Over time, Anton Gudim has proven to us that we constantly find a way to contradict ourselves in everyday situations. Through his renowned comic series, YES, BUT, he invites us to explore the world around us in a new way. The more you look the more you are able to notice how people in our surroundings or situations contradict themselves.

This time we decided to collect all of Anton's comics that are pet-related. From cats to dogs to bunnies, our beloved four-legged friends have also made a cut in Anton's comics, showcasing instances where they are also guilty of contradicting behavior. 

So without further ado, we invite you to take a look at our selection below. And if you would like to see more of Gudim's comics on Bored Panda, feel free to check them out here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

I know I’ve mentioned it before to you beautiful pandas, but I lost my fiancé last year. All I can say is, please take the second option if you’re privileged to do so. The only happiness I take out of this revolting experience is that we always cuddled each other and our dogs. We had four (yes, four) arguments in our entire relationship, and never went a day without telling each how much we loved our life. Gross, yes. Sweet, also yes. The memory of which gets me up in the morning…yep. Peace and love. xxx

"encatted" a friend came up with the name, and it works perfectly. It's a regular excuse at out place, "sorry I can't get up, I'm encatted". I could be spelling it wrong.

Yeah, I wouldn't burn down my house just because a cat was asleep on my lap. I mean, get real!

Anton and his comics are well known to the Bored Panda community. He is always very kind in taking his time to answer all sorts of questions that we have for him. In a previous interview, we were curious to know more about the ‘behind-the-scenes’ of his creative works. He shared his process: "I’m always observing the world around me, taking note of interesting or paradoxical situations that I encounter. These observations often serve as the basis for my comics. As for my work environment, I can create pretty much anywhere as long as it's peaceful and I have the mental space to focus."

RELATED:

    This time we reached out to Anton once again, since we were curious to learn his perspective about the animal comics in particular. We asked Anton to share if he has a favorite comic regarding this topic. He responded: “Yes, of course. My favorites are a cat and a box (this is a classic story that is hundreds of years old, but which I constantly observe in my parents' house, where my beloved cat lives), a dog and slippers (this is what I literally see every day, being the owner of two dogs), riding an elephant (unfortunately, this is a real problem worth talking about: the exploitation of animals to please tourists).”

    We surely know that people are just walking contradictions, but do you think that animals are also guilty of contradictory behavior, or is it a human trait only? Anton took the liberty to share his point of view when answering this question: “I think that in the animal world, there is no such thing as a contradiction. They live as naturally as possible and absolutely do not worry about who interprets their behavior and how. We can only transfer their decisions to the human world and interpret them in our own way. And find contradictions, of course.”

    And lastly, Anton wanted to send you a message: “I would like to wish the readers a good day, and less negativity in the comments, because I read this, and it upsets me.”So, dear Pandas, this is a great reminder that words can cut sharper than a knife, so just be mindful when leaving a comment since there will be someone on the other end reading it.

    Why do animals like to drink the run-off water from, say, a plant's holder with water in it, water that's dirty now, mind you? Always been curious about this.

    Animal testing is horrifying and involves poking, scraping, putting things in their eyes, keeping them in small cages only to euthanize them when they're no longer useful. It's cruel and unnecessary for most consumer products.

    It’s often not the dogs fault they have probably been trained to attack or have been abused by humans

    Okay, this one isn’t fair. If we’re supposed to feel guilty what exactly are we supposed to eat? I imagine, well I hope rabbits are not starving. This takes a thoughtful kind concept like veganism and pushes it too far. Idk, maybe rabbits are becoming an endangered species and I’m not aware.
