    Lesya Guseva is a freelance illustrator from Perm, Russia.

    And she currently has a series of illustrations depicting what comic book characters would look like in old age.

    "I participated in an art competition, and one of the themes were an old maid and a cat. It occured to me to portray Catwoman as an old cat woman," she told BuzzFeed.

    "I did not set any global goals when I started this series. I just want people to smile looking at my illustrations."

    And she accomplishes that with every hilarious illustration.

    "Many of my followers are not from Russia, and unfortunately can't read the text in my pictures. So often I get the question, 'Why are they old?'"

    "These drawings are all a part of my fictional universe, Pensioneriya. And once these characters are there, they age rapidly, despite their superpowers. Everyone becomes a pensioner."
