Love is in the small things. And Los Angeles-based artist Amanda Oleander captures these cute couple moments in her illustrations. Drawing inspiration from her own romantic relationship and collecting memories from people close to her, Amanda perfectly shows in her relationship comics what love looks like when no one's watching.

Amanda is currently dating Joey Rudman. "[He] ends up drawn in most of my adult cartoons," she told Bored Panda. "We have been together for almost three years. He's the sweetest man I've ever met." The artist describes the bond between them as pure magic. "Before I met Joey if anyone told me their love and relationship was like ours I wouldn't believe it. It's nothing less than amazing. We can't get enough of each other."

"I'm enthralled by the way people behave behind closed doors, intimate moments with their significant others we never get to see. Those are moments that can’t be documented because if they were, it would alter the way the person behaved. So I draw them."

Oleander claims that each of her cute cartoons is inspired by a different concept. "I do wish that viewers take with them a sense of confidence and appreciation for the simple moments in life."

I'm not too hairy and for the longest time I didn't know the extent women can have hair everywhere.

Natural or no, no matter how much I leave my body be I'll never get the dark coarse hairs on my butt and back. That's probably a medical condition.

We're in our 10th year of marriage, we knew each other nearly a decade beforehand. I am normally like you, I enjoy being clean-shaven for ME. But after falling and cracked ribs, I can't lean over. It's driving me SPARE. --sighs--

Having long hair on your legs sometimes hurts when it's rubbing against jeans or something. I couldn't let myself get that hairy, I'd feel unkempt. Besides which I'm one of those ethnics so it's incredibly obvious because of how black it is. No thank you sir.

Perhaps because it is not accepted as a woman to have hair there Perhaps, so the women you met have removed it and preferably without anyone knowing because it's embarrassing and shameful.

Wow what a sensitive little thing you must be to let something as trivial as hair on someone else's cartoon body bother you.

LOL. Letting hair grow where it naturally grows is "letting yourself go?"

Grooming behaviors, people. Way back when we used to pull lice out of each other's hair. LOL!!

I have a five month old and this one is quite true to life, down to the pumping equipment and the mess of clothes. I adore the tiny hearts floating above the parents. This is so sweet.

Nope this is wrong. The dog always is in the middle so I can't touch my wife.

The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho is a wonderful read and very short too. One of my favourites.
