Self-Improvement Monster

Becoming a better person isn't for the weak and neither is knowing one who is trying. XD

Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

[3-panel webcomic about learning to be a better person. Panel 1 ("Self-Awareness") contains a frayed-looking girl with a messy braid, eyes bulging, horns coming out of her head, fists balled at her sides, and clothes torn like "the Hulk." She asks herself, "Am I the actual monster here??" In panel 2 ("Self-Acceptance"), a beat and she admits, "Guess the monster...is me." In panel 3 ("Self-Improvement"), she assumes a heroic stance and explodes with terrifyingly determined monster-energy: "HOW DO I BE THE BEST MONSTER I CAN BE??" Original comic strip by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]

Is it me or is being a person really exhausting right now? Lol. 

Thanks as always for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

Peace and quiet is my favorite way to celebrate a holiday. Hope yours is also exactly to your liking. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, if you celebrate. May blessings abound.

Forced Rest and Relaxation

My stages of covid: denial, overthinking, bargaining, and renewing life’s purpose while sick in bed.

I'm one of the luckies. My recovery was steady after a few days of bedrest. Thanks for your well wishes. Connie on Ko-fi

[3-panel comic about the forced rest you get from getting sick, based on creator's covid recovery. Panel 1 shows a cartoon girl with a braid and beads of perspiration, sick in bed with a fever, body aches, and chills. Text reads "COVID NIGHTS: reliving my biggest failures & regrets in fever dreams." Panel 2: same frame, with an exaggerated look of determination, caption box with arrow says "vowing not to give up on life goals." In parentheses: "if I live." Panel 3, borderless splash: "Forced Rest & Relaxation" is in bold text, followed by "(not the spa day I imagined)" in smaller text. Girl looks directly at reader with resigned expression, shackled to bed with a large ball and chain. Humorous autobio comic strip by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]

Sick Days Elephant

I'm sorry for the unexpected break from new cartoon posts. After successfully evading Covid-19 for a couple of years, it finally got me. Despite being vaccinated, it walloped me pretty hard. Starting to come around. Back to regular cartooning soon, I hope. Here's my first drawing after several days of full bed rest. 

Stay healthy and get re-boosted if you can. The latest virus mutations are no fun.

Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi
