Excusemaxxing: inventing names for my worst traits

Becky Barnicoat's cartoon, titled "Excusemaxxing – inventing names for my worst traits," turns attention to the small, personal habits we might rather ignore.

Through a concise, wry approach, the strip names and frames those familiar impulses, treating them like character traits with their own labels.

The work balances self-observation with humor, offering a compact way to recognise patterns without lecturing.

It prompts a light reflection on how we describe ourselves and the excuses we habitually reach for.
