For many Bored Panda readers, Anton Gudim needs little introduction. His instantly recognizable series, "Yes, But,"has become one of the internet's most distinctive comic concepts, using simple, wordless illustrations to expose the contradictions and double standards woven into everyday life. Each comic places two seemingly ordinary situations side by side, inviting viewers to spot the inconsistencies for themselves.
Gudim's minimalist style leaves plenty of room for interpretation, which is part of what makes the series so engaging. Whether he's highlighting the irony of technology, consumer culture, social media, work, or everyday habits, the humor comes from recognizing behaviors and contradictions that often go unnoticed until they're placed side by side.
Scroll down to enjoy his latest series, and don't forget to let us know which contradiction you found the most relatable.

Still seems like an okayish time to me! Long as there’s no bed bugs, an old and torn holiday shack seems fine for being able to stay directly on the sand.
I never understood getting angry/yelling at kids who don't understand something. How will that help?? One time, my father made my twin brother and I learn our French vocabulary (actually just my twin brother's since we were not classmates, but I got roped in). It had one column in German and one in French. He started off by telling us the German words and we wrote down the French ones. We both got all correct, so we thought that we were done. Nope. My father wanted us to do the inverse as well. We ended up doing it and then my father got upset since we had apparently both made mistakes. Instead of telling us, he made us redo it. And again. And again. And again. We started around 8PM and at midnight we were still there. Both my brother and I were crying and for years the smell of my ballpoint pen on the paper made me feel nauseous. What were our mistakes? We used synonyms for some of the German words since we hadn't actually studied them
I never experienced this...which / what apps in particular are we talking about? 🤷🏽
what kind of magic, abracadabra-you-are-no-longer-nearsighted eye drops are these?
My husband uses his pullup bar to hang a few clothing items on, but that doesn't stop him from using it
A shirt does not force you to sit through three multiple minute ads every few seconds. Unskippable ads.
Well, what else is there to do if you’re on a long flight or got a bad bladder?
safer, cheaper and better for the environment than the real thing
I didn't know it was law you had to put a hat on right after styling your hair. I wear my hat so I don't have to.
I don't wear makeup, but I've never been given a second glance. Men don't want non-makeuped women, they just don't wanna feel lied to. Men, you need to understand that most women wear it so they feel more confident in themselves. Once they show you their true faces, they're being highly vulnerable with you. If all you want is beauty, it's never gonna work. Work on yourselves first.
It's habitual, so much so that it's practically instinct after a while XD
Many years ago, I had planned to meet up with friends in a pub to watch one of Prince Nazeem Ahmed's televised fights. The fight was due to begin at 8pm. I was running late and walked into the pub at 8.01pm, just in time to see Ahmed strutting around the ring after knocking out his opponent 53 seconds into round one!
Jesus, most of these are utterly pointless...the artist has started comparing apples to large, uneven bricks, and calling it deep.
Anton really needs to find another hobby. I only looked at the list to see how bad they are now, and fùùùùck!
