Artist Illustrates What Living In A Polyamorous Relationship Looks Like

ADVERTISEMENT

You might think being polyamorous means endless dating and hot people all around. But with zero social skills, as the cartoonist Sara Valta describes her introverted personality, getting a girlfriend is still way too hard. In her comics, she’s trying to get her partners to do the heavy lifting for her, but with very little luck.

Sara Valta is a Finnish cartoonist who started her webcomics journey from her fantasy webcomic Alchemilla, and now she’s posting funny polyamory-related strips on her Instagram and Twitter. She also has a Patreon page dedicated to her NSFW fantasy comics.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

I really enjoyed reading this. However, printing a white font on a very pale beige background makes it difficult (actually impossible) for me to read those parts! Probably just my cataract surgeries last month, but maybe make things a little darker next time?

Awe these are really cute and also informative! If you want more poly comics I recommend "boyfriends." on Webtoon! It's really cute as well. I'm not personally poly but I think it's good that people are willing to expose others to different kinds of relationships in ways that aren't fetishizing or sexualizing them.

I always wondered why a relationship had to limit to TWO person and everyone else as enemies. and that they assume one of them as the absolute possession of the other. we are human and we have the capabilities to love a lot of people at one time, why would a romantic love be so limited? I always thought I didn't get it because I am Aro (I do not experience romantic attraction) and thus I would not get it. and then I found out that polyam people exists.
