The Crowbar Comics usually starts with a familiar setting. There is an everyday situation that most people can relate to. However, those moments quickly get turned upside down with a single panel or a few lines of text.

In a recent chat with Bored Panda, the creator of The Crowbar Comics shared some insights into their creative process. As it turns out, the process isn’t as simple as some might think. They pick out a random word, then come up with all sorts of unusual situations that could happen around it, and only then the comic start to come to life.

“I’ll often start sketching the concept and modify the dialogue, keeping it as short and effective as possible. Then, if it graduates the sketch phase, it gets color and ink,” they explained.

But the comics that we want to show you today are a bit different. They all deal with tragic events, and they manage to touch the very core of your heart and may even make a tear come to your eye.  

Tum Natakorn Ulit is a 27-year-old artist who expresses his feelings through comics. He is from Bangkok, Thailand, and he managed to captivate the hearts of people from all around the world. His unique stories with unexpected endings have brought many people to tears and even made some of them rethink their life choices. You may say that they’re just simple comics, but they all come with an important message at the end. The artist gets his inspiration from his own life experiences, and turning them into universally understandable comics is a way for him to express his feelings. 

Waste no more time and check out his artwork!

“In 2013 my husband Ed and I made this crazy decision of selling everything we owned, pack one suitcase each, and moved (with our two fat cats Hamburguesa and Cereal) to Europe, in the search of our dream city/place to live,” she writes on her website. “We’ve been living all over the world since then: Cologne, Berlin, London, Hastings, and less than a year ago we moved to New York City.”

The nomad couple are now working on a graphic novel together. And when she’s not doing that, Meneses works on new products for her online shop, shares illustrations and webcomics on Instagram, and films videos for her YouTube channel. A busy life, to say the least.

“I think many illustrators are going to relate to this, but every time I get stuck in a creative rut, I watch a Studio Ghibli movie,” she tells the Patreon blog. “I also love going out and walking… When I’m having a tough time, I also try to take it easy and read, draw stuff I like, take a bath, work at a cafe, meet up with my fellow illustrator friends, and talk with my husband Ed. He’s a creator, too, so we go through the same emotions that surround creativity. In my opinion, talking with someone can be one of the fastest ways to overcome a tough time or a creative crisis.”

Her pastel-colored illustrations are both dreamy and whimsical. Well worth following on Instagram.

Although the main character is Sarah herself, Andersen avoids naming her, because she feels like many people project themselves into the character, and she doesn’t want to personalize her too much.  

She began creating these comics during her sophomore year of college, and soon started publishing them on Tumblr. The first comic that went viral was about the dread of waking up in the morning, and that’s where she got her footing.  

In an interview for Things in Squares, Andersen said she would like to have the superpower to transform into anything. She published three comic books so far and now she has committed to developing a small greeting card company she started with two other illustrators. She has one crucial message to all of her fans: “Never be afraid to be yourself and to laugh at yourself!”

Bound by their obsessions for carrot cake and alien movies, this Saarbrucken (Germany) based pair has been creating fun stories about witches, robots, animals, flashers, family life, pirates, among many other topics.

The “War and Peas” website is divided in several categories, to include “Relatable,” “Wicked,” “Love,” “Feminism”, and “Nerd.” Clearly, not only do the webcomics cater to a wider-ranged audience (with the same style but different topics), but the creators are also making deeper, social and political statements through their humorous work.

Body positivity, sex positivity, and representation across lifestyle choices are some of the marks that give this comic an edge in possessing a meaningful subtext beyond the joke. Sometimes, of course, it’s just funny, and that’s still just as awesome.
