These adorable comics have appeared at least once in our screens in the past couple of years. With a simple illustration Catana is able to show the daily life of a couple focusing on the art of trying to adult. She draws the intimate, random, sweet moments all relationships go through in their daily lives.
How did the comics start?
This all started with Catana wanting to create some comics for her boyfriend. She captured the awkwardness of moments and put them into small squares. Her boyfriend liked this idea so much he convinced her to share it online. Although at first she was nervous with the Internet as it can be a very scary place with unnecessary comments. Eventually she became motivated to post more due to days after them shared the first few comics on Reddit and Imgur they quickly went viral.
When she shared these few comics, there was no site or social media but with the positive response they immediately started them. Now her social media is filled with followers and her site even has a store and a book.
Are the pieces autobiographical?
“Every day there is something that happens where both John and I look at each and just know that it’s going to be a comic eventually” Catana Chetwynd
All of her comics are inspired by her relationship from weird conversation to comfortable moments. Obviously with some exaggerations but her main goal was to show the randomness of two recent adults in love.
A little truth from Catana´s hard work
“I am now able to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a cartoonist while juggling the responsibilities of being an obsessive dog mom.”
