Not even a year has passed, and Russian artist Anton Gudim is back on Bored Panda! In today's article, we want to share more of his sarcastic comics from the "YES, BUT" series. Anton is a master of absurdity, irony, and dark humor. His illustrations perfectly capture the ridiculousness of modern society and make fun of something that we have accepted as normal.

Anton Gudim is mostly known for the quirky short paneled comics he shares on Instagram, which now has more than 1 million followers. His newest project "YES, BUT" is similar in the topics, but is different in style, because here, unlike in his other works, Anton posts only two-panel comics. But don't get yourselves tricked! Even though they are shorter, these comics are no less influential. The illustrations touch on topics such as consumerism, people's behavior, ecology and many more. Through the prism of humor and irony, that's how Anton portrays modern society.

And when I deliberately give them a box they don't f****n use it! Once had a large cat who preferred small boxes. He wouldn't be bothered unless it was a challenge to get into. He'd look like a muffin.

That's so true! I used to have a horrible box almost destroyed that my cat started to use to sleep inside! I decided to take a proper box for him put inside a small pillow and a blanket! He never used it! He wanted the destroyed one🤷‍♀️

Same can be true of large, expensive, and usually complicated children toys. I had a niece whose grandparents (on the other side, not my parents) were wealthy, and would buy her things like the entire fully stocked child-size kitchen set, which she never used, but she had an incredible amount of fun playing with—-and using her imagination to change the use of—-the big box it came in. It started as a make believe car, then a turtle shell where she was the turtle inside, then a pushcart for the dog, a great hide and seek hiding option, plus a few other incarnations, until finally she broke it down and cut it up (with the standard safety scissors, of course) to make a little town out of the cardboard, tape, and crayons. She played with that until it finally all fell apart. All while the fancy and expensive little kitchen set gathered dust.

My mother has a cat in her small business as a mascot and they get him the coziest beds, yet it preferes to sleep on dirty towels or the table sometimes, I guess cats do it on purpose.

Anton Gudim has been drawing for as long as he can remember. However, his profession has nothing or little to do with art. The artist graduated from a technical university since he had a talent when it came to mathematics and began working as an engineer. Throughout his career, Anton changed a few jobs, but he felt that something was missing. It was then that he realized that he would like to return to drawing, but "with a more formed worldview.”

    Use lengthy customized pass-phrases that you can remember, not weird passwords. The longer the pass-phrase, the exponentially more difficult it is to crack. Or license a password manager, like 1Password.

    Use a password manager, seriously. Every one of your passwords should be unique, don't write them down. I personally use LastPass. (I develop websites for a living, seen lots of "abcd1234")

    I have a really simple process for passwords. 1. Generate a password based on the site's name, purpose, location, etc. Something you will remember. E.g. say you want a password for facebook. Start with something like "Zuck is a robot". Include spaces. 2. Shove it through an encryption algorithm like RSA, MD5, etc. 3. Copy paste that result into a password manager. Done. Advantage: even if your password manager dies (hello 1password I am looking at you), the password is easy to remember, all you have to do is remember what the word was, and what encryption you used.

    So this one is true even before smartphones. My father in law used to show me his travel photos of the various exotic places he went and they mostly consisted of him standing in front of a shop front or monument where he occupied most of the frame. Without an explanation from him as to where the photo was taken I would not have been able to tell where the photo was taken. Yet, he had the cheek to criticise my travel photos which mostly showed architectural sights or museum relics. He was baffled why I wasn't in the photo. I said because I was more interested to remember what i saw than what I looked like on that day.

    Lidl recently changed the bags in my country into the bioplastic ones! I usually take with me the fabric ones and never use those but when i forget i have to take! I don't understand how these are better honestly! As i understand they disappear faster from the planet but the fast is too fast! I didn't manage to get to my house 5 min walk away without the bag being ripped apart! You have to take a lot more which i find worse than having a proper one! What's the point to make something plastic that gets destroyed in 3 seconds? Can't even use it as a trash bag afterwards

    Not to mention the fact that you have to use that cotton bag as your only shopping bag for practically the rest of your life to offset the carbon foot print of producing that bag. From the farmer buying the seeds for the cotton to the shipping of the finished product to the consumer and EVERYTHING in between. Think about it - it's mind boggling.

    We got curious whether Anton feels the need to return to his works after some time in order to improve them. The artist shared that he tries not to devote too much time to each work (we are talking about several days of revisions) because after finishing one work, his mind is freed up for a new idea - and this is the main engine of his creative process.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Sometimes I return to my works 3-4 years ago and slightly correct them. My drawing skills are getting better, but for some time some ideas remain relevant, so I want to refine some ideas in terms of presentation, to show that I can do better. However, some figures do not require revision after years."

    In Italy, they use solar energy (also known as clothes lines) to dry their laundry. They don't seem to mind if all their neighbors and passersby find out that they wash their clothes.

    When I was a kid in the late 60s, our community pool made females wear bathing caps, no matter how long or short their hair was. Boys and men did not, in spite of some of them having hair down to their shoulders.

    It's not just a concern of eating fish in general, the main issue with this is the absolute havoc overfishing does to aquatic environments, fresh or salt water.

    All those instruments but using fake programs to make music. Where's the feeling?!!! Edit: I was joking along the lines of "once more with feeling" I've used programs to compose really awesome stuff but also actual instruments. Summer night jam sessions wouldn't be the same with a program.

    In my limited experience making music on my computer, the feeling is totally still there. Just instead of going directly into individual notes it goes into the overall design of the song. For me figuring out melodies on the computer is the same feeling as figuring them out on piano, and playing it back is the same feeling as hearing what you're playing live.

    I'd work on a recording studio for some years. For the price we charged the digital solutions solved a lot of issues and made a lot dreams come true. But real recordings with real instruments always will be more rewarding for everyone involved.

    This one is aimed to show that you don't care about speeding only when you need to get somewhere (Hey driver, want some extra buck for fast ride?). But at other time "hey jerk, I'm walking here"

    Lol I see it as that the cab and person are going the same speed due to probably traffic so why shouldn’t the guy just walk. It’s probably more of a New York reference for taking cabs that move at a snails pace in the busy congested city. Moral is walk for health for yourself and planet lol.

    I don't feel he's ashamed, it's the contrast between the colorful hair and the sadness he's feeling at the same time. Kind of "don't judge a book by its cover".

    Several of these don't make a lot of sense. Feels like they were trying to hit a quota. Dude wears rainbow hair, but then goes to funeral conformed to an all black attire... Yes, some traditions don't need revamping. It's a sombre moment. And he shouldn't avoid having fun hair because someone might die.

Seems like you're implying he only dyed it for the funeral. BS. I had not this colorful but very much colored hair for a long time. This is not for the occasion
