The 5 best female humor comics (to identify with)
Sick of rigid, perfect and impossible stereotypes For the majority, women who give ourselves permission to be imperfect (and thus happy) seek to broaden our references in other places.
Our new heroines are as capable of laughing at themselves as they are of conquering us with it. And it is that with such a peculiar way of looking at the world it is impossible not to surrender to them.
Because behind which they are the best comic strips of feminine humor We find intelligence and irony to spare to get the joke out of the little daily dramas.
Yes, girls, because in the face of the thousand stories that happen to us, we start to cry... make it laugh.
The 5 best female humor comics (to identify with)
These are the comics of the illustrators who have managed to gracefully capture our daily lives as women.
1. Flavita Banana
When you look at any of Flavita Banana's vignettes, it seems that each one of them had come out of the prefabricated marker ink in direct connection to her ideas. Pum, from the head to the paper, and from the paper to our lips in the form of a smile or laugh. Simple, of course, like your
way of observing everyday situations and connecting them with irony.This illustrator and cartoonist was born 30 years ago in Barcelona as Flavia Álvarez. It is one of those cases in which she was clear from a very young age that drawing was not for children, because for her it was a natural extension of her way of being and of shaping her way of understanding the world.
Thanks to the fact that she listened to her intuition, when the moment came, she bet on what she was passionate about. That is why she studied Art and Design, supplemented her higher education with illustration courses, and that is why today we can enjoy her great female humor comic strips that embody much deeper realities than meets the eye.
Although yes, with an impossible mix of sensitivity and cynicism as only she knows how to handle.
If you haven't discovered it yet, you can find it in posts like S Fashion, Pride and Satisfaction or Mongolia Magazine. And more or less daily through her Instagram account.
2. Lola vendetta
Brave, resilient and empowered. As she defines her own character, we could say that so is her author, the illustrator Raquel Riba Rossy. And it is that this character born in 2014 arose from an outbreak of impotence in the face of the numerous macho rudeness received that the creator of her knew how to transform into art.
This is how Lola Vendetta arose, from the need to do graphic revenge on all those little characters and troglodytes from daily life who took the liberty of touching her ovaries.
Because let's not fool ourselves, Lola is not only the character of some well-known comic strips of feminine humor, capable of end sadistically using her katana with anyone who passes three towns with Raquel, but rather a justice what she gives voice to the silences of many aggrieved women. And of course, the clear example that with paper and ink battles can also be won.
Because, as she presents herself on her website, “Lola may have hair on her legs and in her armpits, but not a single one on her tongue. Sharp, forceful and feminine, this is Lola Vendetta ”.
3. Sarah Andersen
In case you don't know her yet, we come to discover you Sarah's Scribbles, a webcomic almost almost autobiographical with which Sarah Andersen makes us hook and compulsively consume vignette after vignette of everything she publishes.
Like the author of her, Sarah is a millennial with her own vision of maturity, or rather in a continuous attempt to avoid it because there are (any) things much more entertaining to lend attention. And it is that thanks to her funny sideways glance towards the idea of an adult woman that society has as a reference of her, she helps us take things with another calm for not being perfect.
Sarah Andersen has been delighting us with these hilarious comic strips of feminine humor since 2011, which began being published in its early days in Tumblr, making the leap to Facebook and Instagram until finally in 2016 we were able to access the printed version with her first published book, Adulthood is to Myth.
4. Cassandra calin
Thanks to her we have seen that making ourselves out of the corner of our eyes and making each one look like a father and a mother is something that happens to more than one and more than two; that the difference between our expectation and reality when we take a studied selfie with a casual air pretending to resemble this or that instagramer is kilometers long; And yes, also that the length of the hairs on the legs is proportional to the time you have been without going out with anyone.
This very young Romanian illustrator living in Canada shows us through her drawings how to laugh at ourselves for being clumsy and for complaining about the daily stumbling blocks that we turn into exaggerated dramas. And that's how she got dazzled by the female humor comics from her to his over a million followers on Instagram and Tumblr.
5. Modern Village
Perhaps by the name of Raquel Córcoles you do not know who we mean, but if we tell you that it is about Moderna de Pueblo, I am sure that you are falling into the account. Whether you have seen any of her vignettes or not, surely you will hear the characteristic illustrations of her typical of the tote bags that are seen so much in the subway at rush hour.
This illustrator born in Reus in 1986 became a authentic viral phenomenon on Facebook, when during 2010 she revolutionized the national scene with her character and the blog Moderna de pueblo. And with the impact came success and with it the great opportunity that she knew how to make the most of: she won the Scholarship Connecta’t to the comic which was a gateway to her publication of Soy de Pueblo, her first book, to which the comic Los Capullos No Regalan Flores would be added later.
The central theme of these comic strips of feminine humor revolve around urban culture and its protagonists, hipsters "too modern for the town, and too town for the city" with those who more than one and more than one will feel identified.
She has made her mark in magazines like On Thursday, Cuore Y GQ together with his teammate the screenwriter Carlos Carrero, with whom he created his other emblematic character (this time male), the Cooltureta, for whom his sophistication did not contemplate a comic, so we level up: “Cooltureta, the graphic novel".
