I know not everyone is in love with memes, but I am. Even when they’re not particularly funny, I appreciate the idea behind them, and the way they are shared around the internet. If you agree with me, you’ll enjoy this blog I’ve discovered. The writer finds interesting comics and memes and posts them for readers to enjoy.
I found this blog through a friend who reposted one of their comics on Facebook. I checked out their blog and found several others that I enjoyed. They tend to be lighthearted and fun, making them great for a pick-me-up or for sharing with friends like my friend did.
It’s nice to see someone who is excited about what they write about. The writer’s enthusiasm comes through in every post. I recommend this blog for anyone looking for something new and fun to read!
If you work in a creative field, you probably have to do a lot of presentations. And if you’re a writer, artist, or designer, those presentations usually involve showing your work.
And showing your work can be scary! In fact, it can be so scary that some people never do it.
But here’s the thing: When you put your work out there, good things happen. You get feedback. You find new opportunities. People hire you to do more work for them!
So yeah, showing your work can be scary… but it’s not nearly as scary as NOT showing your work.
So with that in mind, here are 10 comics that will hopefully make you feel better about putting your art and ideas out there into the world.
Everyone needs a bit of comic relief every now and then, and the webcomics below are the perfect cure for your weekday blues. Check out today’s must-read comics, and keep coming back to this page: We’ll be adding more in the days to come.

At the San Diego Comic-Con, Her Universe debuted a new collection of Star Wars clothing for women and girls. The reception was overwhelmingly positive, but there was one voice in particular that made everyone’s day.
“I don’t know who you are,” the voice said, “but I love what you do.”
The voice was Ashley Eckstein, the creator of Her Universe, a clothing line catering to female sci-fi fans. She turned around to see Carrie Fisher standing behind her.
Eckstein has always been a huge Star Wars fan. She started as an actress, working on shows like That’s So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, but found she had a special passion for science fiction projects. She ended up landing the role of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and it was during this time that she discovered there wasn’t much in the way of female fangirl merchandise.
When Disney announced they were doing a new set of Star Wars movies and TV shows, Eckstein saw an opportunity to put her passion into action — so she pitched her idea for Her Universe to Lucasfilm. They loved it and helped make it happen by providing licensed artwork.
We’re honored to present this excerpt from the new book, Least Wanted: A Century of American Mugshots, by Mark Michaelson and Steven Kasher (Abrams Books, 2014). Least Wanted is a collection of mugshots from the United States spanning more than 100 years.

His description states that he was “drunk and disorderly”—he had “two black eyes and swollen jaw.” He was described as having “badly disfigured” facial features. On his left cheek there are two small dark spots; on his right cheek there are three small dark spots; and above his left eye is a large dark spot with a thin white line extending out from it. The man appears to be wearing makeup: he has neatly-trimmed sideburns, eyeliner, and rouge. He has a pencil mustache, which was quite fashionable at the time.
The man’s name is written in the upper left-hand corner of the card: “Albert Johnson.” In the upper right-hand corner is written: “Male White.” Below that it says: “Age 45
