Maya enjoying everyday life gives Yehuda all the inspiration he needs to create his cute, charming, hilarious and often relatable comics. They chronicle their relationship, from the silly to the mundane and beyond. Determined to share the joyful and challenging parts of their life together, Yehuda recently documented their journey to getting pregnant.
