It’s Funny Because It’s True: 28 “Yes, But” Comics (New Pics)
For many Bored Panda readers, Anton Gudim needs little introduction. His instantly recognizable series, "Yes, But,"has become one of the internet's most distinctive comic concepts, using simple, wordless illustrations to expose the contradictions and double standards woven into everyday life. Each comic places two seemingly ordinary situations side by side, inviting viewers to spot the inconsistencies for themselves.
Gudim's minimalist style leaves plenty of room for interpretation, which is part of what makes the series so engaging. Whether he's highlighting the irony of technology, consumer culture, social media, work, or everyday habits, the humor comes from recognizing behaviors and contradictions that often go unnoticed until they're placed side by side.
Scroll down to enjoy his latest series, and don't forget to let us know which contradiction you found the most relatable.

Still seems like an okayish time to me! Long as there’s no bed bugs, an old and torn holiday shack seems fine for being able to stay directly on the sand.

Yelling never helps kids or employees! Before I became a chaplain I was a Senior HR officer in construction. I demanded employees be treated with dignity by office and line supervisors even in cases of mistakes. It took a bit to retrain those willing to learn to manage using dignity (and to axe those who refused). Our accidents, incidents, absenteeism, turnover all shot down and our productivity and retention skyrocketed. (Caution: I had to negotiate it up front before taking the job as most CEO's are/were the source of the problem. Penalty clause kept the CEO away from me long enough to prove it works.) Was in the first batch of companies to receive workplace literacy grant and build daycare/eldercare coalitions with other employers. I know this sounds like bragging but I'll take that risk to put this out there. It forced our competitors to make changes also. Dignity is a significant casualty of greed.

A shirt does not force you to sit through three multiple minute ads every few seconds. Unskippable ads.

It's habitual, so much so that it's practically instinct after a while XD

I don't wear makeup, but I've never been given a second glance. Men don't want non-makeuped women, they just don't wanna feel lied to. Men, you need to understand that most women wear it so they feel more confident in themselves. Once they show you their true faces, they're being highly vulnerable with you. If all you want is beauty, it's never gonna work. Work on yourselves first.

Well, what else is there to do if you’re on a long flight or got a bad bladder?

Many years ago, I had planned to meet up with friends in a pub to watch one of Prince Nazeem Ahmed's televised fights. The fight was due to begin at 8pm. I was running late and walked into the pub at 8.01pm, just in time to see Ahmed strutting around the ring after knocking out his opponent 53 seconds into round one!

Jesus, most of these are utterly pointless...the artist has started comparing apples to large, uneven bricks, and calling it deep.

Anton really needs to find another hobby. I only looked at the list to see how bad they are now, and fùùùùck!
