We reached out to Sarah and asked her some questions about her work. The cartoonist shared that her main inspiration for starting her series was… boredom. She added: “For most of my childhood I didn’t have a TV or electricity. My mom raised me on a Greek island and then on a hippie commune in northern California—off the grid.

Take picking them up from school, for instance. You, as a mom or a dad, are there to bring your little one home, excited to see them, when they open the car door and express their great disappointment that it’s you and not the other parent here today.

However, the same “law” applies to moments that are, let’s say, less than ideal. For example, having a brain fart on social media and sharing a bizarre status update, or going live on TV with an explicit item in the background. The subreddit ‘Hilarious Cringe’ is an excellent example of that.

A home is a sanctuary; it’s a place to rest and recharge. So, we model it and decorate it in a way that brings us the most comfort. For some people, it’s all about empty spaces, decluttering, and minimalism. But others live by the motto that more is actually more. For them, it’s all about color, eccentricity, and excess. These people are maximalists, and today, we’re covering the sanctuary of their aesthetic – the Maximalism subreddit....
The ultimate test is bumping into them in real life. A recent r/AskReddit thread has its users sharing their best and worst celebrity encounters, and the responses ranged from heartwarming to disillusioning.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Steve shared that though he loves creating comics, he sometimes takes a break from them. “I’ve occasionally gotten frustrated at the lack of interest some of my comics have received and have backed away from them. But on balance, I’d rather make comics than not, because on the occasions I have stopped, I have been much less happy!” So, let’s give Steve some love, as we think his creations are pretty fun!...
However, we humans are often more resilient than we think and can come out of dark moments stronger than before. A good example comes from the Reddit user BondEmilyBond.

“I try to let the object dictate where I’m going. I pick a random object, put it on my desk, and then just start staring at it, desperately hoping that something clicks.

Remember drawing mashups with Snoopy a lot back then (and I still do),” wrote Daniel. Daniel replied: “I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s and then later watching late ’90s cartoons after stumbling home from a night out....
