Gudim shared that drawing wasn't his main job for a long time. He went to a technical university because he was good at math, which is why his drawings might seem very precise and not very emotional.
After graduating, Gudim worked as an engineer, changed jobs, and improved in his career. However, he often felt bored and unsatisfied with his life. That's when he realized he wanted to go back to the hobbies he enjoyed as a child but with "a more mature perspective".
Gudim told us that he created "Yes, But" in 2016. It was inspired by thinking about how people handle conflicting things in their lives. "In fact, this format is the destruction of expectations, that is, a fairly standard humorous technique, but the signature 'yes, but' brings all disparate situations under one 'template,' showing how comprehensive it can be."
Constantly observing the world, Gudim notes intriguing or paradoxical moments that become the inspiration for his comics. Regarding his creative space, the artist told us that he finds peace in any calm environment where he can delve into his thoughts and ideas.
Dang. I have not given my phone camera lense much thought at all. My computer cameras lenses are covered.
Some people really don't want to take care of anything, it's selfish.
As a person who always sits with her foot up, this was always my favorite seat of the bus.
I don’t get it? Is it covering the size? Because usually it’s printed on the label as well?
So people who live in apartments should wear wet clothes?
They wear "brand" clothing, yet look at their homes.
Load More Replies...This one feels a bit judgmental depending on how you interpret it.
It's 100% judgemental. The idea that the "poors" aren't permitted to have any nice things has been used as an excuse for prejudice for too long now.
Load More Replies...ive heard many people who complain about being poor, have all of the most expensive watches, phones, tvs, and clothing, then cant afford food and their house is gross and tiny, if it's thrifted and stuff and you literally cant afford it due to real problems, then it's understandable, but when you have a paying job and spend it on stupid things then complain about being broke, it's just annoying
Tbf, you can save up for a Guggi shirt for months, rent you have to pay every month. Also I think you can pay some of them in installments. I don't like it when people judge poor people for having some fancy stuff. Poverty is a systematic issue and for many escaping it is almost impossible and definitely not by saying t-shirt money.
If a shirt in the Guggi price range only last for months and not years, they are way too expensive
Load More Replies...So many of the commenters missed the point. And the one person that explained it correctly got chewed out. Priorities is what this comic is about. They spend their money on designer clothing but live in a hovel.
We all have priorities. Some we choose and others are chosen for us
Took me a minute, the clothes on the line are high end brand name clothes BUT they are being hung to dry in impoverished neighborhood
I don’t get this one? He’s going to become a punk once he starts losing his hair??
Couldn't bother going through the whole list. Tedious and not in the least ironic, as usual.
Same. I find most of this stuff dull and judgemental.
Load More Replies...This stuff always really bugs me, and the ones from this artist in particular...I can't be the only one who doesn't find these insightful in the least
Why is everyone complaining, my god. Settle down, it's not that deep, jfc. 😂💀
Yes: Comic about societal issues .... But: You can't understand them.
I thought they were funny people are judgy and mean sometimes keep it up nice comic
