We’re excited to feature Linnéa Aasa the brilliant cartoonist behind Tardaasa Comics once again. Known for her quick wit and incredibly relatable comics Linnéa has returned with a brand-new series filled with hilarious moments that perfectly capture the oddities of everyday life. When we caught up with Linnéa to learn more about her latest work she shared her creative process. This time around I’ve focused even more on the small seemingly insignificant moments that make us human. My goal was to create comics that make people say Oh my gosh that’s totally me or just offer a laugh to help them forget their worries for a bit. Linnéa’s ability to highlight the humor in the little things is what continues to make her comics so beloved. Her blend of humor and relatability allows readers to see themselves in the quirky everyday situations she illustrates. If you are a fan of humor who finds joy in life’s simplest moments you won’t want to miss her latest creations.

We reached out to Linnéa Aasa to learn more about the inspiration behind her comics. Known for her unique style and ability to capture everyday moments humorously Linnéa shared some insights into where her ideas come from. It’s funny she explained but most of my comic ideas come from the most unexpected places. These days, I only make comics sporadically and I don’t force myself to come up with ideas so when inspiration strikes it feels more organic.
One comic that stands out for Linnéa came from a surprising moment while sitting on the sofa with a man. I put my arm around him and he rested his head on my chest. At that moment, I felt like a boss. Linnéa turned that feeling into a comic and to her surprise it resonated deeply with her audience. I had no idea that so many people would relate to that feeling. It’s moments like these that make me appreciate how my work connects with others. Linnéa’s curiosity about how people think and feel drives her creative process making her comics not only relatable but also emotionally resonant. She loves knowing that her work can spark those Oh that’s me moments for her readers.

Linnéa Aasa, the cartoonist behind Tardaasa Comics has always been an open book when it comes to drawing inspiration from her personal life. However, there was one comic that gave her pause before sharing it with the world. I’m an oversharer to the bone she laughed explaining that she’s never hesitated to publish comics that reflect her own experiences. But there was one exception. There was one comic that I initially didn’t post or maybe I did and then deleted it a couple of days later. I honestly don’t remember it was about ten years ago. Linnéa chuckled, recalling the uncertainty surrounding the decision. Despite her tendency to be transparent in her work, this particular comic left her feeling hesitant to share it publicly.
These days, however, Linnéa finds herself thinking more about how her comics might be received by the people closest to her. Sometimes, I worry about what people close to me might think especially when the comic might hit a little too close to home she confessed. I wonder if they’ll recognize themselves in it or feel like it’s about them. And honestly, it’s not always flattering haha. Despite these occasional concerns Linnéa continues to draw from her personal experiences creating deeply relatable comics even if they occasionally tread into territory that could stir a little discomfort.

Linnéa Aasa, the artist behind Tardaasa Comics shared her thoughts on fan interactions and how she recalls certain messages. When asked about the most surprising or unusual fan messages she’s received Linnéa admitted that while she has gotten many the specifics are a bit of a blur. Unfortunately, I can’t remember any specific one she confessed with a smile. But when people DM me I can see our previous conversations and if the first message stands out I usually remember it even if it’s from years ago.
She added with a chuckle Otherwise my memory is bad. It’s kind of depressing honestly but I try to see it as a sign to live more in the moment. While Linnéa may struggle to recall some fan messages she does remember one thing clearly. I do at least tend to remember when comic artists I am a fan of contact me for the first time. It seems that for Linnéa, the experience of being contacted by fellow creatives holds a special place in her memory just like her own fans’ messages do in her heart.
