Here are 30 charming comics that capture the essence of growing up and parenting in the 1980s, created by this artist.

Do you often think about your childhood? For many of us, those were definitely the most sentimental years, full of joy and simple things in life. Life seemed easy, and we could hardly imagine anything more straightforward. But as we grew older, we began to realize what our parents meant by telling us about the challenges of adulthood.

For some, like artist Tauhid Bondia, the past is something very dear that helps him in fueling his creative output. In a most intriguing series by Tauhid, ‘Crabgrass Comics,’ he describes the coming-of-age tales of a group of friends getting by in the 1980s. Many of his comic strips are imbued with that ‘real feel’ quality, which draws from experience.

Let’s take a little journey down memory lane and feel the nostalgia. Tauhid’s work is known to usher in funny situations with a surprise element that keeps readers on their toes. Check out his latest comics below and go through our interview with the brilliant mind behind the series.

Describing the elements he brings to key ingredients for humor in his series, Tauhid said, “I mostly get inspiration from my childhood. I love writing ‘Crabgrass’ because I take regular situations, like a school field trip, and then I tip them into absurdity. Like, what if the boys snuck into the caveman display and found a real caveman in there? That’s a whole different matter right there. That’s a whole different story arc. Once I get that initial idea, everything else falls into place really easily.

I need to understand my characters, and often I have to reject really good jokes if the joke doesn’t fit with a character’s personality. Take Miles, for example—he’s almost always the straight man, and that’s what readers expect from him. That’s what makes it really funny every time I break that mold and he becomes chaotic. I cannot do it too much because that would betray his character, but sometimes surprising the reader is necessary for the humor.

The cartoonist hopes that everybody reading his comics takes away a sense of joy. He believes in happiness, be it through nostalgia or by reflecting familiar aspects of themselves or others, or just enjoying a silly joke. He believed this to be an important role, but he does not consider it to be serious.
