Artist Who Illustrates Everyday Life With His Wife Is Having Another Baby, Shares Their Parenting Struggles In 32 Comics
I don't know about you but to me, it seems that Yehuda Devir and his wife Maya have just announced they're having their first child. But it was two years ago! Not only that, the couple revealed that "mommy got a bun in the oven" again in October!
Yehuda and Maya have been documenting their everyday life through comics for years (previously here, here, and here), and it's incredibly awesome to see how their parenting journey has become such an important part of their work too.
Adjusting to becoming a mom and dad is quite something on its own, but these two look like they have their priorities straight, guiding them along the way, and have figured it out. At least for the most part.

Wonderful drawing, bur I can't see the Hulk stuffy. Is he there and I'm blind?
yayaayyyy I love these and so glad she's preggo again, dang their little one is getting big!
The first time the cute couple tried to get pregnant, it took them about a year. "While doing so, we've realized that a family of our own is the biggest creation we can hope for," Yehuda told Bored Panda in an earlier interview.
"The hardest parts were at the end of each month when Maya used to have her period," he added. "Continuously dealing with lack of success makes you feel as if you aren’t in control of your life. It’s a terrible feeling."
She Can Walk!
Yehuda, Maya, and Ariel have already had 4 lockdowns in their country, which means Ariel's daycare has to close too. The parents wish they could be with Ariel all the time when all of them are home, but they had to get a babysitter so they could work. "Like everyone else, we too have not been able to escape the limitations of the pandemic, and we need to be very creative in order to continue working in this situation," Yehuda said. "We have transformed our lectures and workshops, taking them online, and we make sure to appear in online events as much as possible."
"Also, these days we are publishing a new online series that will give you a glimpse into our private creative world. It will answer questions such as: how did we transform our most personal moments into content that millions can relate to all over the world? How did evolve from comic artists into successful content creators? What is it really like to put your most vulnerable side out there for everyone to see? What is it like to sit behind the screen after publishing new content and letting the world see you with no filters?"
Here's the official trailer of the new series. The couple also published a new book with Penguin Random House, and it's already number one on the Amazon bestselling list!

When it comes down to it, if we're being honest with ourselves, we've all kicked a pregnant lady...
My first never quite realized there was a baby in there. She'd lay on my belly, second baby kicking her in the head. No recognition lol
If this is the first time you're meeting them, artists Yehuda and Maya Devir are a married couple from Isreal and the creators of the popular webcomic "One of Those Days".
Yehuda Devir, born in 1988. According to Maya, he "makes ants look lazy". Yehuda found his love for drawing in infancy when he began painting on his bedroom walls. He was particularly influenced by American comics.
Maya Devir was born a year later, in 1989. Yehuda says she's "a goddess in a form of a woman who spreads joy wherever she goes". She specializes in realism and teasing Yehuda.
Out Of Proportion
And the stretch marks and the acne. All very real when pregnant.

I love how everyone cares more about the Hulk than the actual drawing :D
You'll regret it when that is the only word she says, and she says it like 50 times in a row!
Oh yes. I have a 3yo and a 10month old. The second just started saying Mama, a bit late. Super cute. The 3yo on the other hand...

