Life often looks much simpler in our heads than it does once reality gets involved. We make plans, buy things designed to make life easier, try to build healthier habits, and imagine how certain moments will play out, only to discover that there is usually a “but” waiting somewhere. That gap between expectation and reality is exactly where Anton Gudim finds the humor for his popular “Yes, But” comics. Using two contrasting images and almost no words, the artist turns familiar situations into clever visual observations about modern life. We've featured Gudim's work many times before, and his ability to spot these everyday contradictions still provides plenty of material.
In this new selection, Gudim takes aim at everything from technology and social media to exercise, work, entertainment, and the little contradictions hidden in our everyday choices. Technology provides especially fertile ground for these contradictions. Devices promise convenience and simplicity, yet they often introduce entirely new problems. Gudim captures that irony particularly well, showing how the tools designed to improve our lives can sometimes complicate them in ways we never anticipated. Gudim doesn't need lengthy setups or complicated dialogue. The first image establishes an idea, while the second adds the small detail that changes everything. The result is humor that readers can understand almost instantly, and often recognize from their own lives.

In a recording studio. they spent $10,000 on a mixing console, $2000 on a microphone, $2000 on a computer, $500 on software to record the music, $2000 for a super clear amplifier with minimal distortion, $3000 for studio monitor speakers, $200 per hour for the recording engineer. And humans listen to the final product through earbuds from a device that has only 30 milliwatts of power.

this guy needs to stop now, and BP stop posting his stuff, more than half are either confusing, or just so specific that it applies to a very very limited number of people.
I haven't a clue what half of these are saying, other than sometimes you need more than "Yes, but" to convey a point adequately.
I didn’t get half of these. The other half…. Well he used to do really clever funny ones. Now?
