Webcomics are some of the most entertaining content on the internet, so when I find some good ones, I'm eager to share.

Ariane is a 24-year-old artist from Paris, France, and she's the one behind the hilarious comics of ari_stocrate. The illustrator has been drawing since childhood and started comics in her teen years. "I experimented in high school, but it was really bad," she told Bored Panda. "I really got into it last year and even more in last November when I discovered digital drawing which upped my game instantly."

"I get my ideas from small Peruvians I keep in my basement who work day and night to find the best jokes… and also real life. My all-time inspiration is Garfield of course!"

And what about her medium? Does she start drawing on paper or are the comics digital from the start? "All digital baby! Way better than paper. I hate paper. My home is paper free. And also pepper free. That last statement is false. I love pepper. What was the question again?"

Lots of truly fun situations that Ariane draws about in her comics involve her cat, Jasper. "My cat Jasper comes from the planet Cathar where he was discovered to be force sensitive," jokes the artist. "But the empire declared him too powerful and put a bounty on his head, which is why he had to exile to planet Earth, he loves it here but he misses death sticks a bit."

Lately, Ari's comics have been gaining more and more traction and the artist encourages everyone who would like to create cartoons, to give them a try. "The best thing is anyone can do it, you don’t have to be Michael-Angelo to draw comic strips, the important part is the joke, not the art per se. The worst thing is some people don’t understand the minimalistic approach in comic strips for the joke to work and will criticize the art as if you were drawing a graphic novel. But trust me, drastic changes of angles and poses with too much-added details spoils the comedy timing and you end up with a weird unfunny chimera between two genres. I've seen this, I've done this, you don’t want this."

My dad. I quit eating pork and pork by-products when I was 12. Dad is still the pork police when we go out.

The most notes I get on my writing is for 1. an abject porn piece I wrote for no reason and 2. a piece I wrote in one night based on a story a friend told me and didn't really bother to edit. My novel-length series that I researched for month, even interviewed people? A fraction of the notes (altho, the people who enjoy it leave more specific and thoughtful responses).

That's how Trump got elected. More people relate to money, sex, and violence, than walls of text and thinking for themselves.

Yeah. But misspell something and see the million of comments that you'll get. Or, dare to say that Star Trek is better than Star Wars and pity on the flames that you'll get.

Simple: draw crappy works so people can like it. It's not worth it to work so hard on something just to be ignore, troll or bash.

YEEEEEEES RIGHT ON!! Every time. I've spent a half hour on a drawing, gotten tons of likes. The I spend 40 hours on one - not a single like.

Listen, if you can't talk about poop with friends they're clearly not your friends.

This is why i pretty much never wear make up; my skin can't really handle it and can't really be bothered anyway. And if people are used to how you look without, they'll never do the "omg you look ill?!" :P

If I had a grandma that made me anything so cool, it would be treasured. I hope she doesn't regret giving it away later.

I really love pasta, but I'm not too patient to boil it. Anyone have suggestions?
