Honesty can be very very brutal. Especially when it comes from Mexico City-born illustrator - Eduardo Salles. This guy works to bring out the brutal truth about the social issues of our modern lives in his funny drawings, and he does so with a smart ass touch!

Translated from Spanish to English by Bored Panda, these cartoon drawings are not only utterly cynical and sprinkled with dark humor, but also completely relatable! From the reality of dieting to the reality of texting to the reality of free wifi - Eduardo gives a very on-point social commentary with all of his cool drawings. Check them out below and let us know what you think!

    I don't get it about not eating eggs because they just lay them all the time even more then you think when you live with them. I am NOT vegan but, I strongly disagree that vegans and vegetarians that eat eggs, and milk products are crazy. However vegetarians are likely unaware that cows have to be impregnated to produce milk.

    what is the big deal about someone making a poignant statement about your religion. If your belief is strong enough it should be able to withstand someone questioning it without getting all worked up about it. In the end... it is not sacred to an athiest and it is nothing more than his or her opinion.

    Actually, this one is highly inaccurate. Because the CORE of the Bible is still the morals and ethics that form the basis of the laws and social ethics that all of us consider crucial. Starting from the notions that murdering innocent people is wrong, or that stealing things that don't belong to you is unacceptable most of the time....all the way to ideas such as learning to accept those who are different from us (Love your neighbor as yourself), or to move past prior injuries and disagreements (Turn the other cheek). Whether we like to admit it or not, most of us still find the core values of the Bible still relevant and meaningful, even if we disagree with one or two of their biblical era applications.

    These values are found in many non-Christian societies world-wide. They stem from our evolutionary need to cohabit in a society in order to survive. Sure, the Bible is a primitve fictional expression of these values. But it is only that.

    I was about ten when I found out that love or rather marriages don't last for ever when I saw a former next door neighbour with his second wife and that's when I found out that divorce existed. Before then I thought people were married for life or would only remarry if their spouse had died. I told my mother I thought it was sad and she shrugged it off. I didn't realise that many married people were unhappy and would love to divorce if it wasn't for the children.

    When I started posting comments and photos from the heart on Facebook people started 'liking' my posts more but at the same time I was offending other Facebook friends who would then unfriend me or even block me. For the first two years I was on Facebook people ignored me as my posts were so boring and then I became controversial.

    That's me in the city centre as everybody else is connecting to the street wi-fi and I only have a 3G phone. I have to go into the library or the museum to get a connection from their wi-fi.

    Okay. This one is exaggerated. I work with kids, and granted they still are the running wild little pests that they always used to be.

    Umm Las Vegas couldn't be any further inland! It's existence is based completely on the Hoover Dam and the inexpensive electricity it provides.

    If Rapunzel were a real human with a need to interact, being holed up in a tower like that would send her into a suicidal depression (so she jumped and hung herself by her hair). Basically saying that people generally don't respond well to isolation, and probably a comment on how unrealistic fairy tales really are.
