Every Parent’s Everyday Battles Perfectly Illustrated In These Funny One-Panel Comics (25 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

Mariano Velasco, an artist from Colorado, has a talent for turning the chaos of parenting into a series of laughably relatable comics that families everywhere can see themselves in. His journey began as a simple effort to promote his children’s book but quickly evolved into a beloved daily ritual, capturing the hilarity of everyday life with kids.

When asked about his comics, Mariano told Bored Panda, "I started doing them to promote my children’s book, then after doing them everyday for a week I decided to keep doing them daily. They are mostly inspired by funny things my children do."

Mostly because my dog (or my cats) treat me way better than way too many of the humans I've run into in my life. Humans have hurt me intentionally and undeservedly for nothing more than shits and giggles. Animals have never hurt me, unless I deserved it (trying to roughhouse playing with an animal as a stupid kid). So yes, I will treat all animals way WAY better than I would treat a good number of the humans I’ve been around.

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
