Adult life is HARD. But perhaps we sometimes overcomplicate things, too. Writer Chaz Hutton’s brilliant series of simple illustrations on sticky-notes perfectly sum up the difficulties of being an adult — with no more than a few strokes of his pen. Using stick-figure comics and hilarious graphs, he makes our grown-up complaints, pleasures, failures, and successes all too real.
