We lied in the title. These cartoons are actually not funny, they’re terrifying. There are three people working on the series. Luke Kingma (concept, copy, art direction), Lou Patrick Mackay (illustration), and Jacob Banas (social media). The result of their team effort can be seen on the Instagram account @FuturismCartoons where you can check out their vision of the everyday life of tomorrow. You can also get a printed book on Amazon which is kinda ironic because they’re making fun of Amazon and Jeff Bezos in their cartoons. Anyways… please scroll down to check out our favorites!
In Luke Kingma’s own words, “In a broad sense, we are exploring humanity’s relationship with technology, both now and in the future. Part of that is giving people a glimpse of what tomorrow could look like at a personal level: the good, the bad, the absurd. Occasionally, we like to comment on science fiction culture, and on political matters, because we just can’t help ourselves. In many cases, we are looking at emerging technologies that are still in development, and asking, “What might happen next?” Other times, we are taking something we find interesting or funny about humans, and asking, “How would this play out with robots?””

….it won’t end up that well and opens up her bomb shelter.
Meh….
That was depressing, and I certainly do not want to know my cat’s inner thoughts.
A nuclear cataclysm will preempt all of this quite nicely.
The greatest thing about being a pessimist is that you can never really be disappointed, but there is an outside chance that one day you may be pleasantly surprised. Not holding my breath though.
Bleak.
