30 Comics By This Artist That Show The Funny Struggles Of Parenthood (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
The internet seems to love the creators who are not afraid to be honest and real in their content. Most of us experience similar hilarious struggles in our daily lives, so it’s fun to feel connected in that way to someone who is posting art about it. Those who are raising children might find the comics of Inna Sacali to be especially relatable and entertaining.
"My baby inspires me every day for new comics. All the ideas I take from real life. They’re honest because they actually reflect my emotions and feelings, or describe some funny situations that happened to me," the artist told Bored Panda in our previous post about her work. Scroll down to see the newest additions to Inna’s collection of fun comics.

Inna told us that “usually it takes 1 to 3 hours to finish a comic. It depends on how detailed the illustration is and how many shots are there.”
When asked whether she has any personal favorites, she named the “collection of tiredness” and “organs” ones because they reflect exactly what she felt during pregnancy.
23 variations of a long, white, stretch t-shirt with thin black stripes. That is the pregnancy uniform. And black leggings that go up to your armpits.
“All the ideas for comics are taken from my life. They just come up in my mind. I see something happening and my brain draws funny pictures of the situation,” Inna says about her creative process.
“Sometimes it is like: I'm in my bed ready to fall asleep and the idea shows up. If I have time I draw a rough sketch. If not - just write down the main idea on my phone. Usually, I draw when my son sleeps, so it's not about the mood to draw or inspiration, I have limited time and I draw as much as I can. I am still looking for my own style. I draw a sketch first, then line art, then color it and add shadows and highlights.”
You: *cough cough* Everyone around you:EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! COVID!!! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEE!!!
The artist says that “sometimes it seems that everything is already invented and there is nothing new you can bring to this art field, but on the other side - there are so many great artists you may learn from and when you are beginner illustrator you may copy someone's style by the time you'll practice enough and find your own.”
Inna is personally inspired by artists like Litterbox Comics, Yehuda Devir, Simone Grünewald, and Comicada.
When asked about future aspirations, Inna replies: “As you have noticed, the main theme of my comics is maternity. But I want to find other themes as well. Maybe someday I'll make my comic book. And I am planning to continue improving my skills.”
How it really happens I guess: *new parents walk home without a CLUE what to do*👩🏻🍼
No shame on anyone who has or wants kids, but stuff like this reminds me why I'm hesitant. You capture the realities of parenting very well!
In return you get an amazing experience, and a relationship you can't have even with your significant other. I personally feel it's worth it. Also, the hassles that come with a child are nothing compared to the far larger problems we are ridden with and live with silently. Of course, feel free to ignore if you dislike.

Don’t know why Nelson Ricardo got downvoted so heavily. It’s cartoons like these, plus so many of the other allegedly funny parenting posts online that made me not want to have children.
There are funny posts about the crazy side of everything out there. Do the posts about cars and dogs doing silly stuff and breaking things make people not want to have pets?
