#1 Lost Without GPS, Even Indoors.

You know you’re tech-dependent when you need a GPS to find your way around your Airbnb. This cartoon nails the modern travel struggle in a way that feels a little too familiar. With just one panel, Stahler captures the disoriented feeling of entering any rental home and immediately losing all sense of direction—because honestly, who hasn’t wandered into the wrong bathroom?
#2 Your Body’s Check Engine Light.

Who needs a physical when your body’s sending dashboard-style alerts? This comic hilariously equates aging to car maintenance, and the metaphor couldn’t be more perfect. It’s an absurdly relatable take on feeling like you’re slowly breaking down, one mysterious ache at a time.
#3 Coffee That’s Finally Drinkable.

This one hits hard for those of us who forget about our coffee until it’s gone cold. The line “I bought this coffee yesterday…” is both hilarious and uncomfortably true. It’s a caffeine lover’s struggle summed up in one perfectly timed punchline.
#4 Trump, Tariffs, and Board Games.

Stahler brings political humor to the tabletop with this clever twist on a classic game. Replacing Clue’s suspects and weapons with politicians and economic policy? Genius. It’s a light jab at current events that doesn’t feel heavy-handed—and it’s hilariously unexpected.
#5 Just Tap, Swipe, or Slap It.

This comic beautifully illustrates the ever-evolving chaos that is modern technology. The cashier’s directions sound more like a dance routine than a payment method. “Just wave, tap, swipe, drum, clap or slap”—Stahler turns a daily annoyance into pure comedic gold.
#6 Fluent in Talkbackish.

Teenage sarcasm is officially its own language. If you’ve ever had a conversation with a teen and walked away feeling confused and slightly roasted, this cartoon will hit home. The phrase “talkbackish” is instantly iconic and deserves a dictionary entry.
#7 The Ultimate Health Screening Question.

This cartoon spirals from medical questions into social commentary in the most unexpected way. The final question about Trump is a brilliant curveball, making you laugh while also thinking, “Wait… is that part of my wellness check now?”
#8 A House with a Mud Room Upgrade.

Kids = mess. And if you have more than one? You’re going to need infrastructure. This cartoon plays on real estate priorities in a way that every parent can chuckle at. It’s a playful jab at the chaos kids bring into a home—especially on muddy days.
#9 Lifting Weight… Technically.

This one’s for the dads who proudly claim their “gains” come from everyday movement. It’s the kind of sly humor that pokes fun at middle-aged bravado without being mean. The clever twist on “lifting weight” makes it a fitness joke anyone can enjoy.
#10 Siri’s Grandma on the Line.

If you’ve ever had to explain tech to a grandparent, this cartoon will make you laugh and cry at the same time. The idea of Siri having a grandma—and her being on the phone—is a wonderfully ridiculous yet spot-on gag.
#11 Mommy’s Busy—With Strangers Online.

Stahler nails the awkward reality of screen addiction in this comic. The child’s innocence contrasted with the mom’s brutal honesty is equal parts funny and cringeworthy. Parenting in the digital age has never looked so hilariously dark.
#12 Taking Other People’s Selfies.

This comic takes a swipe at the “selfie generation” from the perspective of someone hilariously out of touch. The mom’s version of a selfie is snapping pics of her kids. Old-fashioned? Sure. Adorably misguided? Absolutely.
#13 Ibuprofen and Romance.

Gardening-induced pain becomes a sweet moment of bonding in this cartoon. The line “Let’s wait for the ibuprofen to kick in together” is peak couple goals—for anyone over 30, at least. It’s oddly romantic and ridiculously real.
#14 Summer Body or Winter Denial?

This panel is for every person who’s stood in front of a mirror thinking, “Yup, same body, new weather.” It’s a brutally honest take on body image expectations—with that signature Stahler sting of truth.
#15 Too Cheap for a Real Doctor.

Google diagnosing is a national sport now. This comic cuts deep into our tendency to self-diagnose using the internet, with a hilarious roast about our wallet-based medical choices. WebMD should just feature this cartoon on their homepage.
#16 Rolling the Joints Wrong.

One of Stahler’s cheekiest jokes yet, this comic doubles down on wordplay and stoner humor. The line “rolling them too tight” hits just right, blending medical complaints with comedic misdirection in perfect harmony.
#17 Redefining All-Nighters.

Aging brings new milestones—and staying asleep is one of them. This cartoon is a perfect example of how Stahler blends life’s harsh truths with sharp humor. “Not having to pee” being a win? That’s peak grown-up goals.
#18 Party Line = Social Media.

Old-school nostalgia meets Gen Z confusion in this comic. Grandma’s idea of “social media” being the neighborhood phone line is a sweet and clever gag that crosses generations in one hilarious line.
#19 So What, Graduation.

Remember your preschool graduation? Yeah, neither do your parents. This comic pokes fun at the ever-inflating sense of ceremony for kids, with the classic “so what” attitude that keeps the humor grounded.
#20 Winning Arguments—In the Shower.

We all do it—rehearse and win imaginary arguments while shampooing. This comic captures the one place we always win: in the shower, where our opponents can’t argue back. It’s funny, sad, and totally spot-on.
