30 Funny And Relatable Comics That Show Situations Almost Anyone Can Relate To (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistEvery day, we face awkward situations and mundane struggles that feel only relevant to us. Which makes it surprising that so many other people can relate to such specific moments. Luckily, there are many great artists out there who are able to illustrate it so spot-on, how similar we all really are.
Sabin Sanders, known as Sabincomics to over 30K of her Instagram followers, has plenty of relatable comics about the ironic moments of everyday life. Especially for girls, since the most prominent characters in the artist’s comics are Sabin herself and her younger sister.
Scroll down to see the newest comics by Sabin, and don’t forget to check out our previous post about her work.

🎵 clowns to the left of me jokers to the right here I am stuck in the middle with you 🎵
Bored Panda got a chance to ask Sabin some questions about her comics. We wondered how long it takes to complete one of them, and whether she has any personal favorites. The artist said: “Usually, it takes 3-6 hours to finish a comic, it depends on the idea.”
As for favorites, Sabin really likes the “before and after shower” one as she felt more comfortable with her art style while making it.
To be able to carry off high-waisted jeans—-which was the norm for most of the decades people have been wearing them—-you must not even have even a hint of a belly or the pants will only emphasize it. Greatly, in fact. Plus, some of us are really short-waisted and the waistband on high-waisted jeans comes right up our ribcages to nestle under our boobs. Oh, and we called them “Mom” jeans for years.
Mid-rise jeans are high-waisted for me, so...yeah XD.

Talking about the creative process, Sabin told us: “Sometimes the ideas come up on their own (especially in the middle of the night that I have to struggle finding a pen and a paper to keep notes) and some other days I need to think and search for inspiration.
Well, the preparation is just grabbing my pencil and starting sketching till I’m satisfied with what I see. It’s not always good so many times I erase everything and look for a new idea.”
Whenever I'm about to step out of the shower, I almost always think about this story my brother told me. There's a cross country skier (I'm not sure where this takes place but it's winter and it's COLD!). This guy is alone and he gets lost. He's fallen down several times, his clothes are wet and cold, it's getting dark, he'll die of exposure if he doesn't find help. Lo and behold he stumbles across a hot spring. He strips off his clothes and hangs them to dry on a tree branch and then he climbs into the hot spring, where he stays the night. It's this next part of the story I really think about as I turn off the water. He gets out of the hot spring, wet and naked, air-dries, and gets dressed in his freezing cold clothes. He eventually finds some campers who call for a rescue and he survived. But the sheer will of getting out of the hot springs into the cold air and cold clothes just gives me shivers...
That makes me think about those monkeys in Japan that flock to the hot springs in the winter. They blissfully enjoy the hot water, but with all that wet fur how the heck do they deal with getting out? But they do, and tromp up the trail like it's no big deal.
Load More Replies...I don't have problems getting in, I have problems getting out of the shower...
This hits hard right now. I'm literally job searching for greener pastures. When I had a meeting with my job counsellor all I could gush about was mu creative endeavors I have no formal, post secondary experience to actually qualify nor a realistic chance I can just quit my drag job and become a freelance illustrator with a steady income immediately. So now I'm settling for a more constructive drag job.
Good luck honey! I hope you get to keep up your drag! I really didn't realize how hard it was until I got into drag race. But whatever happens I wish you luck and happiness.

Having so many influences from everywhere can be confusing sometimes to find your own unique style, but I believe practice and devotion to your personal work eventually bring out a unique style.”
Or getting out of a great shower and realizing you didn’t put conditioner on your hair.
Once I washed my hair with body wash and forgot to wash my body...big mistake but I realized halfway through
If she ever faces creative block, Sabin finds it helpful to “take a break and try to do something else, like going for a walk, working out, or cleaning the house.”
When asked about her future, the artist says: “The ideal for me is one day to be able to publish my own comic book and make a living through my art.”
Tell them that U LOVE BEING SINGLE!!! AND IT IS U’R LIFE!!! THE END!!!! I had/have the same problem With both family & friends!! When I made it clear to Once & for all,that it was like that & They should Back off,it really did help😃
Load More Replies...At my parrents hose, one of tiles look like jesus doing balet, its interesting while poopin
On the floor tiles of my bathroom, there are shapes that consistently look like a downcast Italian guy with a beautiful mustache.
