Here’s How to Get One from Krispy Kreme Some parents do baby books; new dad Jonathan Jui does cartoons. The London-based cartoonist has an Instagram account, #JonaJooey, in which he captures all of of his most memorable parenting moments with his son via one-panel comics. “Within 24 hours of becoming a dad, my brain was ready to explode from all the new, funny and frustrating things that were going on in our lives,” Jui told the HuffPost. “It was all just going by so fast and of course I am never able to get a photo while in the trenches of parenting, and I didn’t quite have the energy to write a journal entry that would do a memory justice … so a cartoon felt like the right medium.” And, the posts are spot-on.

And, no doubt, every parent of a toddler can relate to some of this stuff.

Uh, on the potty. https://www.instagram.com/p/BQYV-JxF-GH/?taken-by=jonajooey Jui also has a website, Baba’s Field Notes, in which he posts his cartoons as well as letters to his son.
