One thing is for sure, reading comics is a way for many people to temporarily forget about their problems and immerse themselves in whatever world the artist has created.
"Chronicles of Us" is a comic series by Guy Elnathan, and is exactly the type of work that will put a smile on your face. Sometimes the artist's comics are ridiculously funny, sometimes they portray relatable everyday situations, and best of all? They sum up what it's like to be married and have a newborn baby on top of that!
As the artist and his wife navigate through their life with a newborn child together, they document their experiences in these wholesome comics you are about to see.

My father was like this. He'd pick me up from school. Carry me to the car. (Seat already laid back) and have a hot water bottle waiting. I miss him.
On a second date I got my period and had no pads. I'd bleed extremely heavily so I couldn't leave the portapotty (we were at an outdoor concert) with just tp. My then boyfriend walked 3 blocks to the store and bought me every type of tampad he could see then proceeded to tell me (yelling it because again it was a concert) what he got at the portapotty doors until it was the one I needed. I married this man.
"Oh oh I want a bf like this sooo much where are guys like this. Oh oh yes I friendzoned dozens of caring guys, ph they were poor and not cool okay."
Oh Seth, I think you need to take a look at the bigger picture, and wonder if it's more of that mentality that turns people off

Rest assured, if you happen to decide to subscribe to it, you will get a daily dose of humor and a sprinkle of wholesomeness following the artist's new life as a husband and dad. Guy shares his anxieties and experiences, as the artist and his wife take a huge step into parenthood together.
It's all fun and games until she brings home two gallon-sized tubs saying "I couldn't decide"
I'm addicted. It's not a good night unless I have my ice cream before bed.
One might say that being a father is not only hard, but it’s also brutal at times. You go through these waves of emotions that are ups and downs. Some of the most difficult parts of it might really end up being psychological and emotional. New dads might even end up having thoughts of “What are we doing? How did we end up here?"
When my daughter was born, the first thing I told her was, "One day, you will take over the world." As long as she's a mastermind, I don't mind if she's a bit evil.
Because Bored Panda's censoring algorithm is dumb and unrealistic. That's why.

For new parents, the first year is all about survival. After that, it transitions into being about seeing what kind of kid they might be and making the most of nap time. In Guy's comics, we can clearly see him and his wife being exhausted at times when taking care of their newborn baby, but in the end, it's all worth it, especially after they get to see his little cute "weh."

I was Ruined When Recently Someone Posted Saying That Our Pets Most Likely Only Love Their Owners The Same Way Kidnapped Victims Love Their Captors. Stockholm Syndrome For Pets!! I Hope It's Not True!! 🐶 ❤️
With all of that being said, we hope that some of you might relate to the artist's struggles as a new parent, and if not, perhaps the artist has made you laugh or smile with any of his other comics! So, let us know which comic was your favorite and why, we'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions down in the comments (or under the comics).
Never have I talked about poop as much as I do now that my BF and I got a dog, lol.
1,000% 😂 My dog has stomach issues too. His poop is a twice a day convo haha. The vet knows him for his GI issues lmao.
Load More Replies...So true. We have a three-times-a-day-shitter,if it's the last walk of the day we whisper so he is not disturbed while searching for a loo. Nobody wants to be awaken for his I-forgot-to-s**t-walk at night.
Back in the day, I was in the Army. My job was a type of Helicopter mechanic. Everyone in Aviation jobs had to take surprise drug tests (UA). And an NCO had to supervise all testing. Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you have to initiate a pee stream into a bottle while some ugly a$$ Sergeant is staring at your junk!!!
It's the same conversation once you have a baby, except for the watching part lol
My Baby Doesn't Like It When We Stare When He Poops or Eats. If He's Outside, I'll see where He Is, But Turn My Head every few seconds. If We're Walking somewhere and He Has To Poop and I Am Next To Him, He Will Rush and Keep Walking. When We Get Insider, He Needs To Go BACK Outside To Finish His Poopy Business. I Can Also Tell When He Needs To Poop When He Walks Outside By The Way He Walks, Lifts His Tail, and if His but*hole seems too big, etc. We Also Know To Wait Longer If He Eats Grass as that Means He Needs To Clean His Stomach by either Pooing or Vomiting. My Poor Beautiful Baby!! 😘 🐶
fr. that's why i find it hard to love a loving thing, be it another human or my pets. i get attached so easily and i know i'll get hurt really bad :'(
Nothing lasts forever, just have to live and enjoy the present. That's what keeps me going

