Some wear their hearts on their sleeves for the entire world to see. Others hide their emotions much better and keep their thoughts secret. However, no matter who we are, what we do, and how well we may hide it, we all have inner monologues that reveal our true feelings.
Cartoonist Tommy Siegel draws witty comics featuring candy hearts that resonate very well with people because they show our honest feelings which we might be scared to share with everyone else. A lot of us would probably agree that we’ve had some of these thoughts running through our minds at least once or twice in our lives. Upvote your favorite cartoons, keep scrolling and let us know in the comments what you enjoyed most about the comics.

Bad news buddy, many people (many women) love science. It must be something else about you they don't like. For example, you assuming automatically that girls these days don't like science is quite repelling for me as a science-loving girl.

This me right now on dating apps....nothing but total sleezebags 🙁🙄
I was actually reading something about this. Relationships tend to be better balanced when one side is a little more selfish. Couples were able to predict what their SO wanted to watch more accurately when one person is a little more selfish, thus leading to more balance when choosing shows to satisfy both of them, than in relationships where both are altruistic or both are selfish
“I hail from Richmond, Virginia. But for the last ten years, I've been based in Brooklyn, New York,” Tommy told Bored Panda in an interview. “I've been a full-time musician for most of my adult life in the band Jukebox the Ghost, so cartooning and comic strips as a serious pursuit are still pretty new for me!”
I hope so. They can help so much if both are willing to listen and learn.

I kinda put drawing on hold for a couple of decades while I was focusing on music, but returned to cartooning recently,” Tommy explained about his relationship with art. “My drawing skills increased dramatically in the last couple of years. A few weeks ago, I completed a challenge to draw a comic every day for 500 days! It was… an insane thing to do and incredibly difficult, but it definitely helped me develop a voice and challenged me to become a better artist.”
Sad but true. Many people are nervous/anxious and self-absorbed when meeting someone else for the first time. Or they're narcissists
For me I'm just too anxious so I have to make sure everything I'm saying is right in my head first. Still usually end up talking like I just learned the language though hahaha
Load More Replies...I think that religion is a dealbreaker. It's too fundamental to a lot of people's lives and I wouldn't be able to put up with that.
It would only be a dealbreaker for me if they forced me to join or they judged me for not joining. Like i'm not gonna go to church with you every week, if you want to go, then go, but i have better things to do. if they believed in it but they didn't depend on it, i would be fine with it
Load More Replies...This one could be kinda cute? Like maybe yellow and purple are in a relationship and purple is willing to do this to make yellow happy?
There’s a lot of Couples where ones a theist and the other is atheist yet they manage to work it out. Not me, it would never work. I’ve been an atheist my whole life. I always said when my old man and I met we were both worried about that. But there were three things that would be a deal breaker for me: If we were different religions or lack there of, if he wasn’t a serious reader and into history & science, if he wanted children. I had two kids and this baby maker was closed. But I still had the box it came in and we used that to keep in practice. Turns out, he’s always been an atheist, fanatical reader and loved all history and science, he had two daughters AND DIDN'T WANT MORE, EVER. YAY! We were together for 35 years till he passed away in 2017. I miss him everyday.
My last girlfriend who was for the most part my perfect match broke up with me after I admitted that I could never actually be religious but that I would still accompany her to church. She don't want her children to be raised by an atheist.
My wife and I believe different things. I'm Buddhist, she's Christian. Differences can and do work, but pretending is probably not the way to go about it. We are honest with each other about our separate beliefs and are nonjudgmental of them. For example there is no need for me to point out that I don't believe there is a God when she mentions it. She knows how I feel, and isn't stating it to convince me, convert me or anything like that. I very much love her for who she is and what she believes, even if they aren't my own beliefs.
Nothing good never came from religion. I see it in my country and so many others. If you need a religion to be a good human being - you simply are not a good human being, instead you just are afraid of after-death punishment. Beliefs in other hand... you can believe in divinity, but keep it out of school, politics and law. Keep it private.
Dude. Whether people agree or disagree with you, no one ever wants to read all caps.
Load More Replies...Tommy also told Bored Panda that his “style swings wildly — I try not to pin myself down. The candy hearts series was part of the 500-day project, so they were interspersed with political cartoons and some totally dumb stuff.”
“When I'm not drawing candy hearts comics, I definitely draw a lot of butts,” he jokes. “So I guess I would describe my current style as "lots of butts and sometimes candy hearts."
It actually did not turn out to be nothing (unless you exclusively watch Fox News). There was no collusion with Russia ONLY because of the ineptitude of Trump and everyone working for him. According to Mueller's report. There WAS however a s**t ton of Obstruction of Justice. Which is the cover-up. The cover-up is always worse than the crime. And is always how people get caught.
Load More Replies...“I drew a comic for Valentine's Day with candy hearts on a movie date. I noticed it really seemed to resonate with people and realized that the idea of candy hearts having their inner monologues printed on them was a great setup to try again.”
The artist further elaborated about his cartoons: “Sometimes they're just light and funny, but my favorites are the ones that get at something deeper about human emotions.”
“I don't think of them as being unromantic, personally. I just think it's a good format to draw attention to people's inner lives, which are often in contrast to the way they appear from the outside,” he added about the candy heart comics.
Well... i almost exhaled my drink through the nose... i need to stop having food near my PC when reading stories like that
Load More Replies...For me my wife found me looking at Furry art and she was OMG I'm a Furry too .... Because of the stigma associated with the fandom we were both afraid to tell each other... Mind you Furry art and Furry porn (yiff) are two different things
I honeslty will have to Google what the F***k is a furry after this Bored Panda article.
A furry is a person who is part of a fandom that appreciates anthropomorphic animals(animals with human characteristics, in the fandom usually with an animal's head but human-like body shape - for some, this includes characters like Bugs Bunny) whether in terms of design/art/cosplay :D The furry fandom is a unique culture with many subcultures within it: the western furry style even differing from the Japanese furry style. Due to their unique/weird fandom, they have a culture of great acceptance to lgbta+ and other minorities. Furries get a very bad reputation online and in America due to the belief that furries are sexually attracted to animals. Hence the green heart "How do I tell them I am a furry". Yes, like many fandoms there IS a sexual side (like how there is hentai genre in anime, but not all anime is hentai) but that is a minority and is unrelated to sexual attraction to animals. Look up "fursuit" to get an idea of the costumes that furries like to go to cons with :) You can also see great designs from PhloxeButt, art by KatieHofgard and adorable Fursona Pins products! I'm just an artist who knows some kind furries ;)

