She does make a lot of comics about mental health, but she also does some kinda general life ones, like the matching underwear one.
Ruby is a perfect example of how carefully composed images are not necessary to provoke a response. Ruby's comics are still heartfelt and humorous whilst being drawn in a low-fi, messy way. There's no colour or background in most of her drawings, and there doesn't need to be - her prime goal is humour and to be relatable. By making her character fairly nondescript it is easy to relate to as a fellow human being, especially girls in a lot of her comics.
She makes very gestural lines and emotive expressions which I aim to do more of in some of my work instead of considering 'perfect' lines. I need to be looser and more free in my application of drawing materials sometimes!
