Gudim shared that drawing wasn't his main job for a long time. He went to a technical university because he was good at math, which is why his drawings might seem very precise and not very emotional.

    My friend was doing laundry and tripped while taking a basket of ironed clothes upstairs. I wanted to help but unfortunately all I could do was sit there and just watch it all unfold.

    After graduating, Gudim worked as an engineer, changed jobs, and improved in his career. However, he often felt bored and unsatisfied with his life. That's when he realized he wanted to go back to the hobbies he enjoyed as a child but with "a more mature perspective".

    Gudim told us that he created "Yes, But" in 2016. It was inspired by thinking about how people handle conflicting things in their lives. "In fact, this format is the destruction of expectations, that is, a fairly standard humorous technique, but the signature 'yes, but' brings all disparate situations under one 'template,' showing how comprehensive it can be."

    I don’t get it? Is it covering the size? Because usually it’s printed on the label as well?
