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.

All very nice indeed, but the nose throws me off if I'm honest.

The noses either look like giants zits, or they are the noses of a giant alcoholic. Extremely distracting to me and I just skimmed as a result after seeing the first couple.

Before I saw what the subject was, I saw the cartoon and knew it was Tom Hanks. I do love that the cartoonist captured Tom Hanks' very special sweetness. I hope we'll see him as Mr. Rogers soon too.
