Because adulting is hard and depression is highly romanticized by first world teens.
It sells like water on the desert.

Self-deprecation became mainstream lately over the years, that's been the new hotness for a while.

I'm going to be honest. It's not that great. The action doesn't seem to have any flow, and the word bubbles are all over the place and don't seem to be connected. Not to mention the arts not mind-blowing.

But
Fuck yes you should make more tomorrow.
Make more tomorrow, and make more the day after that.
Make more every day until your artistic idols are your colleagues.

Because mental illness is fashionable, but only so long as you talk about your 'crippling depression' or your 'social anxiety'.

Also making fun of how hard exercise is and how little rewards it seems to have to eating like a fucking pig are quite popular as well.

Let's not talk about things like the runner's high which is legitimately better than sex, the fact that real people with anxiety have to learn to not let it control them, or the fact that real depression isn't something that would let you draw a webcomic on a regular basis.

There's also the schadenfreude element. People who aren't suffering on a daily basis take comfort in the knowledge that they aren't the character in that comic. Life may get me down, but at least I can go to the store and only modestly worry if the cashier is judging me.

It's because, physiologicslly, your brain perceives time much faster as an adult than when you're a kid still developing your brain. And it's only going to get worse and worse from here on out. You'll have time to go through the entirety of star trek, all of the series, and not feel a god damn thing because it passed by so fast. Eventually it'll seep out into your real life where one day you're an adult, and the next you're elderly and you legitimately don't know where the time went.

thank you very much. I'll probably work more on this tomorrow, I'm using these little fan fics of mine to work on all the things I'd like to do on my OC.

I made a wolverine comic as well, pic related is page one. i can dig up the imgur if you like or unload here. you can also decline politely or not lol.

I kind of want to make a blog comic about telling your inner demons to fuck off and give advice on how to exercise and how to make yourself more socially capable and how to improve yourself without being preachy about it.

At the same time I suspect that a comic like that might actually legitimately make people mad one way or another.

>>91850887
Because its easy. Instead of actually putting effort into the creation of a world, characters, and ongoing story, its simpler to just look at a thing that happened last week and go "let's make that funny" because chances are that the same thing happened to someone else. You don't have to make a character or even really make a design because the character is you. You don't have to make a story because life made the story for you. All you have to do is spin in it a slightly sarcastic and/or over the top way and boom, done. Its the easiest way of doing comics so of course its the most prolific form of webcomics, which are typically created by complete beginners at worst and industry amateurs at the best.

That and its trendy to be a depressed and unmotivated artist now.

>>91851787

It could work, but most of the time they don't want a solution, or if they did want one, people are different and there's no one perfect solution. They just want something to relate to them and their situation.

>>91853301
For trolling purposes it could be funny, but I can't see how it would be too interesting other than that. Just guides to adulting or something? Not meaning to doubt you, senpai, but you'd have to be pretty clever and witty to make that come off as something other than dead boring or preachy.

I guess maybe the art could be a selling point, like instead of some doodley cute comic it's this extreme masculine thing with rocky vibes of self improvement and hard work.

Make the comic less about being relatable in mediocrity as much as a punk rock ish feeling of anger and energy. Make it about identifying the self destructive stuff people do and make some commentary on how our society and peers prey on those weaknesses while having an avatar that works up from being a hyper omega to a hyper Chad or something.

Make things obfuscated by society into more pragmatic goals, make emotions not into something thst dominates you, but something you can understand and Influence biologically. Give people hard facts , share why old traditional wisdom actually is practical.

Basically make it one giant motivational speech.

Question is what to avoid to not make it an annoying preach fest

>Because adulting is hard
Do people actually believe this? Or have they never even fucking tried to "be an adult"? Most of the people who whine about this shit aren't parents living on limited income trying to feed a family or seniors struggling to pay their bills. They're usually 20-something year olds where the only real financial stress they have is maybe paying off their college loans. And even then, there are so many plans now and so many ways to work it out for people who are struggling financially, it's still way less stressful than someone paying off a mortgage.

