Description
Look at me! Uploading actual.. Art? As in not just sketches? 8'D Well.. I say art. it's just a crappy comic |D Had the hankering to draw a comic since I haven't drawn one in a while. And to think... Back in the old days they were the only things I ever drew! Haha 8DThis has been in the works since mid April. Been working on it off and on inbetween revision and such. The shading's kinda... rushed because I am REALLY sick of looking at this. I can't even remember if it's meant to be funny.
Anyhoo. a combination of my two talents: Drawing and complaining C:
Enjoy
P.s. If you're sharp you'll notice the name of my regular local train station! *gasp!*

Haha no no! I'm all for making sure you don't get knocked out of the way, but I very much hate anyone who tries to push ME out of the way! lol XD Stupid bulky commuters! Yeouch, not a lot of things hurt like a briefcase to the knee! 
Thanks so much Nona m'dear! What a lovely comment

So many people are indeed very pushy *sigh* Sadly on days I'm a complete grouch I very nearly turn into one of them. *notproudofthat* And nothing is worse than a sweaty guy shoving you with his body. xDD I take it you've had briefcase experience and I've had experience with that guy xD Goodness gracious~

LOLOLOL I've been meaning to say for ages how much I love this - I ALWAYS get the nutty old men next to me (worst to date is the one who showed me all his text messages from his evil ex wife then tried to buy me coffee!). I'm lucky that I avoid commuting entirely (I go in the opposite direction to everyone else on the tube then get off and walk two miles). Love it!

I thought of you actually when I did that panel. I'm often good at avoiding them, but you always end up with them! Bwahaha!
Glad you like it hun!

#5...Happens to me quite a bit, but, I don't mind, because, it's always the same guy, every now and then, I catch a Thursday train at 4:30 for Oxford, I always choose a certain seat, because, this old gentleman always awaits me...That may sound...Wrong, but, he's such a eccentric ray of sunshine...Normally, not my kind of guy, but, he just loves telling stories and for some reason, I love to listien, maybe because I love anything odd, but, he often buys bizzare knick-knacks and shows them to me, I don't mind actually, he's someone to talk to on a lonely ride, I'll miss him when I finish college, the rest however, I somewhat agree...My main prob is people whom stare at me from the carriages whilst I wait for my own train, seriously, it creeps me out....Those cold eyes...

Hahahaha good for you! 5 has only happened to me twice thankfully! There was this nutcase trying to spread the word of God to me and this old man who asked me what Optometry was! Hahah! Awww well I hope you and your buddy are happy together XD
And yes. OMG. I hate it when people stare at you from the train! I just wanna tell them to look somewhere else XD

I have my own fun though...Playing the "please miss your train, running person" game, cracks me up when they miss it, their expression!

Same here. I hate public transport so much. And it's not very cheap here, although it should be. >.>
I really like how you drew yourself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No it's not cheap here either! You'd think considering the conditions it'd be MUCH cheaper D:
Thanks so much!

Ha ha! Well done : )
The thing where people stand RIGHT in FRONT of the train doors to get on - seemingly forgetting that some people would like to get OFF FIRST drives me absolutely up the wall.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It drives me mad too! It's so inconsiderate D:
Thanks hon!

So very true.
I have to move to another carridge. I...can't stand kids, let alone screaming, whining ones. OTL
BUT YEAH. XD This is really great! Lovely work with the expressions, especially! c:

Omg. I hate crying children SOMUCH. Just Rrrrrrrr... They really annoy me too! SHould have added that in there D:
Thanks so much Bladeface!! How was your last exam m'love? <3

Fff I am so never gonna have kids. I'd be such a bad parent.
It went really well, thanks! <3 Everything I expected/wanted came up, so that was good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't like anyone else's kids, but I'd like my own because I could raise them to not be so annoying. Hopefully.
Thanks m'dear! Glad to hear yours went well! <3

I was fortunate to get a second-hand car fairly cheap... but yes, it costs a bomb to repair and refuel...

Thanks!

Haha that was some funny stuff. It really was like a nice story teller of your life (well, in the transportation sense) lol I really enjoyed it and I thought it was "funny" because most of what you said is so true 8D Awesome work on the expressions, awesomeness in one dudette. Nice comic, it's nice seeing art from you again. ^^

