Sarah’s Scribbles is one of the better comics for drawing the author’s self as pretty cute in most comics but knowing how to draw herself as an ugly goblin when the comic is making a point about insecurity or embarrassment around physical appearance.
That comic is basically the gold standard for how to convey those ideas in an otherwise cute art style.
But most of what I’m thinking of is more than 10 years old, from her first two books (I have them in this house somewhere). Lots more angsty youth in those early collections, including some stuff about insecurities and self image.
I think this person’s point was lost when they drew the creatures to be very cute as well.

Do you have a good example?
Closest i could find was this one:
Oh here’s another:
They’re just not easily searchable (many of the most popular ones are just reposted on pinterest or reblogged on someone else’s tumblr).
Yeah, that’s a good one. I also like this one:

I like the ones with lots of teeth and biting.
Meanwhile, I’m over here encouraging this behaviour like:
And made them have bad fashion sense, haircuts and body language. Looking good isn’t just about genetics
The artist draws themself and they’re allowed to judge their own looks however they want,
Even if we would disagree with them.
You’re missing the point the comment was making
How? The comment is saying they’re cute, the artist is saying they aren’t.
No, the comment is saying they are drawn cute, when the whole point of the artists comic is that they look like a goblin when they don’t.
Ah, i see. It’s not that I’m missing the point of the other comment—no, you’re missing the point of mine.
