Artist Creates Fun Comics That Illustrate Familiar Life Situations (50 Pics)
Interview With ArtistFun comics are a great way to pass time as they delight people of all ages. The secret of their popularity lies in the ability to make one relate to their content as cartoons often portray daily life situations that have happened to a lot of people. In the time of the internet, human nature is fully exposed on social media and that makes it easier for artists to notice general trends in human behavior and translate that into a drawing.
Jauneil Arvin Ma-ao, also known as the idiot of the east, is a Filipino artist who creates quite funny and relatable comics. He turns familiar life situations into humorous illustrations that amuse his more than 15,000 followers on Instagram. We are happy to share his artwork with you, pandas. Hopefully, these comics are just what you needed right now. Let us know what you think!

And that's why I watch YouTube through an ad blocker. It makes me so much less pissed off.
Or a Vanced application for phone users. I like supporting the YouTubers I watch, but I don't want to feed that tick called YouTube Management.

Load More Replies...Bored Panda is always happy to share new works of artists from all over the world. This is the first article featuring comics of the "Idiot of the east," so we were excited to know a bit more about Jauneil's creative process and the artist himself.
The story of the "Idiot of the east" began not so long time ago. Originally, Jauneil was planning to finish his engineering studies, find a job and save some money so that he could start making webcomics, which was his true passion. However, life took an unexpected turn and the pandemic happened. In the fourth year of college, Jauneil had his classes canceled, which left him with a lot of free time. The artist bought a drawing tablet, made some drawings, posted them on the internet, some people loved it and that's how his journey as a webcomic artist started. Guessing we should thank the pandemic that we are able to enjoy Jauneil's comics now.
I'd have liked a warning. I thought I was getting into some cute comics and bam the first one depicts how my husband took his life. That's not a fun thing to have hit you out if the blue.
I’m so sorry for your loss. A warning would’ve been great, I don’t really need a reminder of the reason I was in a psych ward for 2 months.
Load More Replies...Scene very similar to this in After Life, we don’t deserve them…not one bit.
The first thing that drew our attention was the choice of the name for Jauneil's comics - "Idiot of the east." The artist shared that when he was trying to figure out a name, he thought that if someone wanted to insult him, it would have no weight because it's already in his name. Smart! The east part is, of course, coming from the place he's from (the Philippines). "In the end, I thought it was also catchy so I stuck with it," the artist added.
Math is numbers and left brain, while English is letters and right brain - WHOEVER DECIDED TO COMBINE THE TWO IS A MASOCHIST!!!

They told us that it was called " the new math." I still can't understand it and I love math.
Honestly, if aby boy would react to me like this, i would love him.
We asked what motivates and inspires Jauneil to create comics. He replied that he just simply really likes doing it. "I guess, especially when people comment on my posts or when they message me that they really like my work. What I do enjoy is when I draw something and it turns out to be better than I expected. The most challenging part in the creative process would definitely be my tendency to procrastinate, it always delays my work!"
My college roommate was a pharmacy major. She had to take a course in reading doctors' handwriting.
My father was a pharmacist from 1940 to 1985. Man, did he have stories. But I digress. His favorite doctors were the ones like this doctor. The others made his life hell, because who do you think would be blamed for a wrong prescription being given out? Not the doctor who couldn’t be bothered to make the scrip legible—-especially since there are some drugs that may be a letter or two different name-wise, but could be dangerously different ingredient-wise.
I got a wonder what the amoxicillin is for too LOL. Has he got an STD?
I think it's because doctors have to write all the time so eventually they just stop caring how it looks
Probably what she intended to happen all along. Same for the little girl, I bet.

Men who hate cats either have control issues or they've never actually been around cats.
My dad always said he hated cats... until he met my first one in my own apartment. She sat in his lap the whole time they were over. Cats know what they're doing!

My little sister chased me and my big sister with a knife once when she was 3. She had done it with a wooden spoon before and we thought it was hilarious, so I guess she decided to up the stakes for the second round.
Should have been the other way around, starting with the man chasing the dog and ending with the dog chasing the man.
that second one is messed up tho :( DOGGIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Puppies and kittens aren't likely to wail like an air raid siren outta nowhere
You'll still end up dead. Just a bit further away than before

Parents of girls know that she will probably have sex with her boyfriend and they want to prevent that at all costs. Parents of boys know that he will probably have sex with his girlfriend and they want that to happen because he won't have to live with the consequences for 18 years and people don't care about male virginity.
Can we just stop with the top one and maybe accept our children and partners
In the long sight, it wasn't that bad at all. But always wondering, why it is so scary to meet the Parents? :D
Wow, Neil's parents are a lot more graceful. Yet has anyone noticed the girls mother in the background in the first picture?
Nah, as a lady I got the second response when I showed up with my first boyfriend and my boyfriend parents after like a mix. I don't she liked me but she didn't threaten me or threaten me from taking away her son. Overall, I've understand that she a narcissist who only cares about her own relationships. I think I've met here a dozen or so times in the six years we've been dating. Even now that we are engaged, she calls him during holidays and that's about it.
I was expecting my husband's parents to be like the first one, they were actually like the second. Well he was 36
I feel bad for whoever my future partner is, they have to go through two sets of parents. (My parents and the two older kids at school that 'adopted' me)
One time I used a Nivea conditioner that made my hair so greasy after drying that I had to wash it twice more with shampoo. It took dish soap to get my hair back to normal!
Men's all in one shampoo, doubles as: Conditioner, soap, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, bleach, whipped cream, gasoline, and pasta sauce!

