Comiclicious, Unfiltered: Science, Spirals, and the Sweet Spot Between
If you’re new to Comiclicious, meet its creator, Olivera Vukovic. She’s a physical chemist who somehow also makes one of the quirkiest, most endearing comics on Comics Kingdom. Olivera describes Comiclicious as “basically just life.” Any thought that drifts through her head might end up as a strip. Sometimes that means a beaker or a bit of science sneaks in, but the jokes never get bogged down in complicated concepts. At the heart of the strip are three voices—Gemmie the wonderer, Liv the practical one, and Death (a.k.a. Joe), the rational realist. Together they create a tone that’s absurd, gentle, sometimes dark, and always relatable. A lot of her best work comes straight out of real life. She shared one strip on the show that started with an awkward crosswalk encounter she happened to witness from the passenger seat of a car. It was so human, so uncomfortable, that it just had to be captured in a panel. Longtime readers will also know Eternal Love, which has been such a fan favorite it now lives as a print in our shop. Olivera posts three times a week—on Sundays, Wednesdays, and […]

Although she diligently honed her drawing skills, she was also immersed in her studies to become a physical chemist. The unique concept for her comic strip was born out of sheer desperation during an intense study session for a molecular spectroscopy exam. As she caricatured herself to alleviate […]
