Weng is an artist whose goal is to make his followers’ day by creating hilarious comics everyone can relate to. Having a nine-to-five job, his “quirky slice of life comics” is created when the sun goes down. He began posting his four-paneled drawings at the end of July to entertain his admirers.

He also has a YouTube channel where he posts animated videos about everyday actions and problems. Like, for example, how technology affected our lives or giving some funny information about Malaysians.

“Animation takes up most of the time, so every now and then, in between producing videos, I post comics to entertain you guys! For those who don’t prefer videos, there’s always a written version of my stories in the video posts,” Weng also known as Wengsome on social media said in a statement.

Although he doesn’t have a big following, his work is amazing and worth checking out. If you are more into comics, check out his Instagram account, or website, but if you prefer animation and stories, hop onto his YouTube channel and enjoy his content.

Marieke Voorsluijs from Club Geluk first became known a couple of years ago when she knitted her son. Yes, you read that right! At the time, her child was reaching puberty and didn’t want to cuddle with his mom anymore. So she found a solution. She made a real-life doll made of yarn. Now she is back with her newest work.

Wanting to set the bar a little higher regarding her knitting skills, the Amsterdam-based knitter decided to create a doll of her son all grown up, and her ex-husband, who left her after knitting her son.

“I missed him, but I had the love of my knitted son. But when my son also went away to live on his own I thought of knitting a new perfect husband as well. This one is already better than my ex because this one wants to take a selfie with me,” she said in a statement on Bored Panda.

Besides making detailed, realistic-looking pieces, Voorsluijs also describes herself as a textiles enthusiast, knit hysteric, fiber artist, author of 9 craft books. She knits hams, TVs, plants, and everyday stuff with lots of details. Currently, she has reached almost 5,000 followers on Instagram, where you can check out some of the images.

Illustrator and author Maja Säfström is known for her playful style of illustration based on her witty observations of the world around her. Based in Stockholm, she works full-time as an illustrator and runs her own shop in central Stockholm.

Having earned a tremendous international following on social media, as well as widespread critical acclaim and multiple awards, it’s surprising to learn that Säfström’s background actually lies in architecture. “I have been drawing for as long as I can remember,” she shared in an interview with Lake. “I drew a lot when I was a kid. I had a few years in high school where I thought I was really bad. Then I started studying architecture at university and found myself drawing the scenes around the buildings with MUCH more enthusiasm than the actual houses. Well, one thing led to another!”

Indeed one thing led to another. “I used to work as an architect and illustrating was something I did in my time off work,” she says. “Now that it is my full-time job, I realize, it is much less meditative. Because now the drawings are often commissioned, which is a bit different from just drawing whatever you feel like. It is the best job in the world though. Being an illustrator! My new hobby is taking care of my plants at home.”

Each of her illustrated pieces is made by first drawing a thin outline with a pencil, after which the final drawing is made with a fineliner. Her comic-like illustrations often include speech bubbles. “I think the speech bubbles are a very important part of my work,” says Säfström. “I love combining text with drawings. I often experience something in life and make a drawing of that.”

His creative process includes a lot of extermination and sketching. “It might not look like it because my illustrations tend to be pretty simple, but the most simple drawing could have hundreds of sketches beforehand,” he notes. “A lot of it is just boiling down ideas until the drawings are totally efficient.”

But though simple, his creations pack a punch. “Ultimately I want my illustrations to have the same kind of impact that a great Mitch Hedberg one-liner joke has, haha,” says Alcala. “Really simple, hits you hard on contact, yet can stick with you for a really long time.”

Cats are our favorite pets who somehow manage to surprise us every single day. Like, for example, there’s a cat named Bean who absolutely adores bananas and the photos of him licking this fruit have gone viral lately, mostly because they’re adorable and a bit inappropriate.

Bean’s owner says that her pet tasted bananas for the first time when he was about 9 months old. He wanted only a sniff and ended up liking this fruit very much. Now, cats shouldn’t be eating too much fruit, including bananas, so, unfortunately, Bean doesn’t get to eat his favorite treat too often.

“His vet knows about it because we’ve seen her several times this last year or so for his bouts of uveitis that he’s had a small problem with but he’s doing great and it is unrelated. She got quite a kick out of his photos. Banana would be unhealthy for a cat if consumed regularly though. So it’s definitely not a diet staple for him,” Bean’s owner told Bored Panda.

Bean’s other favorite snacks include Noosa Yogurt, scrambled eggs, veggies, and cheese. His unusual taste in food and adorable photos gained Bean more than 11.3k followers on Instagram.

Check out his photos below.

There’s a new viral meme challenge online and it’s actually hilarious. It all started when Dolly Parton posted four photos of herself in celebration of her 74th birthday, captioning the post: “Get you a woman who can do it all.” The photos represented her different “sides” for different social networks: Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder.

While many people replied to wish her a happy birthday, some celebrities decided to copy her post. Soon, the internet was flooded with posts by various actors, singers, TV personalities, and even famous animals like Doug the Pug. They all shared how their own social media personalities would look like, and below are some of our favorites!

If you’re around 30 years old, you know that’s a weird age when you feel young and old at the same time, depending on the situation. Depending on what your life looks like, you may realize that your 30s aren’t any different from your 20s or you may lead a completely different life than you did 10 years ago.

When we’re in our teens and 20s, we don’t want to believe some common things people claim will happen once we hit the 30-year mark. While not all the warnings turn out to be true, some do and it’s often the most surprising ones.

