5 comic strips that strike more than a chord

Don’t you just love it when you stumble upon something that makes you stop and ponder on the many important aspects of life that you forget or haven’t realized to notice yet? If you do and you love illustrations, then here are 5 comic strips that will surely hit you with a truck load of deep thoughts:

“The End” Beardo Comics (Dan Dougherty)

The End-Beardo Comics

This illustration of the cycle of life through a father’s perspective shows how short life truly is. And that while you still have time you must make the most of it with your lovedones because it all ends in the blink of an eye.

“On A Plate”- XTOTL (Toby Morris)

On A Plate- XTOTL

This comic strip demonstrates how privilege plays a part in determining success and how that same privilege can make you arrogant and ungrateful. Meanwhile, others who don’t get opportunities may be working harder than you for little to no success. By no means does poverty mean you are lazy and asking for easy outs.

“Ask yourself” – Zen Pencils (Howard Thurman)

Ask yourself-Zen Pencils

Being an Asian, this is surely no news because many of us are pressured at least a few times to get good grades in school and become doctors or engineers. But this strip encourages you to do exactly whatever makes you feel like you. And that it is never too late to live.

“Nerd!” – Lunar Baboon

Ask yourself-Zen Pencils

This is the cutest little strip so far about teaching children the idea of supporting differences and learning from others what they do best.

“Live and let Live” – Sarah Andersen Comics

Sarah Andersen Comics

This small strip depicts how someone out there will always find a flaw in you, be it something as insignificant as preferring flower crowns. Know that it is no crime to want to live on your own terms.