Doing your taxes is fucking cake walk now-a-days. Not only are all your bank statements saved digitally, every single question is available online and Quicken pretty much walks you step-by-step on every single thing you need. The damn program has big red X and checkmarks if you did something wrong.

You can call an Uber at any time if you're late for an appointment, don't even have to worry about owning a car anymore if you choose that life style. If you struggle to cook and don't want to crack open a cook book like an old person, you can just look up any recipe online. Fuck, the internet has made life so goddamn easy and convenient, there have been times for job interviews I lied about knowing the company's history that I got callbacks from and did research on the ride over.

People who struggle to fake it 'till they make it in today's world aren't "struggling adutls" they're just downright retarded.

Because millennials by in large are quite literally weaklings who lack both conviction, work ethic and vision. On top of this, there is an unfulfilled superiority complex and a hungering need for true validation. Everyone wants the world handed to them on a plate, and to be recognized for being a fucking special snowflake. But they don't actually want to take the effort to be original or go out of their comfort zones. They don't actually want to spend the blood, sweat and tears to realize a vision for themselves and others. The don't have the discipline or the willpower to become self-realized human beings or adults; hence they cling to childish things. Which is why comic book related media and reboots for franchises which are primarily made for consumption by kids is suddenly being marketed to them. What we perceive as creative bankruptcy is really nothing more than a clever marketing ploy to make money at the expense of a generation whose maturity has been effectively stunted.

Hence so many "LOL SO FUNNY LOOK AT ME AND MY STRUGGLE WITH FINDING BASIC WILLPOWER AND CAN'T REALLY FIND ANY REASON TO LIVE BUT I'M TOO MUCH OF A CHICKENSHIT TO ACTUALLY END IT"

It doesn't matter if they're a pink-haired tumblr feminist hambeast screeching at the patriarchy or the raving alt-right /pol/lack who blames the jews for his shortcomings. Its all the same damn thing. Its the millennial who after all of his hard work in college complains at having to do entry level work for McDonalds instead of seeing it as an experience for learning, humility or growth.

Don't deny it. You know its true. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

In America if you're young and single, it's really easy. You skip like, 85% of the asked questions and just put in your income really and it's good to go (Which most of the people who joke about being bad adults are). Assuming you have Quicken of course, which there's no reason not to. You can connect it to your bank, it auto-sends the forms to the IRS.

A W4 and 1099 form is almost all you'll need if you're a 20-something year old doing taxes, and those are given to you by your employers. You really aren't doing much but punching in numbers. And shit, if you ever get lost, just Google it up, they have every available form listing online.

"college form taxes" = 1098-T as first result.
"parent form taxes" = 8332 form
"small business form taxes" = asks you further questions on the partnership and gives you the correct form accordingly.

So yeah, for young adult Americans, it should be a walk in the park. But you wouldn't believe how many are completely baffled by it and almost proud of their ignorance as a result.

In 1974, unemployment in the UK was considered a serious political concern - the Labour party won the election with a series of campaign posters that read "There are now one million good reasons to vote Labour - the unemployed."

Unemployment in the UK is presently 1.5 million people, and this is celebrated as low - the lowest figure since 1975, indeed. i.e. lower than during the boom times in the early-2000s too. (For reference, UK population grew 14% during this time while unemployment has been at least 50%.)

Then pile on top of this the amount precarious, low-hours non-jobs that people are forced into and it's no wonder they never "grow up" into real adults with steady careers and children of their own - the option simply doesn't exist for them, stability has been sucked away by structural changes in the economy.

Yet we're still told to build our self image, our value, our contribution to society etc in terms of what job we do. Why the fuck would you feel proud of yourself for working in McDonalds, knowing the best you can do is hold that job in the face of automation? The best you can do is try to drown out the pain with consumption and SSRIs.

There's no moving beyond McDonalds for these people, except perhaps into the kafkaesque welfare system. It's called a labour surplus, and it's an ugly situation.

I hate this shit so much. It's yet another mopey, whiney artists blog that hides his existential depression behind cutesy, funny art. It's not creative and is plain lazy to churn that drivel out. It sickens me that the majority just eats this shit up too.