With a steak knife. It's what it deserves.
Load More Replies...This wake up call also generally comes hours before you actually need to get up, and keeps you from falling back to sleep for the rest of the night.
It stopped before it shows the part where you try to go back to sleep and it won't shut up about about "daily responsibilities"
The ones I hate are the ones where there is a pop up for the cookies, that you have to deal with, then a "sign up for our newsletter", close that and another pops up saying "tell us what you think about our site" close that and a bloody interactive chat window opens asking how they can help... LEAVE ME ALONE TO LOOK. ctrl+f4
I have an expander, Google it, and it's SO hard to eat! Like it's miserable. I have to have this on for a year.
When I laugh, I mean business. i'm not going to restrain myself from shows of mirth because it is unlady like. I will laugh like a donkey, I will probably snort, there will definitely be tears, and my abs will hurt for days.
One girl had hickups when I told her jokes. It was the most amazing laughter ever
I said "I'm groot" to my Google and then she changed my name to groot.

Load More Replies...You have permanently ruined my brain forever. I never thought of it that way but now it’s staying
Reasons. They're not good ones, and I don't know what they are, but they exist somewhere, somehow, so that's why.
My life is just a comedy! How can I not laugh at my own jokes? They're the best!
One of my favourite things is when someone laughs hysterically at their own jokes ❤️ self-sufficient happy 😆
All hair grows at the same rate, but because body hair is unwanted it seems to be a much bigger problem. And the hair on your head is long already, making it seem like it doesn't grow as quickly.
Omg same!! My friend recently tried to compliment me like this, “you dress like a homeless person but you still look hot.” Thanks? 🤣 my wee sister’s style is ON FLEEK tho like why
My sisters and I coordinate so we either all look like the first or all look like the second.
Being strong and independent does not mean you don't need love ans you enjoy loneliness.
I can't wait to find a girlfriend. It's gonna be so fun!
Load More Replies...You can be as strong as you want but most people don't want to be alone forever. I've worked in too many group homes and seen way too many lonely people to want that for myself.
Unless you're busty. Then it's like: Where do you put the straps?
Load More Replies...In the 90's all the Cool Kids undid one of the buckles and left that side flapping 😅
Things appear different in the camera than the mirror. I just decided to trust the mirror in the end.
I read something about how we see ourselves in the mirror better than in selfies because of the fact that selfies are stationary.
Load More Replies...Cannot relate with that! Afterwards I'm always thinking how much more exercise i need to get used to it and like it! Plot twist: an eternity
IKR! I tried many sports and I never had this feeling of happiness and enjoying it like others always mention. I keep hearing that "I have not found my sport yet" but at 45 I think it is safe for me to admit that exercise does not make me happy, only more depressed.
Load More Replies...I know someone who absolutely loves working out and being all fit and active and such. I am a couch potato. With my luck, I'll end up married to him XD.
That’s why i hate showering after the haircut. Ill live with the hair stabling me in my shirt
Every good hairstylist will walk you through how to maintain it at home. Also, picking a style that you can reasonably maintain yourself is key
Load More Replies...Please hairdressers, teach us how to fix our hair—and remember that those of us who wear glasses probably can’t see what you’re doing while you’re doing it, so narration helps in those cases.
Actually, I'm the opposite. I much prefer my hair after the first wash rather than straight from the hairdresser's.
I just got a haircut! My mom pulled me into her bathroom, pulled out her clippers, and went to work. I got a really cool undercut :).
Ruminating like that has cost me many a sleepless night of cringing at my dorky awkwardness. However, I’m old now and give very few f***s, so couldn’t give two shits if I’m not perfect 100% of the time and periodically commit a faux pas.
Anyone got advice on calming a racing mind at night? I’m trying bullet journaling and I’ll maybe start doing yoga at night to relieve excess restlessness but I’d appreciate advice because I’m getting like 5 hours 😔
Breathing helps. Lie on your back, close your eyes, and breathe deeply and slowly. Count each breath.
Load More Replies...use ur imagination (By that I mean pretend to pick something up from the box and say, "I've always wanted one!" and totally freak out ur friends.)
