When we reached out to Gudim, we asked him about his work to gain insights into the idea generation and creative process behind the “Yes, But” comics. First, he shared where his inspiration for the new strips comes from: "I’m always observing the world around me, taking note of interesting or paradoxical situations that I encounter. These observations often serve as the basis for my comics. As for my work environment, I can create pretty much anywhere as long as it's peaceful and I have the mental space to focus."
When you sit down, you block air movement, creating a low pressure zone. The hot air and smoke from the fire moves to fill that zone. If possible, sitting evenly around the fire should lead to even pressure, so the smoke will rise instead of getting in your face.
You haven't lived until you mistakenly use poison oak wood for firewood and the smoke does this.
Yup!! I cannot stand those tags and sometimes cutting them out makes the itching and stabbing feelings worse!
Anton continued, modestly noting that he doesn't come up with anything special; the ideas simply come to him on their own. He said: "It means that the topic has not exhausted itself and the format itself has a wide interpretation, which almost does not restrain my creative impulses."

thank you for that opinion I will file it under stupid sh*t I see ppl say
Load More Replies...We were also curious about whether the artist has faced any challenges, such as criticism from individuals following his work online, and we learned that: “Criticism is part of being a creative individual, especially when your work is shared on such a vast platform. I view every critique as an opportunity to grow and improve. However, it's crucial to distinguish between constructive criticism and simple negativity. If the critique is meaningful, it could potentially influence my future work, but I won't alter my style just due to personal dislike."
I can count on one hand, how many times in my 60 years I've seen a public clock with the correct time
This is why I prefer analog watches over smartwatches. Yes, they may seem cool and futuristic but analog watches will never go out of style.
My watch shows both digital and analog time. Nonetheless, I like looking at the time on public clocks ♥
British weather. Scorching when you're at work and then guaranteed rain on weekends and bank holidays Mondays.
scorching in the UK meaning of course anything above 20°C... and when it rains, it pours.
Load More Replies...My beloved Pacific NorthWET doesn't generally even bother with the sunny days except for the occasional teasing sunny Friday before a 3-day weekend that will be damp and muddy consistently.
Clearly the weekend is the preferable choice here - absolutely sunny weather every day? I think I'd off myself...
Finally, Gudim admitted that there are still many topics he hasn’t touched upon in his series yet, but he definitely has a list of things he’d like to feature in his upcoming comics. He added: “Given the endless stream of contradictions and absurdities in our lives, there's no shortage of subjects to cover. However, I prefer to keep my plans under wraps. The surprise element of my comics, I believe, contributes to their appeal."
... When part of the directions include "turn onto the unpaved road...
Basically if you want to get anywhere across the Willamette River near Lake Oswego. They adamantly refuse to build a bridge there, meaning at least a 10 mile detour north or south.
Recently I tried to find a microbrewery in a city I was visiting. Google Maps had me literally going in circles! I finally said f--- it and eyeballed my way. Now I use an app my friends recommended.
Left out the nearly naked pictures of women everywhere. And the graphic might—as-well be naked sex media sex scenes.
Ask me how I knew WAAAAAY too much about anatomy WAAAAAY too young. Bike shorts... Lifelong dedicated bicycle commuter and competitive triathloner Daddy.
I think that I could almost forgive the mosquitos if they didn't insist on keeping me awake when they manage to get in.
I love it when this happens. Two artworks and only put the effort into making one of them. As long as it leaks onto more paper and not tablecloth that is.
I drew something one time that the paper under it looks better. Framed that one.
Load More Replies...use specialised paper depending on your art materials, but yeah, this is anoying
Maybe the hook permanently damaged its mouth? Not a fish expert here🥲
Load More Replies...I have seen far too many people with headphones on, talking on phones, using speakerphones, and not paying attention to their surroundings in crosswalks and traffic alike. Why??
To avoid talking strangers. There doesn't necessarily need anything playing in the headphones to deter unwanted interactions.
Load More Replies...Folks without headphones are just as perfectly capable of this behavior. In fact, the ones who can barely look up from their phones anymore are arguably worse.
People who block out their surroundings, whether by staring at their addiction plastic or wearing headphones, are arrogant fkers who make others responsible for their safety. If you don't care about your surroundings, then I don't care about you.
As a girl with ADHD, peoples does that sometime to not have theor earts hurt, for me it when i feel overstimlumated or when my ears hurt ^^
Load More Replies...Ironically it's the bigger dogs that are more behaved than the little rats that go splat under my foot
I have given Spouse THE PHOTO that I want used if I ever go missing, get murdered, commit murder, or anything causing the news to need a picture of me. Worst kept secret on Earth: Yes, it has one of my dogs in it too. Everyone looks better when happy.
This is a bit judgemental. Every person deals with pain in different ways, and pays homage in different ways, too. You can go to the cemetery every week and buy expensive flowers as a "show", so that people can see what a wonderful person you are... Or you can mourn in private and try to do every day something positive to keep that person's memory alive. The price and number of flowers on the tomb doesn't prove anything. For me, what we bury in the cemetery is an empty shell. No need to go there to pretend you are crying. If you need to go, fine. But don't criticise people who feel different.
I dont think its saying anything about not bringing things to the gravesite. Its a joke about how he has tons of great photos of himself and they chose to use the one that looks like he was in the middle of a sneeze
Load More Replies...Don't know if I've been to a place that doesn't take cash. At least not on a full time basis
Load More Replies...Its always good to carry cash with you in case of emergencies. The 2003 blackout is a good example, it caught many people off-guard and weren't prepared. It became common knowledge afterwards when I was in school. Plus, some restaurants are still cash only.
Cash only places are going out now, thankfully. Even at concerts the popup merch stands are taking card.
the ones that are cashless don't pay taxes or pay their employees under the table
so true ! pay (often expensive) a beautiful view like this but which we cannot enjoy at night because of the reflection of the windows !
If everyone is in on the joke that's fine, but if anyone shoved my face in my birthday cake some fists are flying.
And the kids always eating off the frosting, leaving you with the dry cake. You're lucky if it has raisins in it.
"Please turn off devices with transmitting function" is the new directive.
because I don’t want to hear that woman on the bus screaming in her phone while I listen to my music to isolate me even more
I can't imagine having headphones/ear buds without NCT anymore. The world around me is too loud (people, traffic etc.), so I daresay I prefer trying to drown it out so I can hear my music. (But because I have had tinnitus for years now, I do try to take it easy with the volume when using NCT)
Personally, I find that when I'm overstimulated, having sound that I control is a lot better
But he's happy? Seems like the wrong face to make when he's sold already . . .
He’s crying in the reflection of the second picture