>>91859449
If I was a commie I'd consider it a beautiful situation because it would probably lead to revolution on their terms.

I don't even sympathise with Labour (it's a total indictment of them that even during the boom years before 2008, unemployment was higher than it is now, although to be fair governments of all parties have been fiddling the figures.), it's just a useful illustration of how perceptions on unemployment have changed while the underlying situation has actually worsened.

I don't get these comics. I don't relate to them. I moved out of home at 19 and had a bunch of jobs for years before that.I'm 22 now and I've been doing just fine. Being an adult isn't difficult. I go to work, I come home and do whatever I need to do and then do whatever I want. Weekends, I do whatever I need to do and then do whatever I want to do. Why do people make out that being an adult is difficult? You move forward from shit and don't be a fucking baby about it.

This guy is probably fucking 20. Fuck this doom and gloom mentality. You've just overloaded yourself and need a detox, being young today and growing up with all this shit burning you out and the fucking internet has made people grow up a lot faster than they should of and faster than their brains can comprehend, it makes you way more critical of yourself, others and the world around you more than you should be at a young age; it's all why there's so many depressed young people and why all these stupid webcomics exist. If you're going to sit around deconstructing things you haven't lived through and just viewed on paper then of course you're going to be miserable and everything going to feel predictable.. Chill the fuck out, stop thinking and get offline or turn off the TV for a while before you give yourself fucking early onset Alzheimers. And if you don't want to do that, then fine, go your own way but just don't make a fucking webcomic about it.

>They don't actually want to spend the blood, sweat and tears to realize a vision for themselves and others

The youth of today are too woke.
There's hardly any noble fights to them anymore. They've grown up in a world where they've been told that cops are racist pigs and the war on drugs does more harm than good, they've grown up without the fear of God hanging over their heads, soldiers are fighting pointless wars created for the sole purpose of war profiteering and oil, the working class are either underpaid or stupid and are just pawns to better the rich while living lives devoid of satisfaction themselves, the earth is fucking dying and no one over the age of 30 gives a fuck, the dream of getting older, settling down with a wife and some kids is either viewed as unattainable or empty to them, everything's pointless, they're paranoid to shit of inadvertently becoming part of the rat race like their parents and if they're born poor they're probably going to stay poor. Blame it on the over-saturation of information they've grown up with, blame it on all the fictional fantasy shit they grew up with on TV and in books and comics that they know they will never be able to attain, blame it on money, blame it on whatever the fuck you want but it doesn't come down to just being a pussy, these kids don't fucking have any purpose and it's really not their fault.

I don't know how to fix it but that's just the way it is.

I dunno if you're still here, but I guarantee you the most prolific and legendary people in every field and medium felt that they weren't improving enough at one point. You just need to keep at it and keep finding ways to improve. Draw every single day even if it's just a pointless doodle, and look up tutorials and use references whenever you can. You won't be making masterpieces overnight, but if you keep at it, you'll definitely be making progress, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time. I believe in you, Anon.

Now they're just called social justice warriors. It's not any more "acceptable" than it was before. There were always news outlets taking advantage of baiting headlines, pushing for liberal agendas, white people being offended on minorities behalves, people talking about the importance of so-and-so because they're a lesbian or tranny or whatever. And just like the 70's, they're the loud minority.

If they weren't, Trump would not have won while holding up the image of "Retaliation against over saturation of PC culture". Just because you're way more exposed to it thanks to social media and online news doing clickbait shit with "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST HAS A GAY LEFOU!" doesn't mean that's how the country's population actually acts outside of two major cities. It just means everyone's trying to get a pat on the back thanks to the internet boom of attention whoring and ad-revenue.

Pretty much. The Internet has showed us the viewpoints of more people than just ourselves, and show that the noble lifestyle we used to think was attainable just isn't as much of a reality.

I actually know how this comic feels. When I talk or meet someone irl, no one really can tell that I have aspergers. Just that I'm a quiet person that keeps to himself playing vidya. Only when I mention it do they go "oh wow really? I didn't know that".

