Parents know that there are some quite significant differences between having your first vs. second child and other children. From different approaches to pregnancy to slightly different ways the kids are raised once born. And these changes were beautifully illustrated by Weng Chen – an incredible artist, VR game designer, and a mom from China, currently living in the US.
Weng Chen was always close to the world of art. “When I was about 2, 3 years old, my mom drew me a little mermaid and told me the story,” she wrote on her website. “I was fascinated; it was like magic that the most beautiful picture came from my mom’s pen. I believe that was when I fell in love with drawing and storytelling.”
Now she focuses on drawing comics about her dreams and daily lives, raising her two daughters, Electra, the firstborn, and Ali, the second born, together with her husband. “Messycow comics were started with an impulse. I didn’t spend time designing anything; I just dove in and started drawing.” Her latest comics explain the differences between the firstborn and the second-born children, and the strips are hilarious. What do you think"