As I say, about 80% of the problems in greek mythology are caused by Zeus being horny.
Most Greek Mythology is an issue of horniness (especially when male deities come into play). But yes Zeus was (is?) a mega perv.
Load More Replies...100% of the drama/problems in Greek Mythology break down to one or more of the following causes: 1- Male God horny and can't keep it in his pants, see also (2) and (3) below; 2- Female God pissed at mortal woman for see (1) - above; 3- Female God pissed at Male God for see (1) - above ; 4 - Mortal does something better than God (Male or Female), God gets pissed at mortal ; or 5- the Fates make a prophesy
Zeus f****d anything with a hole, I have no f*****g clue what the Hell Disney was talking about when they made him a loving family man

Cats have become used to having their servants on hand full time, so I suspect that they would

I've noticed people either hate ur fat or love it entirely too much 😂
My bf does this all the time. I f*****g hate it. It's uncomfortable to me and makes me feel even fatter. It's mom pudge. Leave it alone!
My nephew called me Aunt Squishy, as he put his head on me shoulder.
It's loving and sweet when your kid does it. When your adult partner does it - not so much.

Captain Literal (a cousin of Captain Obvious) would interpret that quite differently than you meant it.

I really shouldn't be laughing this much. I probably also shouldn't send it to my dad....
They’re all blind because they were staring at the sun. Maybe because she’s the hottest in the room.

Thank you for saying this. Sadly we're probably a few generations away from that sinking in. Every time I cried resulted in yelling about how boys/men shouldn't cry. A decade of that will leave some permanent marks on the brain.
Load More Replies...So I know this is totally shocking, but little boys cry too. I know, I know... But there is more... even grown men and women cry. You're welcome.
I think we should normalised how it is okay for men to cry...i know that i shouldn't be taking these too seriously but I'm just saying...if women are okay to cry, so are men...
it is actually normal to cry but i don know why i always try to hide it and act like im not emotional
Yes at 62 my Mum is still yelling me to stand up straight...I got a titanium neck & CV put off the spine repair...you try to make Al dente bones remain erect Maman...🤣🤣🤣

I have sciatica from a car accident years ago and just threw my back out today just reaching into a grocery cart. Can barely walk but boy this made me giggle through the pain.
I tend to believe socks with sandals is a German thing, no?
Load More Replies...That's so stupid. It literally does not matter. People would feel so much less stress if they learned and embraced this.
i wear crocs just so can show off my collection of diffrent crazy socks😅
Yes, because generally the older one gets the wiser one gets. Staff infections, Athlete’s foot ( tinea pedis) and plantar warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) are ALL caused by not keeping the feet or footwear clean. Socks take care of this.
I hate shoes and socks. I once made it to work, stepped out of the car and realized I forgot my shoes. I started keeping a pair in the car, just in case.

"Hear us" vs. "I believe" I thought they were interchangeable. Is there a difference?
Load More Replies...I was watching a YouTube video with my sister on my phone while I was babysitting. I then stood up to find my phone, worried that my mother may have called me without me knowing. My sister basically called me a sillybutt and sat me down again.
This is me at 28, heck this was me at 14 lol. Same with looking for my phone while talking on it
I've done one worse before, I was looking for something that I was holding in my hand.
I've witnessed this before. Grandma was looking all over for her glasses and she had them on. SMH 😂
Same with my husband and I. I love to haggle prices and get a really good deal, and my husband just pays whatever they ask. I have to practically duct tape his mouth shut when we go for big ticket items that you traditionally haggle price over, like cars. He’ll instantly cave at the first price they mention, and I’m like “Um, no. Look at the…. [or] Kelley Blue Book says….”, and get them to come down to a reasonable amount. My husband says he has never been wealthy, but I have solid proof he’s never been poor.

I'm pretty sure I saw this in a video once, from one of those random video chat sites.
My little brother has joined 2 of my sisters in the league of people younger than me but taller.
Yes my little brother tried that on after he grew. He grabbed my wrists so I couldn't tickle him, so I pulled off his lungi with my prehensile toes. 30 years ago, I'm still chuckling
To be fair, even some physicists react that way to the quantum world.

Don't let anyone know that you know even a little bit about something because then you become the go-to expert.

She was presented as such a major part of the game, but she actually wasn't.
“NOBODY CAN STOP ME FROM SEEING MY WAIFU” -its actually not my actual waifu-
is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and computer games. Blender's features include 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, raster graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animating, match moving, rendering, motion graphics, video editing, and compositing.
It's also pretty resource intensive. A laptop that can run Blender (effectively) can run pretty much any game at or near top settings. Or perhaps it's just for the posable models...

So after reading Wikipedia it sounds like it was a free editing program that went out of business and can't run on modern version of windows. So he wants an old laptop that can run the program??? Seems very much like an inside joke.