>>91856481
I mean it's not like I've been trying to get my first job for over 7 years now. I'm not even joking with that. How do I get a fucking entry level job, if I have no experience, and no one I apply to ever bothers to call or email back?

Don't feel bad anon. It's just another edgy rant, where someone who got everything in life easy-ish wonders why some people have difficulty and tells them not to complain, packaged as a motivational.

It's part of the crisis of personal responsibility in our society, of which cartoons like Steven Universe - which tell you that it's fine to be a failed, fat and immature loser - are both a symptom and an instigator.

First off:
What's with the inverted word balloons? I mean I know who's talking by process of elimination but they're still very confusing.
Second off: Switch the art for panels 2 and 3. It's confusing to have it turn 180 degrees and then turn 90 degrees back the way we came. Remember, the line of action isn't just a movie thing, it's a visual thing.

>>91861569
Thanks anon. I was gonna add (didn't because I didn't want to blogpost but fug it), that I've kinda in a rut over getting disability because I feel like I would be missing out on chancing to get a higher life quality, or getting somewhere in the world where I could leave my mark.

I would have to miss out on all of that just to become another unimpressive spec of dust on this planet, living my life on government money, and maybe working part-time at a job that Government helped me get (I think they do that I hope), and occasionally, I'll stop and wonder what could have been.

Struggling to get a job =/= as people who make jokes about "rofl being adult is hard! amirite?".

That means the system is fucked, not that you don't know HOW to get a job. You understand job interviews, resumes, how to search around for places that are hiring. Even though you've never gotten a pay check, I assume you most likely know how to write a check yourself at the age of 24+. There are a lot of people in their 20's who legitimately don't because they've rarely done it and then make quirky comics about as if they're proud of it.

You do what every other young adult has been forced to do in your situation: Go to college. Use it to get connections and that degree puts a slight boost in you getting a job.

Nope that's me. I've NEVER come into a situation where a check is needed. But no I agree, I'm doing everything right and stuff, It's just a shitty system. Is Affirmative Action also to blame? I mean I'm a white guy living in CHICAGO for christ sake.

My family is still paying for my sister's loan to a big name college that she dropped out of, she's finishing her last two years at some other not big name college. How am I supposed to pay for that shit? Especially when the financial aid told me that my father "makes too much" as a truck repairman.

>>91861917
Businesses that don't want to spend money on training.

As a cashier from a well known and modern grocery store in my state, there are very few people that give me checks to process, even during a nine hour shift. Seriously, I'll maybe process seven of them, if I get that lucky. Checks aren't used that often.

What kind of jobs have you been aiming at? Have you been skipping the job offers that don't seem ambitious enough for you (McDonalds, retail clerk, janitor, etc), or have you tried to apply for those as well but still been unable to get any kind of job at all? Just curious about how bad the job situation is around your area.

It's mostly because most millenials are manic depressives that are discovering that "being whatever you want to be" has consequences.

You maybe missed the part were I said my FIRST job. Like first job ever! I have no resume because I have nothing to put in it.

As for what I've been aiming for, just any place that could have an open position for an entry-level without needing a college degree or 10 years of box moving or shit like that.
>Have you been skipping job offers
What job offers? I apply most of the time and they never contact me back.
>Have you tried to apply for any position as well but still been unable to get any kind of job at all?
Yes. Very sadly yes. Aside from the system me and other anon mentioned, I have NO idea what these places don't like about me. They won't tell me. They'll just accept my application, I'll wait vigorously for a call, or a email, and it'll never happen at all. I'm doing everything and anything aside from outright going to a McDonald and begging/groveling for a job.

I don't know if it's the system, or the system and also the fact that living in Chicago as a white man means competing with Affirmative Action demanding everyone else goes in front of me (Though maybe I'm wrong, I don't know). I just have no answer as to why no one ever considers a fat white 23 year old man for getting just A job, any job. Just something to give me experience so I can get my first foot out there on the path to a glorious career.

Well far as I know, getting that McDonald Burger flipping job is getting experience. Experience that helps me get a better job, and so on and so forth, as well as money to save to go towards paying off like a trade school.

