These Comics Make Everyday Life Way Funnier Than It Should Be

We asked Alyssa if she instantly thinks "comic material!" during her day or if her stuff only gets funny after she looks back. Turns out, after eight years of daily doodles, she's basically a comic-spotting ninja now. Her friends even joke, “Hope this doesn’t end up in a comic!” whenever they act goofy. And, hey, when her car won’t start or her quinoa hits the floor, at least she’s got something to draw!

Since Alyssa’s family, friends, and doggos pop up in her comics all the time, we asked if they love the spotlight or if some stuff stays off-limits. Most folks are cool with it - they even see it as a way for Alyssa to say, “You’re awesome.” But don’t worry, she knows the privacy game too, so she plays it smart with who and what ends up on the page.

After years of scribbling life stories, Alyssa’s learned to adore the tiny, goofy moments. Big events are cool, sure, but stuff like forgetting groceries, a dog peeing on the bed, or your mom rocking a skirt backwards? Gold! That’s the real stuff that turns into silly, lovable comics.

Wondering how many panels a comic might get? Alyssa says it’s all about the story. Sometimes it’s a quick one-liner, other times it’s a multi-day epic, like the hilarious saga of carrying a giant chest of drawers up the stairs (we’re exhausted just thinking about it).

The toughest part? Making sure her comics truly show how much her loved ones mean to her (and also how much her dog sheds like a maniac). Looking back on eight years of doodles is like a grown-up diary - and yep, it’s pretty special.

It blows Alyssa’s mind that strangers who know nothing about her world find her comics funny and relatable. But hey, we all have those family quirks and everyday fails, right? Her comics are like a secret handshake for everyone who's ever dealt with life’s little weirdness.