Load More Replies...The candy heart cartoons raise a serious issue about how a lot of us shy away from sharing our inner lives and real feelings with others, even the people closest to us. Communication is the cornerstone for building lasting relationships and creating genuine connections with others, so it’s important to do it well.
This is why I don’t plan on having internet on my phone anytime in the near future. More people should do it.
Internet on phones is really damn useful. I just don't pull out my phone when talking to people.
Load More Replies...I am always there for the food and not a damn thing else. I'll gladly have my phone at all times.
I read it and then, again and again, each of them willingly to see the different one. Commoners 😒
The Better Health Channel writes that it’s important to communicate clearly in relationships because nobody’s a mind-reader. That’s why we should all find the time to talk without any modern distractions like TV or smartphones, accept responsibility for our feelings, genuinely listen to others without butting in, and avoid the desire to always be right.
I've never understood the "men hate marriage/don't wanna get married/are terrified they'll accidentally? get married" trope stereotype. If you don't wanna get married, don't propose. ? If assume it'd be that simple. Or if she is progressive, don't say yes if she proposes first.
I've never understood that. If you don't want to get married be with someone who doesn't also. I don't want to get married and my boyfriend is the same, we talked about it somewhat in the beginning of our relationship and turned out we both had similarviews

Why pretend? It’s not a great relationship of you can’t even be honest about the shows you like and dislike. What happens when there are bigger things you don’t agree on?
I agree with you but a lot of ppl find it hard to meet someone special and probably think it's worth it and not a big deal to lie about this kind of thing.
Load More Replies...I hate Game of Thrones with a passion and my hubby who lives knows all too well but I have plenty of shows he doesn't like as well.
Nope. I never force my partner to watch anything with me. Would love if he did, but I want him to enjoy it, not wish he can burn it with fire!!!
Sometimes love is to do something you don't like. It's called a sacrifice. This word is new to millennials
I never said you shouldn’t do things you don’t like with someone you love. I was saying you shouldn’t have to lie about it. Your partner would actually probably appreciate it more knowing you are willing to do something you don’t like because you love them and want to spend time with them.
Load More Replies...So glad my wife doesn't have to pretend. We don't like all the same things, but probably about 75% we do.
I agree! Also, I would have turned my phone off so as not to be disturbed
