About the Artist: John Deering
John Deering is the sly genius behind Strange Brew, a syndicated cartoon series known for its left-field logic and visual absurdity. With decades of experience in editorial cartooning and comic art, Deering has been a staple in American humor since the ’80s. His work often blends pop culture with classic irony, delivering punchlines that resonate across generations.
#1 Alfred, This Explains A Lot.
A brooding Batman in a medical exam room? Say no more. The diagnosis of rabies suddenly puts all of his behavior into context. Deering hilariously bridges superhero tropes with mundane reality, and the result is dark, dry, and brilliant.
#2 Surprise Guest on the Talk Show.
Captain Ahab’s worst nightmare just became the surprise guest. The twist? Moby Dick’s got a seat on the couch. This comic wins big on visual humor and classic literature spoofing—two things that shouldn’t mix, but do here, perfectly.
#3 Fly TV Is Just Trash.
A fly watches “The Garbage Channel” and critiques it as “redundant.” That one line flips the whole cartoon from silly to satirical. This is peak observational humor from a literal fly-on-the-wall.
#4 Witch Logic Fail.
At a funeral for a melted witch, the attendees wonder why she ever kept a bucket of water nearby. The humor is subtle and retrofitted into classic fairytale logic, and that’s exactly why it works.
#5 The Steak Saber.
Darth Vader’s family has taken their obsession a step too far—ordering steak knives shaped like lightsabers from a Jedi infomercial. This one’s a galactic-level roast of fanboy consumerism.
#6 Frog King of Instagram.
Meet the frog king who reigns over a social media swamp. Even if kissed, he’d still stay the same shallow dude. It’s a clever jab at online influencers disguised as fairy tale humor.
#7 Commemorative Day-of-the-Week Plates.
What’s more ridiculous than limited-edition collectibles? How about plates honoring days of the week? This comic skewers both consumer gullibility and QVC-style marketing with perfect absurdity.
#8 Dog Bar Etiquette.
In a bar full of dogs, someone’s rookie mistake is ordering shots for the house. Cue the chaos. The cartoon uses simple setup and canine logic to hilarious effect.
#9 Putting on the Vader Face.
Darth Vader, unmasked and weary, sighs about having to “put his face on” before heading to the Death Star. It’s surprisingly humanizing—and very memeable—for a Sith Lord.
#10 Claw Machine Existentialism.
A toy in a claw machine waxes philosophical about life, the universe, and pizza. Deering manages to stuff metaphysics into a vending machine scenario, and somehow, it’s beautiful.
#11 Wrong Support Group, Buddy.
A farmer shows up at the wrong meeting—“Parents Without Partners” instead of “Square Dancers Without Partners.” The punchline lands like a sitcom zinger. Awkward, adorable, and timeless.
#12 Five-Second Surgery Rule.
A kidney falls to the floor during surgery. The scrub nurse asks if the five-second rule applies. It’s medical malpractice meets playground logic, and it’s hilariously gross.
#13 Modern Courtroom Art Fails.
A courtroom artist is scolded for favoring abstract splashes over realism. The satire hits modern art trends with a legal twist. Perfect for anyone who’s rolled their eyes in a gallery.
#14 Santa’s Mask Mandate.
Santa’s naughty-or-nice list has been simplified to “mask” and “no mask.” It’s a perfect pandemic-era gag that brings levity to a very 2020 situation.
#15 The Last Hurrah.
At the museum, one exhibit literally displays “The Last Hurrah.” It’s a visual pun that requires zero explanation and lands with a delightful thud.
#16 Death and Delay.
Death can’t find his way around a hospital thanks to a complex maze directory. Mr. Bernwall just got 20 bonus minutes. Grim and funny, this one’s dark comedy at its best.
#17 Bird Feeder Crime Scene.
A masked squirrel hides from the law after robbing a bird feeder. It’s a backyard crime drama wrapped in acorn-level absurdity. Someone call Animal Control!
#18 Zombie Dating Misfire.
She thinks he respects her mind. He’s a zombie admiring her brains. The thought bubbles make this one a layered gag with perfect timing.
#19 Political Brain Power.
Frankenstein’s scientist is disappointed to learn the brain came from a politician. Cue the groans—and laughs. A jab at politics wrapped in monster movie vibes.
#20 Mystery Meat Transplant.
A surgeon confuses liver transplant with missing meatloaf. That punchline packs medical absurdity, office lunch drama, and a healthy dose of cringe all into one panel.
Final Thoughts
These 20 Viral Humor Comics prove that a single panel can pack in satire, absurdity, and pop culture references that stick. From talking flies to moody Darth Vaders, Deering’s world is one where logic is optional—but laughs are guaranteed.
