Hello!
My name is Luba Sobol. I’m an artist and a young mom from Russia.
I started to draw these funny comics based on my experience of raising kids when my son was 9 months old. He is my first child and I never imagined that being a mom is such hard work!
But as it turned out, you can have quite a lot of fun even when your life is turned upside down by little kids. When you sink into your daily parenting routine, the best you can do is laugh. I laugh at situations and at myself and it helps me to stay afloat in this sea of merciless motherhood.
At first, I used a smartphone for cartoon drawings. It wasn’t comfortable because of the small screen but I couldn’t use other drawing tools because my baby required maximum attention.
Now, my son is almost three years old and I feel relieved. He doesn’t spend all the time in my arms, he can play on his own, he can say what he wants and he can make jokes although he doesn’t realize when he says something funny.
My parenting comics are mostly based or inspired by real stories that occurred in our family. So it’s funny how so many people see themselves in my comics.
Maybe these stories happened in your family, too! Anyway, I hope you will enjoy these relatable comics!

Every Nap Time!
That's my 2 month old daughter :) (P.S. I'm sooo sleeeepy now....)
Don’t have kids, but plenty of babysitting of kids, and nieces and nephews, I can say, it was always like this!
They have such acute sense of sound makes me wonder how the heck they hear you creep out of the room in "ABSOLUTE SILENCE"
Love This Game
Or, their uncanny ability to know when you are going to, in, or need to go to the bathroom, and they stick to you like glue, follow you, or want to come in because you come in with them when they potty! One friends daughter, seemed to know when you couldn’t wait any longer, and would attach herself to your leg! Or did I need help when I pooped? Hahaha! I actually laughed at that one, and she laughed too, and the word poop, from then on made her laugh!

Don’t Say You Don’t Sing These Songs!
My kid is 25 and every once in a while one of those songs will pop up in my head. Found myself singing "if you're happy and you know it" while doing dishes the other day.
DANG IT! It took me 3 years to get that out of my head!

When Your Kid Plays Alone And You Don’t Want To Be Noticed
I love love love listening to my daughter when she plays alone. The things she says either crack me up, or bring me to happy tears.
Walks During First 6 Months
Yup, remember my aunts saying I saw you the other day, I saw a really elegant lady pushing a prank and then I saw you, I believe I had three boxes of nappies wedged in every spare space and another under my arm whilst walking up hill
Nap Time For Interesting Things
Every Morning I Pretend To Be A Thing
It's currently really hot in the Netherlands, so a couple of days ago I took a spray bottle with water to bed. Guess what my 5y.o. daughter used to wake me up the next morning...
Why Do They Do That???

My grandmother used to be a teacher and headmaster....I knew how to write, read and do basic math before I even started school. Summers at my gran's were always so ~fun~, it was like summer school. She even graded our work.
Sigh...even tho I was "just?" a Pedicure feeding Daddy, I was allowed a few of those times/memories 😁👍

If the sink is clean... where's the problem? I'm actually more annoyed by the running water.

Difficult Search
My daughter used to have me put her in places to hide and then tell me to forget where I'd put her so I'd have to go look all over the house
Hmm where is he... Is he in this jar of peanuts? I'd better eat each one just to make sure he's not hiding under one.... MOM I'm right here!! Hi right here- I'M MOM!!!
hmmm. well he can't be behind the curtain...nope. Is he... in this jar of pickles? I'd better eat these pickles to make sure he's not hiding behind one :3 *eats very slowly* MOM I'm right here! Hi right here... I'M MOM!!!
This is my favourite as I remember all my 4 doing this plus my niece they would hide then shout for me to come find them easy to find with all the giggling and feet and hands on show, when they got older they played it with each other and as I babysit my 8yr old niece a couple of times a week as her mum works the youngest will play with her and I get auntie debs hide me hide me 😂

Uh, eye contact? Bonding? Talking? This was a magical time for me and my boys. Put the phone away.

Walks With A Toddler
I expected for this one to be just like all the others (there are way too many parenting struggles comics on BP) but I really love these! They show the struggles of the mother without making you hate the kid, they're funny, simple, and the drawings show the expressions perfectly.
Very funny and cute! I lol'd a lot at these- this is like a snapshot of my day.
