Canadian graphic designer and illustrator Christopher Hemsworth has a series of thematic web comics that features video game characters facing their inner demons.
In the comics, the characters are portrayed to be reflecting on life, accompanied by a tagline about the hardship the character has to face in their respective situations.
For example, Super Mario laments that he has to go through darkness when he goes down the pipe in the game.
Hemsworth explained that although the comics are about insecurities and fears, they are also meant to help us laugh at all of these things.
The current themes of the comics include a Star Wars edition, a retro video game edition and Valentines edition.