My wife left a box of chocolates on our dining room table for two weeks and I took one yesterday. She was saving them for two weeks from now to give at a dinner party I knew nothing about.
And then when you purposely don't eat it, it goes stale and winds up in the garbage.
The Other Night I was going to Cook some hotdogs, sausages, and Eggs for My Hubby. Ended Up saving them in the Fridge since Mom brought Food Over. The Next Day He Made Half The Hotdogs (His), and ALL The Sausages!! He Only Left 1 Hotdog and a Small Piece of Sausage in The Microwave SOAKED In HOT SAUCE!! Didn't Even Make or Leave Me Anything!! He Also Admitted That He Thought That That Was The LAST Of The Sausages; so He Chose To Eat Them All!! (We still had more and I made them after. For BOTH Of Us!!) EVIL MONSTER!! 😂 😂
My partner and I LOVED a certain type of cookie (ok, PF Nantuket) Sometimes I'd buy 2 pkgs and hide one for myself. Cause you know that when they look in the pantry, they can only see the first row of stuff.
I feel this way about any peice of food Ive been thinking about that someone ate
Lol in my experience its more like "water is too hot" vs. "water is too cold"
soo..if your naugyt in the shower. are you clean stil or dirty ? :3
We also fight over the temperature. I usually want scalding hot, he wants lukewarm water.
Even worse when one of you likes hot showers and the other likes cold.
And it gives hope in heart in school times 😂 And it ends sadly 🥲
Load More Replies...I'm Always Called "LAZY" Because I don't or can't do things anymore. I have always been treated like a slave. Doing everything for everyone and they Still Call Me Lazy or They Make A List Of All The Stuff I DON'T or CAN'T do in their Eyes. I'm Never Appreciated But They Taken The Time To Say All My Wrongs. My Mental Health is so bad right now and I don't see the point in doing things anymore. If I DO do something, it's a Problem. If I DON'T do something, it's also a Problem. 😢 🥺
Hope you get some compassion from someone's and get help and feel better!

I thought it was like "thank God you came home, Ive been barely surviving, did you bring food, can you please wash my laundry I don't know how the machine works"... -"dude I was away for a day"...
Even better when you and your spouse can wear your ugly clothes in front of each other and still find each other attractive.
I do this almost every night🥲 I though I was the only one.
I have bad anxiety and insomnia, so This Happens Frequently (more worry than actual tears though). Many Times I have Checked On My Hubby To Make Sure It's REALLY HIM. Like I'll turn on my Phone Flashlight and shine it in His Face. I know He hates light at night and Would Wake Up, But I Feel Relieved When I Hear His Voice and See His Face Clearly!! I am also Always Touching His Body To Memorize It As Well. I Known, I'm Weird. But It Makes Me Feel Better and Safe. Sometimes It's Like I Can't Believe He Is MINE!! ❤️ 💕 ❤️ 💕
Since my wife had a heart attack(She Survived) this is Me everynight
People do this to my 2 dogs as well; pit bulls but mine are the big baby kind 🥰
I feel like this is any loved pit bull... but they do need to be around other dogs that can tolerate high energy rough play.

i upvote myself cause i read somewhere that if a post has zero likes someone might be like "hmm idk what if it got downvoted i dont wanna be wrong" but if it has one they might be like "aww lemme help this guy out"

In My House, We Were Taught To Tell Mom. It would Help Make Sure We're Using The Bathroom Regularly. We were also taught to Check Our Pee and Poo to make sure it was healthy enough and if anything was wrong. This Shouldn't Be A Bad Thing. Besides, We ALL Go!! 😊 😊
Load More Replies...Yellow hearts was what my best friend sent me when we still talked. Two days ago I sent one to a friend, Rose. Rose will never know how much that little heart means to me, or what it meant that I sent it to her. Rose is not my new best friend, but could be if she wanted too, she's helped me more than anyone else has. She called me cool once, and talked to me, and I no longer feel extreme anxiety talking to people and have friends now, and I won't die aloneee. Thank you Rose

