This Artist Turns Ordinary Moments Into Unexpectedly Hilarious Comics—Prepare to See Your Day Differently!
Ever catch yourself spotting life’s little quirks that everyone else seems to either miss or just politely ignore? Well, our mystery engineer—and yes, he insists on the cloak of anonymity—did exactly that. By day, a diligent coder at a global software giant; by night, a sharp-witted creator of comics that hit closer to home than you’d expect. His brainchild, Sobering Mirror, isn’t just a name; it’s a promise to hand you that metaphorical mirror and dare you to see yourself in the uncomfortably hilarious truths he sketches out. It’s a bit like realizing the weird stuff you laugh at isn’t just a joke—it’s your own life flashing back at you with a sly grin. And honestly, who hasn’t needed a good, sobering laugh at themselves now and then? Just don’t call him ‘the office weirdo’… yet.

We all have our own quirks, traits, preferences, and ways of sharing pieces of ourselves with other people. For the hero of this article, it’s creating comics. But he needed a while to realize that.
“I’m an engineer at a well-known global software company,” the artist who wanted to remain anonymous told Bored Panda.
“I frequently find myself making observations about life that I feel most other people either don’t notice or want to admit. That’s how I came up with the name [for my comics series, Sobering Mirror.] I’m holding up a metaphorical mirror to the reader, and the realization that they can see themselves in my jokes is – you guessed it – sobering.”
Until his attempts at comedy become more widely recognized, he’d prefer not to be known as ‘the guy who makes weird webcomics’ at the office. So for now, let’s just call him Engineer.
