Picture the scene: you're in the car with your partner, on your way to a party. You're in a fight; the ignoring each other, hating each other's guts type of fight. You're seething. You want to kill him. The sound of his breathing is making you want to throw yourself out of the car. He will be sleeping on the couch tonight. Before you know it, you've arrived at your destination, and you realize, in horror, that it's time to get out. You say goodbye to the bliss of sitting there in awkward silence and compose yourself, ready to be sociable with other humans. As you walk to the front door of wherever it is you're going, you bask in the last 30 seconds of silence. You ring the doorbell, plaster on a fake smile, and play the happy couple shtik for the rest of the evening. That is until you get back in the car, where you can ignore each other again. Daniella London Dekel captures this utterly relatable moment that all couples go through in this funny comic.

Us modern women are powerhouses; we do it all. But juggling motherhood, careers, husbands, boyfriends, and our own sanity can be draining, and it's not always easy to give everyone the undivided attention they deserve. And so, sometimes, a simple "good job" has to suffice, even when it does not deserve praise in the damn slightest. From reassuring our kids that their artwork is better than Picasso to convincing our husbands that we didn't fantasize about Brad Pitt when after our standard fortnightly missionary romp, we spend a lot of our lives saying "good job," even when the job was not a good one. Daniella London Dekel has captured the power of a woman's reassurance in this heartwarming and funny comic.

Our "Female Artist of the Week" feature serves to draw attention to female content creators who are shaking up the world and making a difference with their art. We're all about women supporting women and providing a platform to showcase the incredible female talent out there. This week, we were lucky to grab some time with Tall N Curly, the 6 feet tall cartoonist and blogger with extremely curly hair. Her comics are all about the daily struggles of a tall girl living with curly hair and she aims to promote the message of self-acceptance, love, and body confidence, no matter what you look like, or how much you stand out from the crowd. Tall N Curly (who prefers to keep her identity anonymous), opened up to us about why she started her blog and the positive impacts she hopes and believes her cartoons are making.
The world of Disney is full of princesses, damsels in distress, and courageous male knights in shining armor. DC and Marvel comics too, are predominantly full of male superheroes, with a severe lack of strong female presence. It's not exactly the most empowering message for young girls. But what happens when we combine the two worlds and turn the Disney princesses into superheroes and show young girls that princesses too can be as strong as Disney princes? The illustrators at Bright Side did just that and the results are incredible. Check out the modern-day Disney superheroes below and let us know what you think!
