I knew I wanted to do something special hitting that big 30. I had always wanted to try my hand at slice-of-life webcomics and figured this would be as good a time as any. How fitting it was that my special gift to my workaholic self was more work.

Keep Busy is a semi-autobiographical, dark comics. The drawing ideas often come from real experiences, fears, and thoughts I have or have had. While the cartoon drawings have given me more work which I already had plenty of, I don’t regret making these funny comics, for it has been a wonderful place to turn frustration into comedy. This dark humor makes me laugh and maybe – just maybe – it makes you laugh as well.

In the end, all I ever hope for is that it entertains you.

    My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.
