This Artist Transforms Everyday Fears into Incredibly Accurate Animal Comics (60 Images)

If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking a text, annoyed by a minor inconvenience, or trying to stay calm while your brain is doing cartwheels, Roonie the rabbit will feel uncomfortably familiar.

Created by artist Porter Mason, this comic series uses cute little animals as a surprisingly effective way to convey big emotions. The setups are usually simple and mundane, with plans, conversations, expectations, creative ambition, and social anxieties, but the punchline is what’s happening underneath: the inner monologue, misplaced confidence, emotional turmoil, and the tiny leaps of logic we use to justify everything we do. It’s funny but also quietly honest, the kind of humor that resonates because you realize yourself before you’ve finished reading.

Scroll through the comics and you’ll likely find a character you can immediately identify with. The only problem is that you might be empathizing a little too strongly.
