About

Mysillycomics is the webcomic of an artist named Claire. The comics feature a simplistic, line-drawing art style and tend to feature wholesome situations and punchlines, though this is not always the case. One of the comic's strips, titled "Celebrities Shop Too," became a popular exploitable template.

History

Mysillycomics launched on Tumblr on April 10th, 2018, posting seven comics that day^[1] (examples shown below).

Over the following months, the comic developed a strong following, with its posts regularly gaining thousands of notes. One of its most popular strips, posted May 24th, 2018, introduced a stuffed character called Bohug which would go on to appear in many more comics and become a mascot for the comic.^[2]

The comic's Twitter account gained over 30,000 followers in roughly nine months since its June 2018 creation.^[3] Fans have joked that the comic's creator Claire bears a resemblance to Griffin McElroy in looks and humor.^[4]^[5]

Celebrities Shop Too

On October 2nd, 2018, mysillycomics posted a comic titled "Celebrities Shop Too" in which a character meets Hatsune Miku while shopping. The post gained over 30,000 notes (shown below). The comic's first panel, featuring the main character saying "Peach Time," may be a reference to the Peach Time rage comic.

The comic turned into an exploitable meme template in which the character meets other humorous famous people or characters in the third panel. For example, Twitter user @grimeth_ posted a parody which included musician Imogen Heap in the panel, gaining over 35 retweets and 100 likes (shown below, left). Redditor bonzi-buddy posted an example featuring an eldritch horror to /r/cthulu, gaining over 90 points (shown below, right).

Racist Edit

On February 10th, 2019, Claire took to her Twitter^[6] and Tumblr^[7] to decry racist edits to the "Celebrities Shop Too" comic (shown below). In a follow-up tweet, @mysillycomics^[8] revealed that the edit was discovered on Know Your Meme. The image has since been removed.

Hey Little Man Hows It Goin? / Yea

Hey Little Man Hows It Goin? refers to the webcomic "A True Conversationalist" by Mysillycomics in which a person attempts asks a baby how it is going, and responds to its gibberish by saying "yea." In 2020, the comic and its last panel received viral spread online as an exploitable and a reaction image. The memes often poking fun at how things are going poorly for a certain object which can't express its problems in human speech.
