“Yes, But”: 28 Thought-Provoking Illustrations Showcasing Society’s Most Common Contradictions (New Pics)
Welcome back to the "Yes, But" universe, also known as our reality, since all of these hilarious comics are inspired by none other but our daily contradictions.
Anton Gudim continues to consistently create the illustrative two-panel comics that we all know and love by now. From thought-provoking to absurd, this creator will never cease to amaze us with his unique ideas captured in such a simple yet effective manner. So, without further ado, let's take a look at Gudim's newest releases!

This Moscow-based artist continues growing his fan base on social media platforms and now has over 1.4 million followers on Instagram alone. Gudim shared how it makes the artist feel that his account grows so rapidly.
“My comics are about what I see around me, about incidents from my life, about observations, and given that my life cannot be called "unusual", so I'm not surprised that many people face the same problems or situations. It's also very nice to see when you're not alone and when people around the world can feel the same way,” shared Gudim.
I feel like this should be all social media, not just tik Tok
The artist consistently makes new comics and seems to never run out of ideas and energy. Gudim shared how many comics he creates on a weekly basis.
“A few years ago, I would have answered: about 2 comics a week, but now the situation is a little different. I have a second project (Yes, But (you could see it)), I still get commissions for commercial illustrations, and I also do some of my drawings in animation form (and since I have little to no animation skills, this process can take several days). Given all this, my answer would be almost every day. I draw something almost every day, I don't have clear days off, even during the holidays. I can draw something on the plane or in the hotel room. I can’t say that this rhythm is tiring because I feel that I can stop at any moment, but if I don’t draw for 1-2 days, I already want to draw again,” shared with his obsession comic artist Gudim.
Now I'm wonder, why they name it Miss universe whereas we just live in one planet
Bullfighting goes beyond cruelty and cowardice. Just because it's wrapped up in a country's "culture" doesn't make it right and doesn't protect it. Slavery was once wrapped up in Africa's culture.
Gudim is very grateful for his fans all over the platforms. He also shared this message with the Pandas: “I hope that you will not be too critical of what I do. Although, perhaps, the Internet was created specifically for this. Comics/drawings/creativity is as much a part of our life as trees, sky, and birds, and I really like being inside it. All I want is to invite you to the world that I created, and maybe it will give you a little joy, distract you from problems, maybe make you think, or inspire you to some kind of your own creativity. Thank you for your time!”
I don't get this one? edit: ohhhh I get it now. that makes a lot of sense. thanks pandas!
He blocks ads, but he's a walking billboard covered in ads.

This one is stupid. I get it, he's a walking advertisement, but he's not wearing / drinking that stuff to advertise, he's wearing it because he likes it. Nobody like internet ads
I wear a very nice jacket with Amtrak (incompetently run USA passenger rail network) on it, because I like riding the trains (in spite of the comment earlier). In Chicago was accosted by someone who insisted that I must work for Amtrak, despite my denials, because of the jacket. Finally, I asked him how it was up on the North Face. He looked totally bewildered as I pointed at his jacket, and walked away.
I have never understood why ppl pay so much money to be a walking billboard of advertisements. The companies should pay us for promoting their brand not the other way round
He blocked ads but he uses brand food/clothing.

It's ironic.... but at least he's choosing what companies he advertises.
I once had a sweatshirt that I purchased to support a business I believed in. It came with a label on the front of the clothing company that made it. I removed the label. I bought the shirt to support the one, not the other.
There is one missing.... YES (picture of person with framed college degree on wall). BUT (picture of computer screen showing HOAX and person clicking SHARE on social media). I have well educated friends that constantly share hoaxes and distorted information on Fakebook without using common sense or googling even the most obvious ones.
You can get vegan equivalents to those whipped cream toppings. I have to use those. They don't contain lactose
It's not enough to love. Sometimes love needs to fight. NYC is becoming what it is today because those in charge stopped caring about their own citizens.
Famous society beauty to famous wit: we should mate, imagine a child with my looks and your brain. Ah madam but what if it were the other way round...
It's almost like pedestrians can't kill someone just because they bump into them and aren't going 50 mph
Everyone have their own reason/motive...maybe they not comfortable enough to share ride or different workplace etc
What are you talking about? This is when people queue up, but someone's mate is at the top of the line so they feel entitled to skip the line and go stand by their mate
The Spinal Association in the UK got these banned because of the harm they do (even at low speeds) to people with back/spine issues. I wish the rest of the world would follow suit.
Every time I see these comics, I post the same thing. They all sound like they were written by a 12 year old who is going through an edgy phase of hating society. Ridiculous, trying to depict controversies that don't exist.
There are perhaps one or two that are relevant, but for the rest I completely agree with you.

I agree with some of them, but I think a lot of these are just trying to find the worst in everything.
NO WAY THESE MAKE SOOOO MUCH SENSE!!! I HAD NOOO IDEA THAT SPEED BUMPS AFFECT GREEN LIGHTS!!!! but fr these make no sense and don't seem like things necessary to be pointed out.
Wow. I felt so inspired. Definitely thought provoking. aMaZiNg
Every time I see these comics I see comments like "oh you suck" "this is immature" "ur dum" and b******t like that, like, b***h you didn't have to read it, you are the one that took the time out of your life, not only to read these, but to make a comment to degrade them. I don't give a f**k who you think you are, you gotta check yourself, because you are one of the rudest m***********s ever. This is supposed to be lighthearted and a little funny, it's not made to please your every whim. Jesus f*****g christ.
And your post with that language (especially the last sentence) does not help in an way at all. Were you trying to get the record for the most rude words or something?

I do not agree with all of these but what good drawings the artist does.