Getting my first job in my eyes, is the first step towards getting a job that has great pay, and would allow me to live a really cozy life.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the idea of disability, I'd happily take it over being a bum on the street. But I feel like I'm missing out on something, no matter how bad or average folks make it sound.

>>91862115

My friend does that, he makes ten dollars an hour.

You may need to buck up and start getting the menial shit, if you want experience and at least something to add on a resume. It sucks ass, but you need to at least add something on it, hell even something in retail for a year is better than having no experience.

But then again once I get to know the people of the community I will probably regret this as I don't think they are very pleasant people to talk to, otherwise they wouldn't be doing this...
Plus I don't think I'll be able to make webcomic for my entire life and I can imagine being at my 40s and looking back at my life and realizing I've been drawing shitty webcomics all this time about how it's hard for me to stop overanalyzing stuff and just do something without worrying about its consequences, while other people actually got something done and achieved success.
Plus I don't think I'll be able to kill myself, I've always thought of this as the last resort of the weak, but it's easy to think that way when you've never been in situations that they've been in...

I've literallry cold called every single buisness that might accept me, and it was either no positions, I needed to be a driver (in Chicago so fuck that), or some foreign guy saying something in a thick accent before hanging up on me.

You got lucky because you're a foreigner ( no offense), I'm a native American.

Okay, I'm just legitimately confused. I literally dont go a fucking day without seeing an ad somewhere for a job sure there's a lot of shit you need to go to trade school for that's out of trade he pocture, but entry level jobs are so fucking abundant that now I'm just suspecting there has to be something else going on.

I mean I came from a third world shithole where jobs didn't exist anywhere cause communism so maybe my view of "abundant jobs" is skewed. Maybe (((they))) really do make it harder for americans in trade he heir own country to get a job.

But fuck, dude, why is my experience so fucking different when by all accounts I should be as jobless as you guys?

Research season jobs and try to find anything like that in your area or the nearest you can find
Seasonal jobs are less strict about who they hire because they are only hiring you for a couple months,also depending on the type of job they want to get a ton of people fast
It's experience and it's a paycheck

You say that like we can just easily have the money and resources to move to a completely different place with no problem?

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I asked about what sort of job offers you've gone after because I know that some people have expensive education on a specific area of expertise, so they're not content applying for McDonalds jobs where their education gets wasted. They don't want just any job; they want a job that's good enough for them. So, I was wondering if you were applying for any jobs at all (even the menial shit), or some specific kinds of jobs.

I was in a similar situation some years ago. I had a several years long streak of being a NEET in my resume, and I was older than you at the time. I thought my situation was hopeless. But I applied for some low-wage jobs with not much requirements, managed to get some interviews, and did get a job. I've been working as a cleaner since then (I later found out there was a shortage of cleaners in my area, which probably played a part in how I got an opportunity). It's not glamorous and it's not something that would keep everyone happy, but I'm content enough with it, and it provides me enough money to pay my living without having to seek welfare bucks.

My suggestion is that you could look into whether there are any elderly or disabled people in your area who would like caregivers / personal assistants in their daily tasks at their homes. The work hours and requirements for those kinds of jobs are very flexible and personalized. If you're correct about affirmative action fucking you over in the corporate world, I think trying to get a job working with elderly people could give you a better chance.

>>91862115
>I have no resume because I have nothing to put in it.

Do volunteer work. Yeah it sucks having to do work without pay but it will do wonders for your resume since you'll not look like a lazy neet anymore.

>>91851662
I enjoy it. Yeah, it's rough and has plenty of problems, but that's why you keep at it and improve.

There is a severe lack of any kind of creative ambition in the world.

hidden gem in this thread

>>91862454
people with experience, young people who are easily molded into the ideal employee and can be paid less, and immigrants who are more likely to put up with poor working conditions without a complaint all get prioritized over adults with a thin resume

and while I'm speaking in generalities, businesses treat generalities as hard facts because to them data that says 'statistically more likely' reads as 'can be trusted to be the case for sure'

I guarantee they'll value it over absolutely nothing especially if it's recent rather than some oneoff thing during high school ages ago. Also depending on the volunteer work it will at least give the anon some experience working with others or tools if someone asks during an interview.

It's not just the british. Spics have been claiming the same thing for decades in the USA. "You need labor" no, we need education and jobs. And education isn't 9th grade lit when most of the country needs to learn to code or fix toilets.

>without a high school education
You'd be surprised at how that might have helped you get those shitty entry level jobs. If you advertise that you have a degree when you apply to a simple job, you're just as likely to be passed over because they think that you're "overqualified", more likely to be there short term even if the job is ironically high turnover anyway, or feel entitled to more pay than they think the job is worth.

>>91862878
When you live in a country we're people are so poor they can't even steal from one another then yeah, learning to code to steal money may be the only solution

If you can't find a job just go live on a fucking farm.
And I don't mean own one I mean just go sell your shit and move out to the country and work as a farmhand.

That's literally the simplest, most basic function you can do.

And if you can't even do that then just go fucking commit a crime and go live in jail. Hell, aim for something really bad cause the more tight security prisons are pretty much a free ride away from reaponsability.

I'm in the same position as him with a college degree. In many parts of the country you go flip fries or continue looking for a real job.

He'd be better learning a trade. Now more than ever. Jobs have been consolidated as people die or leave companies so that they remain in the hands of a few people in their 50s and 60s. These people are decades out of touch to the point of being uneducated but for some reason "experience" is valuable. So you get temp positions for college grads that make minimum wage.

And then you have an entire country of people telling you YOU'RE lazy and YOU need to move to find a job or YOU need to apply and follow up more.

Start-up costs vastly outweigh income so the age of "moving" to find work is nearly over without a parental loan. No bank will give you a loan to RENT an apartment with NO job.

Temping is something most college grads should do and very, very few do. It's a good way to get used to office social skills and expectations, you have the shield of your agency ensuring your duties are what they said they'd be, and there's always the possibility of the temp job offering you a permanent position (which will come at a higher hourly wage). It's job preschool and the only downside is you really need transportation.

Sadly, a skill (or quality) many high schools and colleges are really failing to cultivate in young men and women is the willingness to dig around and work their way up.

It will start with a thing only for people with extreme ilness because yeah it makes sense for people in those situations but it will slowly transform into we don't have the right to force peot to stay alive or something like that and eventually it will be perfectly normal for people to get a suicide prescription from the doctor since therapy won't help you when you can't find a job or a single place to fit in
There will be the crazy pro choices and the pro suicide feminists that will shit blood in the door of a church or something, we have already seen this happen

its at the point where the only halfway reliable way to ensure income if you're not already easily employed is to become self-employed selling some kind of service. its why art commissions, etsy craftsmen, patreon game devs, and youtuber entertainers keep growing as a business sector

It's something a current student should do rather than an internship.

The problem is they fill fulltime positions with month long contracts and keep re-upping to keep you at minimum wage as a GRADUATE. That's setting a generation of for financial failure. Blaming them for being stuck in a basement when they have no, literally ZERO, job security past a month or two and a bunch of quick hits on a reusme which future HR people hate to see.

Temp positions are terrible for the employee and great for the agency (who skims half your pay) and for the company who doesn't want to pay for your insurance or benefits.

Plus they can fire you for wearing orange if they don't like the color. And you have NO recourse.

>also the fact that living in Chicago as a white man means competing with Affirmative Action demanding everyone else goes in front of me

Not sure if it helps, but I'm a black person living in a big city (not Chicago though) and I'm going through the same shit. I don't think Affirmative Action makes much of a difference, the problem is that tons of people are looking for work so employers can ignore anyone who isn't the ideal dream candidate. Even shitty jobs get hundreds of applicants. So employers can ignore anyone who isn't completely perfect.

That's why you see ridiculous, unreasonable postings like "entry level position, pays minimum wage; must have three years experience." That's fucking stupid, but someone out there meets that criteria, and people are desperate enough for work that all employers have to do is sit back and wait for that someone to show up. And everyone else is fucked.

I'm sorry I don't have any good advice for you, anon, but know that you're not alone out there.
