Anton Gudim is an illustrator known for his sharp, minimalist style that lays bare the contradictions of modern life with unsettling precision. His series "Yes, But..." relies on simple two-panel comics to reveal uncomfortable truths, stripping away any distraction or commentary so the message lands with quiet force.

Without using words or punchlines, Gudim highlights the hypocrisy and irony woven into our daily routines, turning familiar scenes into biting social critique. His work resonates because it holds up an unflinching mirror to our double standards and asks us to confront what we usually overlook.

    Hope she didn't get in trouble. Pressed a $10 bill into our waitress' hand during our recent dining out, after Son In Law paid the bill. TONS of people in that Calabash, sweeping and doing who knows what. My understanding is if she DOES get a share of the tip(if the owner does not try to screw the ESL speaking crew) it wouldn't be much.

    I'm much more embarrassed getting undressed, I'm always so clumsy or notice that a sock has a hole. The examination of my private parts is just their job, so that is very different.
