Let’s go to floor 96.
I hate when people joke about someone choking to death. It’s not funny, even in a dark cartoon.
lame humor for meh people
this makes me appreciate the good stuff
The magician one has a double meaning. I like it.
I like these, and he’s a good artist.
These are for a more mature person who has lived a full life and can appreciate the humor, like me.
Excellent!
i’ll stop you when you draw a funny one.
Some are funny, most are real groaners though. But it never goes past bottom of the barrel dad joke territory and there’s nothing bigoted and hateful in these that I could find, so I don’t really see why its a big deal
The kid in the ready set hate one looks like a classmate of mine ….
These are wonderfully brainy! How often have we all seen simple and amazing “cures” for real ailments on the net, referred to in “missed by top scientists and doctors”. So relatable! Instant absurdity hits the funny bone hard. Who would paint a landscape selfie!? Brevawittery.
Ha! Nice work, and apparently beyond comprehension for some of the simpler life forms… ;->
Not funny seeing a soldier blown in half,comedy not in good taste.

You should be even more upset about the “bench” comment. You completely missed what this was all about. The sacrifices of those of us who have served deserve more than a bench or statue and this panel totally captured that. And it is real! I saw the tanks and other vehicles after IEDs…they werent a pretty sight at all. It still haunts me to this day to think about what the service members must have looked like that were killed in them…speaking as a 31 yr 8 mos and 14 day veteran who bore witness at several ramp ceremonies when some of my soldiers’ remains were loaded onto Angel Flights in Kuwait.
lol the comedy in the soldier cartoon is that ppl happily build benches to commemorate the horrors of war while also happily whittle away at the very democracy those soldiers died to protect. o wait, i guess that’s not really comedy, is it.
