26 Awesome Comics Proving That Motherhood Is A Never-Ending Adventure, As Shared By An Artist Online
Many women online find her comedy to be relatable and relevant.
Some people think motherhood is all soft smiles and peaceful naps, and then reality shows up with a broken cup, cosmic-speed nail growth, and a baby who needs you every second. This is the kind of chaos Yulia Enslinger turns into comics, and once you see her panels, you cannot unsee how “everything seems better” can still be followed by “oh…no. Poor mom!”
Yulia balances being a mother with being an artist, and that juggling act is exactly what makes her cartoons hit so hard. One minute she’s laughing at weekend rest that only another mom would understand, the next she’s drawing how breastfeeding looks from the baby’s perspective, complete with the constant watchfulness that still never feels like enough. It’s her own day-to-day, plus the amusing scenarios other mothers swap with her on Instagram, all stitched into one never-ending adventure.
Here’s the full story, in comic form, starting with the moments that make moms laugh and panic at the same time.
