I just kept making them. I think everyone is just feeling all the same things, but they're hard to talk about!"

    Dogs do what dogs do.. Maybe his tail itches.

    These comics are comparatively a young project, but it has already received positive feedback and gained a solid following on Instagram. In the future, Amee hopes that these comics could turn “into a small book or little postcards so people could share them.” That doesn’t seem far-fetched as she has already published a book with her Queer Chameleon comics.

    Amee is absolutely creative and insightful, with a unique perspective that makes her work so magnetic and instantly likable. If you feel the same way, don’t forget to support her by following her work on social media. And if you haven’t seen comics with Queer Chameleon yet, see her posts on Bored Panda here: part 1 and part 2.

    I don't think it was ever "not knowing how to be vulnerable" for me and just finding the people who allowed me to be vulnerable around them and didn't immediately attack me for fun or some other sociopathic reasoning.

    Easy to say by someone who isn't carrying that weight. A donkey doesn't choose to carry all that. It is put their by people in charge of the donkey, and they beat the donkey if it refuses. The donkey CANNOT say NO. It's easy for people to say "don't be sad" to someone who is depressed, but never in the history of the world has that helped the depressed person. Maybe what the gray donkey SHOULD say is "you don't have to carry all that BY YOURSELF. I'll help."

    I had a dog that looked just like this one.. we put him down at the age of 14, he was getting really old and fragile. He also had cancer in his old age .. I miss him cause we had him before I was even born. I carry him around all the time though because while I was a baby and he was a puppy, and my brothers were just born and brought home, he freaked out and bit my face leaving some scars... I really miss him. (His name was Homer, short for Home Run) my grandparents had puppies and named him that and gave him to us.)

    Don't worry. It's the boop bomb. There is a tiny human in the box who pops and and gives the dog a boop. Unfortunately, these tiny humans are very obsessive over dogs so they embrace the dog. The dog is worried because he is an introvert and does not like hugs. He is testing the child bomb.
