Comics are usually action packed, featuring superheroes battling their enemies in an attempt to save the civilians of the world from imminent danger, and these self-deprecating life depictions demonstrate that comics aren't always happy-go-lucky.
Believe it or not, some comics depict simple, everyday situations far from the superheroes many are used to seeing in these cartoon creations. From awkward first dates and female grooming habits to comics about felines just being felines, these comics are about as accurate as life can possibly get.
Next time you read a comic and get down on yourself because your life isn’t nearly as exciting as Superman, Batman or Spiderman, just think of these self-deprecating life depictions and remember: No one's life is that exciting.