Yah, be like Eeyore then he gets an empty hunny pot and a busted ballon for his birthday.
Load More Replies...In my family we have a running joke. If someone gives you something in a box, don't open it immediately. Start freaking out, shouting about how much you love boxes and how you are so excited to get one of your very own. Then open it XD.
No you slip and fall. I did the exact same this with bowling too. I was s**t at that too
Except now when you fall, you seriously injure yourself! This happened to me at my daughter's 9th birthday party: small kid falls on front of my, so I twist and fall on my butt. My right skate/ankle and foot keeps going and twisting and I ended up in a walking boot for 6 weeks and physical therapy! Getting old sucks
It’s a famous art piece “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer
Load More Replies...Kinda sad if you think about it. Most people don’t meet face to face anymore like in the good old days. Although I wasn’t alive for that long in “the good old days “so who am I to talk?
yeah, i wasn’t around before phones and stuff either, but it does make me sad whenever i think about how the future generations likely will do almost everything online, i’m glad i was born right before kids stopped even using CDs though, i remember getting so exited whenever i got a new kidz bop or disney soundtrack :)
Load More Replies...Yep worst part is is when they're over exploiters and think you know nothing
This is very normal. Breast tissue is sensitive to hormones and change throughout your cycle. They bulk up before the period to prepare for feeding a baby, then after they flatten out because of fluctuating hormone levels.
But the baby wouldn't come for another 9 months, so that'd be a little too proactive.
Load More Replies...Yep, perfectly normal! Mine just get hella sore (although I’d wish they’d get a bit bigger so I could stop looking like a ten year old wearing her mother’s shirt when I wear low cut tops)
Load More Replies...Or the moment of fear when you don’t get your period all month and suddenly you question all of life
This is due to men having larger oil glands, allowing men to produce more sebum than women and therefore have oilier skin.
Face first then butt. And everyone knows a long rest let's a character recover all stats so next day the towel is like new.
It's a biological difference, not a beauty-based one. I have never worn a full face of makeup, but I still break out more often than my brother.
Load More Replies...My family and I just rewatched Peter Pan. Apart from noting how absolutely and insanely problematic it is, we all sympathized with Smee. Poor guy.
My mom and I bringing each other towels during the end of our showers... 🚿
I’m an identical twin, but since birth my sister has always been a teeny bit taller than me. Not by much, but I always wanted to be taller than her just once. I’m older too, but nobody believes me. They always look us both up and down and say “but she’s taller…” in an incredulous voice. I’ve tried pointing out that it doesn’t work that way, but they always look doubtful. It got annoying pretty fast lol
My sister and I used to be confused for twins. Now that she's like 3 inches taller than me, they think she's older. What is it with people relating age with height? HAVE YOU MET MY GRANDMA?!
Load More Replies...I surpassed my older sister dramatically in one summer. She’s still bitter 😂
Pssh, so am I. I have 2 younger sisters that are taller than me, and one of my younger brothers is my height. I don't think I can handle any more, but I have 6 more siblings to go through XD.
Load More Replies...Finding a swimsuit that doesn't look like it was designed for a grandma, that doesn't require a full brazillian to wear, that will support and hold your chest without letting one fly out, and one that is wedgie free. That is what takes so long. Color is just icing on the cake.
Load More Replies...Resolution : let go of the guilt of last year’s inertia and lack of productivity 😭
Brushes just anger my hair. I don't even bother with it. Curls gonna curl, I don't even try to tame whatever is happening up there anymore. I'm going for radical acceptance.
Load More Replies...Well go ahead and post it here then. I googled but could not find one.
Load More Replies...Oh dear god, valentine… people… INSPIRED BY ART STYLES? oh the humanity! Shut up lmao
The idea that if someone is on their phone they are "doing nothing" is really incorrect. Yes, they may be playing a game, but that game could be helping to build memory or teach a new language. They may be reading about world events or looking up detailed diagnostic information for some condition a loved one was diagnosed with so they can better understand what that person is going through. They may be applying for jobs, trading stocks, talking someone down from suicide, donating to animal rescue, or any of the other things people do on a computer. Just because someone isn't in front of an actually computer or laptop doesn't mean they are doing "nothing"
Very cute. They were so much more relatable then some comics I read on BP. Good job 👍
