Living Through History

A comic about how fun I am at parties

2-page comic illustrating an introspective conversation between a girl with a bun and an elephant companion about the discomfort of living through conflict, while the elephant simplifies her over-complicated way of thinking. Titled "Living Through History," 11 comic panels, original art by Connie Sun, 2026.

My brain likes to overthink, but I manage it with my cartooning habit to make life more tolerable for myself and those around me. Elephant gets the brunt of it, but she has a sense of humor about it.

Resharing another cartoon I drew in 2016 to comfort myself through my anxiety. In hindsight, it was just the beginning of uncertain times, but we survived. We’re still here. We are stronger than we think.

4-panel comic illustrating cross-species friendships between different animals, with messages of comfort and safety in uncertain times. Titled "In Uncertain Times (AKA Life)." Ink and color pencil on paper, by Connie Sun, 2016. Originally published on conniewonnie.com

Hope you are safe and coping okay. These are not the most peaceful of times, but I hope we can find our way through it together.

Thanks for reading and being here.
