Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source It's a common misconception that everyday life is dull, void of any humor, and just straight-up unappealing to even think about. However, there are artists like Stephen Beals who focus explicitly on mundane things and disprove this notion. Who's Stephen Beals? He is the artist that created "Adult Children Comics" which we present here. If we were to shortly sum up what they're about, we'd have to say that they're mostly about stuff that most of us have to deal with: small-talk conversations, dreadful work, leisure and all of the other fun stuff we experience day to day. Which is why they're very relatable and understandable, and even hit painfully close to home. The artist was very happy to get published by Bored Panda, as he's a fan of the website himself, so Stephen, if you're reading this right now: your comics are well worth it!

People who refused to wear masks, those who wanted an audience for their conspiracy theories, and those who loudly shared their political preferences filled my day. I put it in the comic. Of course I got COVID, so I put it in the comic. I got a very small raise for my troubles, so I put it in the comic. My "Big Idea" now is to simply write a book on retail. No matter what you are buying, the person you are giving money to is not being paid enough, but probably likes you anyway.

View more comments "Lately I've been writing about retail because I took my graphic art skills to a standing position. Graphic art can be very fulfilling, but you're not talking to anyone. Sitting and snacking all day, you can literally hear your rear end getting wider as your Levi's split open. I now work for a print shop where I get to make things for people in person. Some days are very rewarding while other days make me want to stitch up my Levi's and sit back down. However, people are endlessly fascinating and I can't give it up." #10 stbeals Report Final score: 120points POST Marcelo Mabuchi Marcelo Mabuchi Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Exact words 30 30points reply View more comments #11 stbeals Report Final score: 115points POST Haru Brujis Haru Brujis Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Religions are very contradictory. 50 50points reply View More Replies... View more comments "My comic took a turn during the pandemic because I was working six days a week and there was a lot of steam to be let off. People who refused to wear masks, those who wanted an audience for their conspiracy theories, and those who loudly shared their political preferences filled my day. I put it in the comic. Of course I got COVID, so I put it in the comic. I got a very small raise for my troubles, so I put it in the comic. My "Big Idea" now is to simply write a book on retail. No matter what you are buying, the person you are giving money to is not being paid enough, but probably likes you anyway. Otherwise they would go lift boxes and earn more money." #12 stbeals Report Final score: 113points POST CatMan CatMan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This is funny 43 43points reply View More Replies...