Don't know why you got downvoted. We did the same with our twins once it was clear they preferred the bottle to breastfeeding (the hospital started bottle feeding, with pumped milk in addition, because I was in another wing for a while for blood pressure issues). My husband is a night owl, anyway, so we'd split the days so I could sleep some more...
Load More Replies...Before you decide to react angrily to something your partner has said/done, have a snack and a nap. It's probably one of those two that you're actuality upset about.
I hope I die before my dog because I'd be sad and lost without her. At the same time though it makes me sad to think that if I died 1st she'd be confused,sad, and lost without me.
Oldest was 2 weeks & I had to leave him w/ MIL and both SILs. I was in the bathroom crying before they even left! Was gone 3 hours & called 5 times. *First Time Parent Woes* MIL kept him overnight at 2.5 - called once! 😂

Just gonna throw something that I’ve learned recently out there. So when you restrict specific foods, you foster a scarcity mindset surrounding that specific food and that in turn intensifies to urge to binge. You can heal your relationship with this food by keeping it in the house and communicating with your partner that it is there. And allowing yourself to have a serving a day. Of course, there will be binge episodes in the process, but eventually you will no longer feel the need to binge that item.
Oh Wow!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I Actually Stress Eat and Always End Up Beings Obsessed with a certain Snack or Food. Unfortunately, this ends up with Me Stocking Up on That Specific Snack and eventually I End Up Not Liking It Anymore By The End Of The Week or something. The Hardest One I have right Now Is Ice Cream. I don't eat as much as I used to, but there are So Many Different Flavors, That It IS Hard. Thanks For Putting This Into Words!! Do You Think You Can Tell Me What To Search For To Learn More?? 😊 😊

What Was The Author Avatar?? What's Wrong With This Single Strip and What's The Difference Between Just This One And The Others On This Page?? Generally Curious. 🤨 🤨 🤔 🤔 😊 😊
Load More Replies...I Think "The Problem" may be the Fact That They BOTH Surprised Ordered Food INSTEAD Of Cooking Homemade Foods OR Something Else. They Both Also Ordered Different Meals. 😊 😁
Load More Replies...It's rather apparent that neither one felt like cooking, both thought that the other expected them to provide dinner, and both had different items that they wanted for dinner; this is what I call a "good problem", because both took it upon themselves to provide dinner, so now they don't have to cook the next night, either.
Which to have now and which to have later hmmmm decisions decisions.
Replace dog with cat and you're right. If I pet a dog I'd get all stuffy and be suffering more than before.
So true This is why I wish to bring my dog to school
I almost spit out my coffee laughing at this one because it’s true!! Spending time with a pup is never a punishment unless someone is allergic to pups!

Safe answer: "I like your butt", in a neutral tone. Unsafe answer: "Oh. My. God, Becky, look at her butt."

Plastic baby will not help you. Nothing prepares you for parenthood (except parenthood) . It's just one of those things that you have to jump both feet at the same time.
In this economy, that's definitely the most cost effective option.... just saying 😉

I would have loved to stay pregnant a little longer. They had to do an emergency C-section for my twins at 36+4 weeks because of my blood pressure and a not so great heart monitoring, but I was actually feeling okay and really didn't want it to be over so soon (especially as it was 29th December and I was hoping to get to the new year for practical reasons). All other children in my family were at least one week over, and it's not so weird since the due date is always an estimation. Why do so many mothers want their baby out so much once the due date is there? Do you wish to go from being allowed to rest whenever to barely sleeping as soon as possible? Does your body's resilience just deteriorate after 40+0? Is it that you'll have to wait one more week to eat soft cheese again? I never understood that, especially as it's such a common trope in TV series... Please, explain!
My sister was more than two weeks past due date. The doctors kept telling her all was fine and sending her home. In fact, it turned out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby four times so he couldn't drop into delivery position and he was so overdue his fontanelles had started to close. If she had gone into labor they both would have died. My mum, with 'doctor' in front of her name finally had to go in with her before anyone would listen. Ultrasound, emergency cesarean, both healthy but that baby was something like nearly 14 pounds by then and his head never would have passed through her pelvis. At a certain point it's just TIME.

Hubby said I almost broke his hand during labor. He had bruises after. 😆
I wouldn't let anyone hold my legs. I was afraid I would hurt them.
You all realize that "weh" will never die? Five years from now, we'll be saying weh to posts, and the newcomers will have no idea why.
