Ellen Woodbury is back on Bored Panda with her hilarious PizzaCake Comics. Many of you will surely remember this series, known for its witty dialogues, unexpected twists, and relatable situations, all served with great humor.

As the artist previously shared with us, "I love making people laugh and sharing funny/weird situations with people. The drawing part is really fun, but it's incredibly satisfying to entertain others." With that in mind, let’s dive into her latest selection of comics.

We spoke to Ellen again and asked even more questions to gain insight into her creative process as a cartoonist. One of our first curiosities was about the strangest place or situation that had ever inspired an idea for one of her comics. She graciously shared this with us: “Oh I get ideas in all kinds of spots, like in the doctor's office, while grocery shopping, picking my kids up from school, or even on the toilet. I think some people just can't turn off observing things and doing their own internal commentary, for me it's been quite useful!”

    When asked about her least favorite comic trope or cliché that she avoids in her work, the cartoonist responded: “Hmm, that's a tricky question. I wouldn't say I try to avoid any tropes, but I do try not to do themes I've seen other artists touch on often. I like to keep my content free of swears (for the most part) and I don't really stick to one topic or theme, so it's quite easy for me to avoid doing the same old, same old.”

    You are sitting down, so you have a lap. You have 2 free hands. You aren't "doing" anything. This is prime Kitty Cuddle time.

    Next, Woodbury discussed the impact of AI-generated art and storytelling, exploring how it could potentially influence the future of comic creation: “I'm not sure AI will have a huge impact on comics and story-telling because most people want content that comes from humans. It's a form of honest expression and a way to feel connected with others. A consistent art style and well-written comic can carry a lot of emotion and make people bond over certain topics. I think there's this hollow feeling when we get content being churned out by AI because it loses that intentional feel and cohesive design. And even if it becomes indistinguishable from human-made art, it will always have this "uncanny valley" element which most finds a bit off-putting.”

    Being back in school, unprepared for a test, is a common dream. So is being nude in public. Another common one is loose teeth, which supposedly signifies that you are afraid of getting old.

    Hold still! I can't calibrate the space laser if you keep moving out of focus.

    Lastly, we wanted to learn which part of the comic creation process Ellen considers the most "underrated." She shared with us: “Okay so this is weird but I absolutely love the writing process and getting a really good idea fleshed out. I find it exciting and interesting, whereas I see lots of other artists can get frustrated with scripts and having issues with writer's block. To me, you can't force it. You have to let the ideas come naturally because then it's a more immersive experience for your readers. I find using my voice and sharing my thoughts is a way to connect with others, but I'm also an opinionated loud-mouth so maybe that's just me ha ha!”

    Yeah. I guess you really have to hit rock bottom and then some before you finally start becoming your best self. At least that’s the catharsis I hope to see start after the inauguration, when people’s eyes start opening to the REALITY of his evil, and that of his minions, and how their support of him does NOT exempt them from being s**t on by him in return.

    I wouldn't shut up until I changed schools for 4th grade. I was bullied and had no friends, but autism puts major holes in that mental filter for when to talk and when not to.

    I can relate to this. I recently found out that I was the result of an "Accident" involving a broken rubber. Quite the blow lemme tell you.

    Is the woman a pillow? Are the men tiles? Hmm, marshmallow, chocolate bar, and graham crackers?

    Security should not be allowed to wear pants - or undies! - while on duty

    "It's security" has been the excuse since forever. But try telling a cop "I am not allowed to answer that, it's 'need-to know' " and they go crazy at you...

    At that point, I'd just use the men's restroom. Act determined and like you're meant to be in there, and they'll be more embarrassed or just understanding than anything. We're not trying to do anything else in the bathrooms. Just use them for their intended purpose.

    You know it was once illegal for men to enter women's bathrooms and locker rooms, and we never had any gender inspections necessary. So the fears on this one are unfounded. We will just handle it the way we used to. If a guy starts flashing himself and his manly bits in our areas we notify security and he is removed, plain and simple. Not to be rude, but I can't help but wonder why they are horrified by the made up gender inspections, but are perfectly okay with forcing Women to get naked and shower with biological males against thier will. (Before you ask, no, claiming to want to be a woman is not nor will ever be an excuse for that kind of behavior. I'm speaking as a survivor of abuse myself. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for that kind of behavior). The only way to satisfy both parties would be to make every changing stall, Shower, and bathroom single use only. With deadbolt locks. Then everyone will be granted absolute privacy and protection.

    My favorite part of this whole charade is how you people act like the sign that says Women’s Bathroom magically repels men.

    Plot twist: The adult content consists of paying taxes, applying for a mortgage and looking for better jobs.
