"Why Are You Like This?" is a collection of comics that delve into millennial perspectives on marriage, adulthood, pet ownership, self-love, and self-care. With a vibrant and relatable style, the comics address a range of life's pressing questions, such as deciphering whether a partner's mood is truly upset or simply a result of hunger. They also explore the quirks of modern relationships, such as who is responsible for remembering to bring reusable shopping bags and when it is appropriate to start decorating for Halloween in advance.

The central couple in the comics, Meg and Carson, embody the classic "opposites attract" trope. Carson, a level-headed introvert, enjoys making his coffee with the finest locally roasted beans, while Meg, a vivacious extrovert, resorts to microwaving two-day-old joe. Carson is reserved and keeps his emotions to himself, while Meg ensures that everyone in her life, including her mailman, is aware of her hemorrhoid. The comics humorously capture the joys and challenges of marrying one's best friend, as well as the peculiarities of owning a twelve-pound pup. They also delve into the humor and heartache of anxiety, offering relatable and often dorky perspectives on these experiences.

Through its witty and relatable storytelling, "Why Are You Like This?" explores the importance of making fun of oneself and finding laughter in the little things. The comics offer a refreshing take on contemporary issues and remind readers that life is full of unexpected twists and turns. Whether you're a millennial navigating the complexities of adulthood or simply looking for a good laugh, this collection of comics is sure to resonate with you.
