A comiXologist Recommends (a comic you can probably relate to)

Josephine by Pénélope Bagieu

So you’re like the only person you know without a boyfriend, but like, it’s fine, because everyone you meet is even more of a disaster than you are and you just can’t even. Your cat is your everything except when he eats your only legit pair of pantyhose the day of the big presentation, which could totally happen to anyone, you’re sure. Going out is a nightmare because you never have anything to wear, and even if you did, the men are useless so like why bother? It’s all good, though, because your bestie will always be there to enjoy Nutella banana crêpes with you while you both swear you’ll finally actually work out this year, and adulting is hard, dangit.

Basically you’re Josephine, and Josephine is you. She’s thirty-ish, her hips don’t lie, and she maybe tripped a kid on a plane once, but he was screaming down the aisles and what else was she supposed to do? Josephine’s idea of a daring haircut is trimming off the split ends, and her version of cleaning out her closet involves buying more storage space. Listen, life’s not perfect and we all do what we can, okay?

Read Josephine’s adventures in being a grownup any time you need a minute for yourself to remember that it’s not that serious. Kick back and chill with Josephine. She gets it.
