I cartooned about putting some guardrails on my social media use 😅

Art description: Humorous 6-panel comic strip about a cartoon girl with a bun, vowing to not use social media for getting news, for companionship, or as a measure of self-worth. Each panel contains an illustration of why it's a bad idea to over-rely on social media for certain use cases. The catch is that social media is ubiquitous and alternatives are few. The character in the comic strip opts to check out instead, "at least until humanity comes to its senses." Titled "A Social Media Vow," original artwork by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2025.

This is how I learned to climb, to swim, and how I taught myself how to draw comics strips as an adult - one skill at a time.
