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!

    Yes, someone is just used for his boat (or money) - I think the second man is used for another thing he possesses.All 2 men are used as an object

    Don't give up, you deserve more than a sinking boat, besides if this keeps happening to you, it could be the universe trying to tell you that You deserve better... let him or her leave and find Your happiness and pick better. Aim higher you deserve it!

    That is so true. Sometimes it is a long way to your destination and you grow through the people you meet on your journey. And I am sure that this growing makes you ready for the one you will meet at the end

    It seems and by the way very understandable that if you are commenting on the first guy and feeling sorry for him it is either relatable or you are feeling badly for him and that is understandable. My take on this though is this, if the girl in this settled for the guy in the first boat or did not open her heart and eyes to allow life's lessons, she would not have found her destination to happiness, and to do that you have to love yourself enough to put yourself first. If you are lucky to have that outcome you are a strong person who truly knows what you want. Maybe this is where the expression "Missing the Boat" comes in....

    The illustration has a deep impact because of the different sizes of the two boats. If these were equal, her choice was fair.

    Oh people stop feeling sorry for yourself, it takes 2 people to ruin a relationship. Keep rowing and maybe think about your own flaws, don't make the same mistake twice and again, stop feeling sorry for yourself, this is the biggest mistake because it makes you bitter and a bad partner.

    I'm the boat dude. I've literally only been a crappy side chick. I've never even experienced real romantic love before. My first "relationship" was with a creep would lied about me being his girlfriend, and my last one was with a brat who cheated on me because I tapped another boy's shoulder to give him something he dropped.

    I am sorry you have been through those relationships. But don’t give up! There is someone for you too. Just don’t (always) try too hard to find someone, because that can lead to more broken hearts. Because you might force it upon yourself. But there is always hope! Always a chance! Sending strength!
