Artist Illustrates 7 Types Of Superheroes Of This Pandemic And We All Can Be At Least One Of Them

The coronavirus is really testing our world. It has had far-reaching consequences beyond the spread of the disease and efforts to contain it. From disruption to factories and logistics to massive losses in the entertainment industry, our everyday lives have already been severely challenged.

However, doctors, retail workers, and many, many more people are working very hard to help each and every one of us during these difficult times. And they should get all the recognition they deserve. So, to honor their efforts, artist Dustin Rogers (aka dustinteractive) from Columbus, Ohio, created a comic. The strip strikes a perfect balance between humor and compassion, and no wonder it went viral.

Dustin started doodling and uploading his art on the Internet back in 2015. It eventually became his career when he was asked to be a featured artist on Line Webtoon. “My comics touch on a diverse range of topics and include characters ranging from talking babies and serial daters, to a vegan boa constrictor and his best friend feeder mouse,” the artist told Bored Panda.

Facing the coronavirus, Rogers has been quarantined in his apartment for over a week now. “Everyone I know is healthy and safe, but I worry about those who are out of work due to this (on top of those who are sick). I think the best thing we can do is stay positive, so I’m trying my best to make people laugh and stay optimistic.”

“I have a lot of friends that work in healthcare,” he added. “I’ve been really inspired by their hard work and attitudes during all of this. I started thinking about other professions too that we should be thankful for. This comic was a way to pay tribute to these hard working people and also start a conversation about other under-appreciated workers who are helping us get through all of this.”

Here’s what people said about Dustin’s comic

Nice illustrations:) But don't forget about those who clean and empty our garbage. Without them the whole society would collapse. Take care!❤️

These are wonderful. How about adding the many teachers that are trying to teach classes from home?

Finally! Nurses getting the respect they have deserved for a very long time! Remember, if you are hospitalized, there is a Nurse with you 24/7... a Dr visits once or twice a day for a few minutes. They rely on the Nurses to follow medication orders, monitor and document patients progress and keep them informed of everything they need to know about their patients. Furthermore, it also falls on the Nursing staff to closely examine each and every Dr order in case of mistakes in dosage, usages, and/or allergies!

Don't forget that awful things make the news far more often than the good stuff. As LOttawa says stay home and be safe. Join us here on Bored Panda regularly for a laugh or to be inspired.

Don't lose hope. There are a lot more heroes out there then idiots. Stay home, stay safe and it will get better 💛.

You can be the person who stays home and does not endangers others. You can be the person who creates art or music and shares it with those who are bored and stuck at home. You can be the person who reaches out to others by FaceTime to keep them from getting lonely. You are strong and you can get through this.

Plush it is usual to feel stressed out and helpless in this situation and yes aspergers can make anything more difficult. There is some *amazing* science being done. And countries are sharing information in way we have never seen before. This helps me; hope it helps you / others too. When I cannot feel hope, my doctors (2 ) and counsellors (2) and friend (1) hold hope for me. I would like to share my sense of hope about all this with you , if you like.

Consider writing or drawing grateful lists. This is first aid for psyche stress. I believe the act of writing/drawing it makes it work. Not just thinking it.
