Hey everyone! My name is Yasemin and I am a freelance graphic designer & illustrator based in Istanbul, Turkey. On the first day of the lockdown due to the corona outbreak, I knew I had two options. Either I was going to do a Netflix marathon for who knows how long, or I was gonna try to make lemonade from this situation with the sourest of lemons.

More info: Instagram | Facebook

Given that, I decided to draw some comics about my feelings towards quarantine. After making one or two, I started to realize that many of my struggles are very common with almost everyone in the world right now! That feeling gave me great strength to move on, since I wanted people to have a laugh while going through endless bad news scrolling through social media.

    Considering all that, I named my series "Struggles." I generally come up with ideas by observing my surroundings and checking in with my emotions. One day, this pandemic will end, but some of our mutual daily struggles will carry on. My goal with this series is to take a moment, find something funny about it, and have a little laugh about it. Hope you like the series—cheers!

    I thought I was the only one that had a similar experience. In my case, I'm getting dressed, and start putting on my socks. Oh wait, I need to add something to the grocery list. (my sock is half on.) Item added to list. (Sock goes on.) Do I have enough cash in my purse? I check . (second sock is waiting.) Oh, I better untie my shoes so I can put them on. They're ready. (sock goes on.) (now for the shoes.) Wait put your jeans on first! ... and so it goes. By the way, I used to get dressed at a normal pace, before COVID 19. Now, my mind wanders.

    If I had that type of protection, (without the tether limitations) I would go out more often.

    Who keeps donuts in a fridge? Normally, me and my family eat a dozen within at least an hour.

    It's worse when you have glasses and you can't see through the fog, but better than dying

    I flop on my bead on my stomach with my feet hanging off the side and read for hours in that position. I get cramps and my back hurts sometimes but it's very comfy
