You've likely seen his art shared on social media.

Yehuda Devir is a Tel-Aviv artist who illustrates his life with his partner Maya Devir in a comic series called One of Those Days.


The relatable comic series shows the joys and pitfalls of a relationship and how the couple love and appreciate each other.

Now they're taking a new step with pregnancy.

The Devirs announced publicly they were trying for a child when earlier this year they posted this comic.



The couple have been together for nearly a decade. For a few years, the couple have been making the One of Those Days comics, showing slices of their life in an exaggerated form.

They continued with updates as they tried and failed to conceive.




It's been a difficult journey, but the Devirs have shown their humor throughout. While updates on their attempts have been regular, they haven't overshadowed their other life humor. But it was on the mind of regular readers of their comic.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Yehuda explained:

"We had been trying to conceive for about a year… The hardest parts were at the end of each month when Maya used to have her period. Continuously dealing with lack of success makes you feel as if you aren't in control of your life."
"However, we've been together for such a long time that our friendship and love seem so strong, it feels like we can achieve everything if we work together. Challenges make us stronger."

People chimed in relating or wishing the couple luck.

This relatable comic is about to get a little more relatable to people who're raising children.

But that will have to wait.

In the meantime, One of Those Days is taking a break through the rest of the holidays and will return in January 2019.

Nothing has more impact on our lives than the moments of adolescence.

Everything seems to be high stakes–especially in high school–where short-term goals like being popular and voted best-looking are the coveted status.

And when teens fall short of expectations, struggle with academics, and feel like breakups are the end of the world, they don't have the wisdom yet to know things eventually get better.

It's no wonder many successful TV series like 90210 feature teens. There's plenty of drama to entertain audiences who've either been there or are going through it themselves and find many of the plotlines are relatable.

But sometimes, there are plenty of unimaginable and horrific incidents that take place and are forever ingrained as part of the high school experience.

One would think we're in a place in time where all conversations should be easy.

But that is not the case.

So much is still too "taboo" to be truthful about.

It is so frustrating.

There is so much to discuss.

Being shy is understandable, but it's something that we can all get over.

As much as we might try to take care of our things, there are going to be instances where we lose things that we love.

Ironically, those lost things might be some of the most meaningful things we have in our lives.

There are several things that are appealing to hikers.

Being out in nature and taking in some fresh air is a huge motivation for people to get out of the house.

Getting exercise is also a factor to maintain a healthy heart.

But there could be one unexpected element to a hike that can happen hypothetically, and it's sure to raise your heartbeat.

Specifically, seeing something shocking along the hiking trail, like, say, a naked person could make for an exciting–or disturbing–hiking outing. It certainly doesn't get any more au natural than that.
