Bored Panda reached out to Ruth to learn more about her creative process and herself. To start, we were curious to discover how her journey as a comic artist began. The artist shared, "I've always loved drawing since I was a kid, but it was in 2017 when one of my students encouraged me to start posting my doodles and ideas on Instagram."

Death has a green thumb. Granted, it's only moss and algae growing on the bone, but still...

Have you ever marveled at a cartoon or illustration and wondered, "How did they come up with that?" Ruth told us that she mostly gets her ideas when she's running. "It's probably the only time I get for myself when I'm not interrupted by anything or I'm not busy doing something else. I usually write down the idea on my phone or record an audio. Every now and then, I check my notes and choose the one I like according to the moment or the mood I'm in."

Ruth loves it when her followers let her know that her comics are very funny and witty. "Or when they suggest I should start submitting some of my drawings to The New Yorker... I'd love that!"

Put your clothes in the dryer with an anti-static sheet then tumble-dry them for half an hour on the "delicates" setting. it'll get rid of 90-ish% of the cat hair.

that 10% though.... those are the ones that you find randomly.
Load More Replies... Creating comics is a fascinating and creative journey. However, like any artistic endeavor, cartoonists encounter a set of challenges. Ruth says that artists depend on the support of their followers, and nowadays, this support often comes from social media. It can be really frustrating for artists when their art doesn't reach as many people as before. "For a while, I thought my art wasn't that good but after giving it a lot of thought, I'm not here for likes: just want to draw what I like.
But the biggest challenge of them all is to find time to sit down and draw. See, I'm a science teacher working full time and I love it! So when I'm not at work, I'm preparing stuff for the kids or making something up to have more enjoyable classes."

People wash their bras. I think they just don't get washed as much as all our other clothes. There's nothing wrong with that and it doesn't make someone filthy or gross.

Iliza Schlessinger has a great comedy bit on the plight of your go to bra that is hilariously accurate!

Well fitting bras are difficult to find. So they tend to get the 'aww, one more day won't hurt' treatment too often. And as soon as they're dry, they're worn again!

This whole thing about people not washing jeans and bras after they are worn is just nasty!

Take the Monday off too and start back on the Tuesday. Gives you a psychological edge and a 4 day week

Apparently it’s a common thing to try and hold your breath when characters do. The joke is that since most of the movie takes place underwater, you’d never get to breathe.

Heart and mind are zen because big peaceful smurfs are allowed to kill everyone. Also, loss of a child sends mother into killing spree. Fun movie. 😁

I have neither of these problems. My only problem when eating spicy food is that my breath gets "chili-ish" and whenever I breath through my nose I breath out hot air.

I think it is just saying that January can be harder to surmount than Everest.
