What a way to pass the time! Check out some of the best ones below.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, throwing single people everywhere into a Hallmark-induced blind panic of swiping on dating apps like Tinder, desperately trying to find love. But as fun as endless hours of virtual flirting can be, dating apps can also be vapid spaces filled with inappropriate and unsolicited (often one-way) sexual exchanges.
One artist who experienced such interactions on Tinder is Dafna Steinberg. She was inspired to create a collection called "I'm Willing To Lie About How We Met", in which she uses real opening lines men sent her in personal messages on the app. She sets these "against a backdrop, of romantic imagery from advertising, romance novels, and fashion editorials found in vintage magazines and books." Her project "examines the differences between the superficial hopes of romantic love, the stark reality found on dating sites and trying to reconcile the two while combating the misogyny of 'hook up' culture."
And they say romance is dead…

'The Little Trashmaid' is a wonderfully illustration comic strip by the very talented s0s2, who you can follow on Instagram and Youtube!
The story is similar to that of Ariel's, scouring the ocean floor for human things and trying to figure out what each gadget and gizmo is. The difference is, the Little Trashmaid is surrounded by the trash we humans dump into the ocean.
