You know that tiny voice in your head that goes, “Yeah… but…” right after you agree with something? That’s exactly where Anton Gudim lives creatively.

His “Yes, But” series turns those quiet contradictions into sharp, two-panel comics, simple, clean, and just a little too accurate. No overexplaining, no noise, just a setup, a twist, and that split-second realization that makes you laugh… then question yourself.

Shouting equals authority. It's a bizarre affliction our society seems saddled with.

Gudim’s genius is in how little he needs to say. With minimal visuals and almost no text, he taps straight into the strange logic of everyday life—our habits, our quiet excuses, the little hypocrisies we all carry around. Then he flips them, clean and precise, in a way that feels obvious… just not before you see it.

It lands fast, but doesn’t leave as quickly. Funny first, then slightly uncomfortable, because there’s usually a bit of you in it.

Scroll down to see his latest comics, and pick the one that hits a little too close.

    Always get a receipt, otherwise it's next to impossible to return anything. Oh, and you'll note that some places ask if you want the receipt, the receipt is automatically printed and if you say no they'll just toss it into a bin. McDonald's, I'm looking at you.

    I think it's supposed to be something you can punch / beat up for exercise, but it's then wrapped and padded for shipping. But it took me a while...

    So true. People with the Logo (ad) shirts from designer brands are lower income people. Rich people don't advertise the brands for the companies unless paid to do it. Same with purses, the cheap lux purses have the name covering the bag top to bottom

    That doesn't mean you get to wander into the women's locker room. Seeing them mostly nakie is on their terms.

    I was homeless for six months when I was 22. I broke into an abandoned shop to sleep in at night after just one night on the streets. That was a weird time in my life, but I survived. Certainly made me tougher in the long run. EDIT - I should also add that it gave me access to running (cold) water and a toilet. No heating or electric though. It was super cold. We're talking ice in the bathroom levels of cold.

    Line cutting? Saving spot in line for 4 other people? Depends on circumstance. I don't want to wait in line next to a family with 3 annoying kids for 1-2hrs. But don't save spots for 3 adult friends who just got there or it's only a 5-10min line

    The second one isn't actively using it in public. 🤷‍♂️