Twitter user @exfatalist recently asked people to share such revelations and the answers were hilarious! “Hey, over 30 Twitter, what was something about aging you always thought was a trope but turned out to be true? I’ll go first: random backaches for simply *existing* after three decades of suboptimal posture.”

Bella Sriwantana is a Thai illustrator and graphic designer who “draws comics sometimes”. Now living and working in Belgium, the artist illustrates the things that happen to her daily.

“I draw things that actually happen in my daily life, some are facts about myself which some people can relate to and laugh with,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “My comics are mainly about my common struggles and my lifestyle which sometimes feature my boyfriend in the story.”

From cooking and having a holiday dinner with family, to building furniture and wearing too much makeup, Sriwantana shares her hilarious artwork twice a week, so she could “be in touch with her followers”.

“The feedback and the support I receive from them truly encourage me to keep drawing these comics because I love to make people smile,” she added.

93-year-old Pauline Kana, better known as “Granny,” and her 27-year-old grandson Ross Smith became social media stars thanks to their close relationship and unique sense of humor. The duo started building their money-making empire six years ago when Ross decided to feature his grandma in one of his short videos on Vine.

Granny proved herself to be a valuable partner in making these funny videos and she’s been working with her grandson ever since. Ross and Granny are making comedy sketches for YouTube, mini-documentaries where Granny shares her wisdom and experiences, but they also create hilarious Instagram content by dressing up in different costumes.

“Honestly most people – and I was probably one of those people at the time – don’t have respect for the elderly,” Smith told CNBC. “Once you’re old, you kind of go away and go to a nursing home. Doing this opened my mind to how awesome old people are and how cool they live their lives. They appreciate the small things we don’t appreciate in this fast-paced advertising industry-based life.”

Thanks to their unique relationship, the duo garnered a huge following – they have 892k Youtube subscribers, 2.7 million Instagram, and 9 million Facebook followers.

Check out Ross and Granny’s adventures on their Instagram page.

She got quite a kick out of his photos. Banana would be unhealthy for a cat if consumed regularly though. So it’s definitely not a diet staple for him,” Bean’s owner told Bored Panda.

Bean’s other favorite snacks include Noosa Yogurt, scrambled eggs, veggies, and cheese. His unusual taste in food and adorable photos gained Bean more than 11.3k followers on Instagram.

Check out his photos below.

There’s a new viral meme challenge online and it’s actually hilarious. It all started when Dolly Parton posted four photos of herself in celebration of her 74th birthday, captioning the post: “Get you a woman who can do it all.” The photos represented her different “sides” for different social networks: Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder.

While many people replied to wish her a happy birthday, some celebrities decided to copy her post. Soon, the internet was flooded with posts by various actors, singers, TV personalities, and even famous animals like Doug the Pug. They all shared how their own social media personalities would look like, and below are some of our favorites!

Which one do you like the most? We’re torn between Mark Ruffalo’s transformation abilities and the always hilarious Friends characters that were also featured in this game.

If you’re around 30 years old, you know that’s a weird age when you feel young and old at the same time, depending on the situation. Depending on what your life looks like, you may realize that your 30s aren’t any different from your 20s or you may lead a completely different life than you did 10 years ago.

When we’re in our teens and 20s, we don’t want to believe some common things people claim will happen once we hit the 30-year mark. While not all the warnings turn out to be true, some do and it’s often the most surprising ones.

Twitter user @exfatalist recently asked people to share such revelations and the answers were hilarious! “Hey, over 30 Twitter, what was something about aging you always thought was a trope but turned out to be true? I’ll go first: random backaches for simply *existing* after three decades of suboptimal posture.”

Check out our favorite answers below.

Bella Sriwantana is a Thai illustrator and graphic designer who “draws comics sometimes”. Now living and working in Belgium, the artist illustrates the things that happen to her daily.

“I draw things that actually happen in my daily life, some are facts about myself which some people can relate to and laugh with,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “My comics are mainly about my common struggles and my lifestyle which sometimes feature my boyfriend in the story.”

From cooking and having a holiday dinner with family, to building furniture and wearing too much makeup, Sriwantana shares her hilarious artwork twice a week, so she could “be in touch with her followers”.

“The feedback and the support I receive from them truly encourage me to keep drawing these comics because I love to make people smile,” she added.

If you are curious to see her comics, scroll down or have a look at her Instagram page for more. Can you relate?

93-year-old Pauline Kana, better known as “Granny,” and her 27-year-old grandson Ross Smith became social media stars thanks to their close relationship and unique sense of humor. The duo started building their money-making empire six years ago when Ross decided to feature his grandma in one of his short videos on Vine.

Granny proved herself to be a valuable partner in making these funny videos and she’s been working with her grandson ever since. Ross and Granny are making comedy sketches for YouTube, mini-documentaries where Granny shares her wisdom and experiences, but they also create hilarious Instagram content by dressing up in different costumes.

“Honestly most people – and I was probably one of those people at the time – don’t have respect for the elderly,” Smith told CNBC. “Once you’re old, you kind of go away and go to a nursing home. Doing this opened my mind to how awesome old people are and how cool they live their lives. They appreciate the small things we don’t appreciate in this fast-paced advertising industry-based life.”

Thanks to their unique relationship, the duo garnered a huge following – they have 892k Youtube subscribers, 2.7 million Instagram, and 9 million Facebook followers.

Check out Ross and Granny’s adventures on their Instagram page.
