These Comics Perfectly Capture How Relationships Evolve Over Time

Relationships tend to follow a certain pattern: In the beginning, you're preoccupied with things like what to wear and what to eat. Fast forward a year or so later and it's all burritos and hogging the sheets.
Brooklyn-based cartoonist Sarah C. Andersen captures both stages of relationships in quirky comics inspired by her boyfriend of over two years.
"Writing about relationships is very easy for me because I just write about my own," Andersen told The Huffington Post.
Andersen graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014. She recently published her first book of illustrations titled " Adulthood Is A Myth."
Andersen's personal favorite comic in the series is one featuring the girlfriend eating a salad on the first date and then scarfing down a burrito in three bites just a couples of dates down the line.
"I always get such bad nerves about eating in front of a new date," Andersen said. "It kills me that dinner dates are standard because eating when you're nervous is so awkward. One of my favorite parts of a relationship is getting to the comfort level where I'm no longer self conscious, and then I ultimately reveal my true self as someone who loves to devour food -- specifically, burritos."