Aww thanks Paul! I've really missed doing comics actually! I remember I used to do loads of these! You can certainly count on me doing more of them now my digital art is "acceptable" haha |D
Glad you like it m'dear!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In all honesty, your digital art was "acceptable" for a long time now ;D And no problem!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
SO. TRUE.
I exactly know this pain. I used to travel to my school by train and buses... so 100% YES.
And another annoying part for me are obsessively kissing couples on public eyes >__> We get often in our underground trains! btw: It deserves a DD!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ew. I really do NOT like buses! They are SO unreliable and the buses are so small unlike like roomy trains that *mostly* come on time! I love long train journeys (as long as they aren't too busy) I love looking out of the window at the scenery!
OMG. I totally forget about the couples O__O I don't see that one TOO often, but when I do it's SO awkward. Ewwww, I feel like some sort of perve because I can see them between the seats D: Waaaaa! Normally I'll get up and move to a different carriage! I don't want to be watching two people eating each other's faces!!
Thank you Pearl m'darling! That's very sweet of you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the buses on 70% I end sitting next to an drunkard. I'd also add panel of singing drunkards in the bus. LOL!
Even you forgot, what about if I could do?
Please do more that comics in the future. It REALLY MADE ME A DAY!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Omg yes.. You get even weirder people on the bus and the drunk teenagers at the back! I'm so glad you don't get that as much on trains! D:
Ooh A comic collab sounds like lots of fun!! What an awesome idea! We could do a comi just about drunk people |D bwahaha! <3
I certainly will do more comics C: Thank you dear

Ey, what do you think about beaches? Do you go to beach and have any awful people experiece there? Not only beach, but perhaps a park? We could do another series representing in entertaiment/relax places so like a public beach, park etc.
On weekend i was on beach and had AWFUL experience with people... gosh! American families, especially mothers with bunch of babies/small kids are awfully terrible with their behaviour. Like they have no respect to others. I will tell ya.
1. The most awful one. Next to beach there is a great grill bar. We had a table outside and next to beach's entrance. We sat there and ordered food and as always nearby to entrance there are many other beach people where they prepare to go to home... and imagine, they're changing their stinky suits there!
And then stupid mothers with bunch of babies placed their stuff on our table (the table was long) but you know... next to people who are waiting for food 
2. Another, BEACH KIDS ARE AWFUL. They harrased my dog Arnaq and shot by watergun at my face
Ughhhh...!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I LOVE those ideas. A "The joys of going to the beach" comic would be such a fun idea!
I've sent you a message on FB m'love

That is interesting we don't have a train that people can ride into town on it is always going back and fourth on the tracks for some odd reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really? It just goes back and forth? Interesting. Does it take people anywhere or is it just a cargo train?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am not sure it might be just a cargo train but a little ways down the track near my house where it goes back and forth they took up the tracks and turned it into a walking trail so I don't know what it does.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow.. That's very strange! You'll have to see where the tracks end and watch to see what the train does when it reaches the end!

Hehe that would be funny. XD

Holy shat, son. It is so true. I love this comic because it's not just true for a specific area, but for MOST places where people have to commute, in America OR the EU. I know in Poland and Lithuania I've been having a real problem with #4 when it comes to escalators and moving walkways. I have missed many a bus/train/flight because people are too fucking stupid to figure out that THERE ARE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM TRYING TO GET THE FUCK THROUGH BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOMEPLACE TO BE OTHER THAN STANDING IDLY LIKE THEY'RE THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH WHO MATTERS.
capslock.
on the subject of arts, tho; I love love love how you drew the Becca here. You made her extra EXTRA cute. >3<
teehee ilu and your cute face. lulul <3333
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad people can relate to this and it's not just me complaining!! When you've looked at something for so long, you forget whether it's actually funny or whetehr you're just being an arse
GOD. People who are ignorant on escalators just drive me up the wall. It's like FFS I'm trying to get PAST!! On the London Undergorund EVERYONE stands to one side so that people can get up. If you don't stand to the side, you get MAULED (no joke, you actually get bashed out of the way! Gotta keep that flight path clear!)
Hehe and thank you Daggs! If only I was quite that cute IRL I'd be happy

I thought it was okay D: When I was in england I never had problems with the trains or such. lol xD
But yes we have the same problem here and I think it's amusing when they try to get on the train when
people still are trying to get off of it and they complain that people are in their way and they can't get on it easily xD

It must be an international problem lol! Stupid commuters and their lack of patience

Oh goodness, I was JUST on that train line! :3 Manchester Piccadilly....or something like that! It's crazy how inflexible / grumpy the people who work at the stations are, too. D: I forgot my tickets for a pre-booked train (12 pounds each) and they wouldn't move them to any later in the day so I had to pay 177 pounds just to get to London. SOB. That was my fault but still, the hecticness at those stations...
I gotta say, I love America! 8D Everyone pollutes by driving everywhere and you don't have to interact (as much) with other human beings and it's awesome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my goodness REALLY? If I'd have known I'd have come and met you for a coffee or something! Wow! Also £177 for a train ticket is absolutely... Oh god. That's horrible D: Poor Mandy
Hahaha, It's much easier to get the train into Manchester than try and drive through Rush Hour (and I'm too broke to drive *sob*)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, I wish I had realized too, that woulda been cool! XD To be fair, it was two 88 pound tickets, but my friend was broke and I was the one who forgot the tickets so I paid for it all. GOODBYE MONIES ;-;
England's drivers are crazy, too. Tiny twisty roads + me not realizing what side cars are coming from = many near-death moments for Mandy... xD

Hahaha you get some mad drives on them country roads! It's mostly the farmers who know the roads like the back of their hands!!
