I Show How The COVID-19 Pandemic Changed Our Lives In Humorous Comics (19 New Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I am Irina, a designer from San Francisco. It's the end of November, and it's hard to believe we are still in the global pandemic and cases are still going up in San Francisco. With holidays coming up, we have more time to reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives forever.

Since day one, drawing has been a way to blow off stress and share some laughs with others. I work (from home) as a designer during the day, and spend my nights drawing. One day, I just grabbed a piece of paper and started doodling. Lately, I've switched to drawing on an iPad and doing some simple animations to bring drawings to life. I called the series Covid Life, focused on everyday struggles and how almost every aspect of life has been affected―from eating, traveling, shopping, celebrating with family, and so on.

I thought and hoped the pandemic would be over soon, but it keeps on dragging along. I also thought I would run out of ideas, but they are still coming! This is my 3rd post, hope you enjoy these. This is my 3rd post, hope you enjoy these. You can find my previous posts here and here.

I mean, since we spend most of our time inside and do work online (most of us), internet is basically a necessity.

My refrigerator has looked more like the first photo. My cabinets too. Not only due to lack of funds do I find myself eating things that I had bought months ago but I never got an appetite for, I avoid shopping until it's absolutely necessary.

Imagine just dying, and waiting at the gates of heaven like 'Let me in!!!!' while zoom keeps on rolling. Then it kicks you out and you are plunged in the dark void of space.

In zoom meeting if someone gets asked a question they would pretend to freeze by not moving. Before they blink they would turn off their cameras and type in "sorry, my internet commutation isn't stable"

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.

It’s strange for me to read things like this to do with covid as I come from an area in Australia where it barely even touched our state. Life didn’t change a lot for us - we had to stay home for a while and there’s new rules about checking in to places for eg., but generally, life was pretty much the same. It’s incredible to think that there are many places in the world that are still in lockdown and having to wear masks. Masks haven’t even been thought of here and life is pretty much just plodding along as per usual.

I saw a guy infront of the bank put a mask on and walk in. Not too many months ago I would call the cops, now you are supposed to call the cops if someone doesn't walk into the bank with a mask on.
