The Unspoken Truth is a series of webcomics created by Venezuelan artist Maria Guadarrama that feature a unique blend of emotional humor, taking the reader from lighthearted chuckles across to deep philosophical musings.

“I think the kind of people who enjoy my comics are the ones who like to take a look inside of them and the origin of their feelings,” Maria told Bored Panda. “Introspective and sensitive people, people who are in love.”

Maria works as a graphic designer as her day job, illustrating for The Unspoken Truth as a part-time job and hobby in the evenings. Art is her passion and has been since early childhood, and she takes her drawing inspiration from all the things that happen to her in her daily life. Maybe that's why these relatable comics hit home to so many.

Now living in Santiago, Chile, she feels a deep sadness about the way things have gone in her homeland. “It makes me feel hopeless and frustrated, especially when I think of my parents who are still living there,” she told us. “When I was in Venezuela, I worked for one of the most important newspapers there. But since the people who owned the newspaper were from the government, they were very specific about the subjects I was allowed to draw. I couldn't draw about politics or migration or economy.”

“There was a censorship of my funny comics because the power of doodling is big, I guess. Drawings make us approach knowledge in the way a child does. On the other hand, in South America, in general, there are a lot of illustrators with a strong voice and strong opinions, especially in Argentina and Mexico.”

While Maria says that she always tends to feel like an outsider, no matter where she goes, she is passionate about her country and longs for better days. You can read a beautiful and powerful comic about her thoughts on the situation in Venezuela here, it is a real eye-opener. She also has many similar works on her pages, which you can find linked below. Scroll down to check out her cute drawings on being in love and searching for those good relationships, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    Mr sensitive 'Warawk' disagrees that "it's what you're made of that counts" apparently. He's more interested in how you look, as he is a simple minded fellow who can't see beyond someone's outside, to who or what may be underneath...

    Eyes to look at rainbows and sunsets and a voice with which to share the experience. A heart ready to give and receive love and a soul that sings of the beauty of love's existence. Two feet to slow dance under the full moon.

    That's the exact opposite of the word "ideal"... be honest, would you date a person with no arms or legs?

    This is a great one. I always wondered if people were put in a room all with wearing a breathable loose brown paper bag, and we all started to get to know people without seeing them, then perhaps we'd see the person we were compatible with without making judgements. Sadly most of us go for the physical attraction and or are too judgmental. On the flip side this illustrates self love and acceptance beautifully and shows that everyone has something wonderful to offer.

    The clothes you choose to wear reflects who you are as a person. It’s also a good conversation starter. So you have fun in you brown paper bag while I enjoy getting to know people in my dress

    When I see all those body-positive messages, I wonder, how many people will actually, 100% accept an ugly/fat person near them. I’m not talking “non-model” look. I’m talking arms, legs, belly, hands, but super ugly. Because one in the picture has a very sexy, TV-worth, femmine body. Double standarts.

    I know the point is to find beauty in functionality rather than aesthetics, but what if your body doesn't work? When I see stuff like this it just makes me feel even more alienated.

    No matter how great your pain, there is someone else dealing with more pain than yourself. You have to be willing to take chances in order to heal.
