Wish I Could Tell Somebody

Sometimes modern life is lonely, but still beautiful. We do whatever we can.

Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

[4-panel comic about modern life and being alone, drawn in grayscale, except for a window view of a sunset over a cityscape, which is rendered in full color. In panel 1, a cartoon girl with a braid stands at the window and exclaims, "What a pretty sunset! Gosh!" Panel 2 zooms out to show the interior of the room where the girl is looking out. Text reads, "I wish I could tell somebody about this sunset." In panel 3, the girl looks at her phone, as the sun sets further and the caption reads, "Nobody I know will care that I saw this sunset." In panel 4, she walks away, as the light in the sky dims. Final text reads, "I wonder what K-dramas are streaming right now." Original comic illustration by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]

To Love Yourself

If you have ever felt like an odd person out, then you know it's hard work to get to this point. 

Let's never give up. Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

[2-panel borderless comic about identity and self-acceptance, showing a cartoon girl with a bun, figuring out who she is. In panel 1, she looks at her reflection in a bathroom mirror. In panel 2, she is leaning against a medium-sized elephant in an interior space with a rug, an electric kettle on a small table, and a cartooned reproduction the painting "American Gothic" by Grant Wood hanging on the wall. The caption reads, "To love yourself... / Figure out what makes you different / - and really lean into that." Original comic illustration by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]

A Weirdo in the Universe

Let's just be weirdos in the universe, k?

Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

[3-panel comic of a cartoon girl with a bun, trying to tune out the messy chaos of human society. In panel 1, her eyes are closed and her hands are covering her ears. She is surrounded by tight, inky, swirling, scribbled lines. In panel 2, the image pans out a little and she is not totally alone; there's an elephant and they make eye contact without words. In panel 3, the image zooms way out and we see them standing atop a small asteroid-planet-like orb in space, alone but she is holding the end of the elephant trunk in one hand, as though they are holding hands. Caption: "In a messy, chaotic world, it's okay to take a moment and just be a weirdo in the universe." Original comic illustration by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]

Elephant Tea Break

Sorry that I've been a bit off schedule. Been sick with the flu. All the viruses got me this season :') 

Stay healthy and stay tuned for more comics! Connie on Ko-fi

[2-panel comic page of a cartoon girl with a bun, wearing a hoodie, taking a tea break. In panel 1, she is sitting at a desk with a tablet and notes strewn about, holding her head. She says, "Ugh. I'm starting to feel sick again. I should make more tea." Cut to panel 2, where she is sipping from an enormous vat of tea that is almost as tall as she is. A passing elephant, holding a dainty, regular-sized mug of tea, walks by and stares at her. Looking at the elephant mid-sip, she says, "What?" and the elephant responds, "I didn't say anything." Original comic illustration by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]
