30 Ridiculous Comics That Mock Life’s Quirks By Bradtjonas (30 Pics)

Brad, also known as ‘bradtjonas’ on Instagram, is a 35-year-old illustrator from the United States. We reached out to Brad, and he shared about how he began to create comics. “After college and just before moving to NY I started a website to post comics calledsoyourlifeismeaningless.com. It was supposed to read like a self-help book title along the lines of ‘So You’d Like to Quit Smoking’ or something like that, but I don’t know if anyone ever really got that. It eventually became a DAILY comic, more with a focus on quantity over quality, frankly, hoping to at least instill a daily work habit in myself.”

So, if you are not yet familiar with Brad’s work, you are in for a treat, as his unique sense of humor will keep you wanting more.

We were curious about Brad’s background and wanted to learn more about his backstory regarding comics. He wrote: “I grew up in Littleton, CO, the suburbs of Denver. I moved around a bunch for college and beyond but ended up settling in Oakland, CA for roughly the past decade now. I work as a freelance illustrator but have been focusing more on my own comics (when life allows) and building my Patreon for the past couple of years. I forget how regular human interaction works.”

As an artist, Brad has had his fair share of challenges. He opened up about what interferes with his creative process the most.“Depression is really an all-consuming trait sometimes, so in addition to being a theme that inspires me, it is also one of the bigger challenges to my creative process. Then there are things like social media sites changing their algorithms to favor short videos over still images, or really anything that involves the marketing side of making comics… I really don’t excel at selling myself. It’s a wild surprise that I managed to respond to the comment that instigated this lil' post, I’m really terrible at responding to such things,” wrote Brad.

Brad also shared what he would like for people to take away from his comics: “I would like people to laugh at my work. Or at least feel better after reading my comics than they did before reading them. Or if they feel worse, I’d like them to ultimately feel better after ruminating on it for a bit… if that makes sense. I don’t know. I would like my compulsion to doodle these things to not be for naught, but I can’t really seem to help doing it regardless, so sorry if any of them make your life worse.”
