We’re all coping with 2020 in our own ways. Some of us are drinking, some of us are screaming into pillows or crying in the shower, and some of us are grabbing tight to any personal outlet of creativity we can muster the energy to use.

For author, illustrator, and mother of two Adrienne Hedger, that means shifting the subject of her beloved comics to capture the insanity of working from home while your kids are learning from home.

Here are 12 of my personal favorites.

12. Yeah the answer is no.

How about you stop asking.

My kids are teens, and I can tell you that high school Zoom classes involve far fewer silly faces, pet cameos, tours of houses, and random items being held up to the camera. πŸ˜† #hedgerhumor #humor #lol #lifemoments #webcomic #cartoon #comic #illustration #kids #parenting #parenthood #parentingmemes #school #elearning #onlineschool

11. You have to assume someone’s camera is always on.

It’s taking spying to a whole new level.

Oh, the hazards of this era, when so many videoconferences are taking place at home! This cartoon is sort of an updated version of a cartoon from my archives (swipe to see that older one). Good luck out there, everyone! You never know when you’re on camera. 😜 πŸ“Έ #hedgerhumor #humor #lol #lifemoments #webcomic #cartoon #comic #illustration #videoconference #videoconferencefail #zoom #zoomlife #technology #tech #techfail #zoomfail

10. There’s just so much to manage.

Take a deep breath.

Thank you to @crystalllowery for letting me illustrate her tweet! 😁 Parents and teachers, what funny things happen when kids are on video calls? I have teens now, so I’m no longer immersed in the humor of little kids! I have to live vicariously through you. 😜 #hedgerhumor #humor #lol #lifemoments #webcomic #cartoon #comic #illustration #kids #parenting #parenthood #parentingmemes #littlekids #school #elearning #onlineschool #firstgrade

5. And yet you do handle it.

Because I mean, what choice do we have?

Those days when you feel like you’re going to lose it. (Everyday??)

Some struggles might be greater than your own.

Here’s the latest cartoon I did for @alicewillhelp (Alice’s Kids), a charity that works hard to help kids in need. This fall, headphones have been a recurring request, and those requests are being filled! πŸ’› #hedgerhumor #charity #greatorganization #kids

2. I think we all know the answer to that.

Kids, am I right? And yet you kind of identify.

1. Why are they like this?

Oh, right, because they’re your kids.
