Even though many people are now in self-isolation, there are still a lot of relatable situations we continue to share. As many of us are juggling between family life and work in these exceptional circumstances, it’s nice to remember you’re not the only one out there not handling it perfectly or having it all figured out!
Shilpi Samson is an Indian artist who makes funny yet relatable comics featuring everyday life situations under the name of 'Survive office doodles.' The artist has been making comics for about two years now, and has an Instagram account with over 21k followers.

Every day Shilpi receives messages from her followers telling her they’re looking forward to these daily slices of life because they make them smile, feel touched, or simply a bit less lonely. Shilpi mentioned that at first, her comics started out as doodles that would let her escape from the monotony of a 9-5 corporate job (hence the name), but nowadays, it seems like the artist has the noble mission to cheer people up and make them smile using her talent and creativity.

Bored Panda reached out to Samson to find out a little bit more about her.
“My comics are about the simple problems which people, especially women, face in their day-to-day life, presented in a light-hearted manner. Even though they are based mostly on my own life experiences, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who could relate to them. This in itself fueled me to do more!"

"Over a period of time, we have grown as a very supportive community where a lot of the followers feel free to share their experiences and sometimes I draw them out too. It also gives me immense satisfaction and the motivation to keep drawing when people tell me how they related to my doodles which brought a smile to their face and made them feel a little less alone. I think that’s sort of the point of creating art.”

The artist's drawings are based on everyday situations, showing us the happy, funny sides of life and even the little bit annoying ones too. It feels like the artist is trying to remind everyone to not forget to smile even in weird situations. Samson does a perfect job trying to depict her own daily struggles as a girl, and if that's not close to your heart, maybe you can relate to the other situations the artist has illustrated regardless of your gender!