Maya is an artist herself and collaborates with her husband on the series. “Usually after something interesting ... happens to us, we tighten the concept and do a few composition sketches,” Yehuda explained once. “After that, I sit down and start working. When I finish, Maya adds her suggestions for improvement, suggesting color, typography, and so on. All of this process takes no more than a day.”
Mommy Deserves A Toy Too
I love how he always had this perfect muscle body and now with the baby he's missing the six-pack
The detail of her stretch mark on her tummy is unnoticed, but clearly Yehuda loves his wife to show that detail on a comic!!!
Me a 13 year old who is seeing this oh ok Im just gonna scroll down quickly
Our New Year's Eve
Everybodies Watching
It's okay, nobody is watching you. They're here for a fun time at the beach, not to stare at others. Plus, most are feeling just as insecure as you. Try not to worry too much. Just focus on enjoying the day with your family, & soon that'll be all you'll be thinking about! It's okay to not love how you look, but don't let it ruin a fun day out with your family. Make some memories! ♡
As a person with slight pudge, big thighs, and no thigh gap, I totally understand the feeling, but it's gonna be ok. We may not be super skinny with big breasts and toosh, but we're still beautiful. ❤️
Ready For The Next Step
im sorry this is super cute but the dad is huge compared to everyone else. i feel that pain.
Talking about their parenting journey, Yehuda and Maya said they are as excited as ever. “We are experiencing a whole new range of emotions and feelings we didn't know existed,” they told us. The journey revealed new sides in their personalities that aren’t only positive ones. "We also have a lot of conflicts, but we grow from it,” the couple said.
Aaachooo!
You’ve been slimed! (And I will bet good money baby uses either mom and/or dad’s shirt as a Kleenex!)
Bad Romance
anyone else notice how the underpants are hanging in the front... yeah, i feel bad for you.
The Screen
It becomes really useful. I taught my 3yo how to voice search on YT kids app. Only way to keep her quiet while baby is sleeping
The only thing they got wrong was that if you pokes them when they were watching TV they would freak out
Love how the little blocks say REL, for Ariel. really cute attention to detail <3
She Needed A Hand
After the baby was born, Yehuda and Maya had no option but to change their priorities: “There is no more couple, no more team at work... only Ariel.” In fact, the couple now works in shifts and is living under a new schedule. “It's a new life and we’re getting used to it. But not in a bad way. This experience is going to create a new and better us.”
And now, twice as much!
Multitasking
Why didn't he take the baby shopping, if mama is trying to work from home?
I can perfectly understand. I once had a panic attack in a supermarket because there was too much choice. I don't need fifty different sorts of shampoos with different scents, colours, textures, prices, for dry or fat hair, I just need something I can wash my head with, period.
Go to Amazon, look for Garofalo pasta, it's from Italy, it's better than anything I can get in a US supermarket
My husband has literally video called me the entire time he was at the store, multiple times. Didn't know where anything was, wouldn't ask the workers. Didn't know what we normally buy. I was trying to get the toddler to sleep. Now, with the second baby, he just tries his best and I never complain about the groceries. He tried
As for what to buy: I make fotos or take them from the internet and send him.

I just gonna say here, but having little petty, not that big of a deal tiny fights once or twice a year in front of a kid is ok, because it let's them know that nobody perfects and it's OK to fight a little
Even the best parents with the best intentions will end up in situations like this, if a couple are both intense and opinionated. They're Israelis, so that would be a given. It is also not a bad idea for a kid to see that their parents fight, and also see that fighting doesn't end a relationship.
As long as the fighting isn't malicious or manipulative, i totally agree. Children learn conflict resolution from their parents

FIY the blue cloudy water around the guy's legs is just to show that he is urinating. There is no chemical or dye that makes your urine turn purple or blue in a pool.
oh shitt, my duaghter did this once at her b day, she did not know about the chemicals....
My oldest sister did this on my tenth birthday a few days ago she went in the pool and had to poop and she just did it in the pool and she is twenty five and brown came around her and it was terrifying
Load More Replies...the gross thing is that most of the time at water parks the ones who pee in the pool are the adults.

Quality Time
They seem like a really connected couple, so this is probably just one of those “I love you and am happy to be next to you, but I just don’t feel like talking right now”. Pre-tech, they would’ve both been reading, so kind of a non-problem—-unless it happens all the time.

We're In This Together! There Is No ‘I‘ In ‘We’.my Biggest Fear, As A Woman, Mother, And Wife, Is To Suddenly Find Myself Alone In The World
There is no “I” in “WE.” They both are a TEAM. Tackling things down TOGETHER but there is a fear of one being knocked down. Unfortunately people can get sick and the team is left with just an “I” for a little bit of time or until forever. People didn’t seem to understand the illustration, had to break it down
She didn't knock him out-the toddler did. But that might change if he doesn't get up.
