Happy 100th Birthday to one of the most iconic and influential cartoonists ever. Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts would have been 100 today. His story of rising above those who didn’t believe in him and his cartoons is inspiring to someone like me. This is a comic I drew a few years ago but pulled…

Hot Day
Another heat wave is forecasted for the Greater Metro Vancouver Region. Thankfully it won’t be as hot as the last record-breaking heat of 43C (109F) in late June. I’ve always wondered if this sort of thing in today’s comic could be done… Stay hydrated and cool, folks!
Christmas 2020
True story. LOL I couldn’t resist! I always start off by saying no gifts but then find something I couldn’t resist and end up getting something for him. 🙂 I think I just look forward to the reaction more than anything! 😀 With covid limiting our interactions this year, may your Christmas be a simple,…
Immaturity
“This is Laura Yang, reporting live from Y+Y News, Vancouver!” 🙂
Date Night
Sooooooooo, this just happened the other night. LOL Ps I’m lousy at drawing blankets with all their creases and shadows. If anyone has a great resource for this, I would be ever so grateful! *shudder*
11th of Sorts
Well, it’s our 11th Anniversary today! 🙂 When we first got married I thought I’d draw him something every year on our anniversary… so I think I managed to do that for the first year, the 7th year (you can see it here https://yangstercomics.com/life/happy-anniversary/) and now the 11th year. Hahaha I googled what the anniversary…
Money Saved
It’s all a matter of perspective, right? LOL
Buying Shoes
So let’s take a break from covid! My brain’s had enough torment this week… Confession: Much to my husband’s displeasure, I love to buy shoes!! 😀 Nothing too girly since I have flat feet and I’m more inclined towards athletic or comfortable shoes. Nike, Saucony, Puma, Crocs, Natives, Skechers… they comprise about 80% of the…
Social Distancing
Since work has dried up, i’ve had more time these days to draw some cartoons but I’m not really feeling it. (This cartoon posted was drawn 2 weeks ago.) Trying to stay afloat (LOL) I guess in the mental health department. My latest obsession is learning as much Chinese as I can via books, articles,…
Did I do good?
Soooooooo this is loosely based on a true story. :p
Mewey on Raising Daughters
My dad was always outnumbered growing up. Under one roof he had to share his castle with Mom, 4 daughters and 2 female dogs… 🙂 In retrospect, I’m grateful to him because he always taught us to be independent and self-sufficient women. I always joke that since he had no sons, he compensated by raising…
Heghan Wedding
Congrats on your nuptials Heghan! 🙂
Rapunzel Problems
Oh just a cartoon I drew in the summer saved for such a (busy) time as this.
Runaway Meatball
So we’ve got a little Toy Fox Terrier dog named Pocket. Her fur is white with black spots. And you know how irksome it is to have a spaghetti stain splatter on a crisp new white blouse or shirt? Well, once I let her lick some spaghetti sauce and OH MAN she got some on…
Haircut 4
Once when I was a child aspiring to be a cartoonist, I received some good advice from an industry-insider. Namely, to stretch out my cartoons by having a running story line in the background that extends beyond the gag. Well, I’m now starting to do that as I gain inspiration from my haircut. Let’s see how…
Zombie Valentines
*Sigh* Just found out I was rejected again to something I applied for cartooning-related. It’s not easy being cheesy. Oops, I mean it’s not easy doing this cartooning thing. For those not in the know, it is a fiercely competitive profession. FIERCELY!! There is a LOT of amazing talent out there, some have yet to…
Rejection Hurts
Life is quite busy but full. So, in an effort to reduce the amount of effort (haha) required to crank out cartoons, I decided to go the simple route. Simple, multi-panel strips that require more focus on the writing than on the artwork. I’ve been told by many in the industry that good writing saves bad…
Dessert
I’m sure plenty of cartoonists before me have drawn up this punchline in one form or another. I don’t claim to be unique. In fact, reminds me of a little story… I was in a cartoon contest a few years ago hosted by the now defunct cartooniststudio.com website. There were 10 rounds and I made…
Hellooo
I just wanted to caution readers not to read too much into my cartoons. It may be tempting to think that I’m immortalizing interactions with my poor husband when in actual fact I am not. I do have a bit of an imagination so most of my ideas are from my musings. Sometimes though, I…
