“When you grow up, you’ll understand,” is what our parents used to tell us when we were kids. So we grew up and realized that not everything was as simple as we’d thought. We’ll always have to choose between a tattoo and floor covering, Xboxes and vacuum cleaners, and going to parties and getting good sleep. And you probably know what your “responsible adult choice” would be.
At Bright Side, as adult people, we’ve experienced all these difficulties and we decided to reflect our everyday life in these funny but true-to-life comics. Don’t worry, everything isn’t that bad!
