New Cartoon Humor is here! Welcome to our lively comic/cartoon review—a deep dive into today’s freshest, quirkiest, and most laugh-out-loud comic strips that will brighten up any feed. If your daily scroll needs a boost of silly, offbeat, and cleverly human humor, this collection is the prescription you didn’t know you needed.
Meet the Artist: Leigh Rubin
Let’s give credit where it’s due: Leigh Rubin is the mastermind behind these brilliant cartoon moments. With a career spanning over three decades, Rubin has been tickling funny bones worldwide since the 1980s. His celebrated syndicated strip “Rubes” appears in hundreds of newspapers, and his work has earned him several awards for humor and creativity, including honors from the National Cartoonists Society. Rubin’s signature style is instantly recognizable: bold lines, bright colors, and a knack for finding the absurd in the everyday. His themes often blend wordplay, surreal situations, and sharp social observations—making New Cartoon Humor both fresh and timeless.
#1 Loose-Boweled Geese Sighting!
Is birdwatching ever safe? In this panel, a man shouts, “It’s a flock of rare loose-boweled geese!”—just before he’s forced to deploy an umbrella. It’s a classic example of Rubin’s blend of absurdity and slapstick. Fowl play? Definitely. Dry humor? Not for the guy underneath.
#2 Imagination Overload
Two friends lying in the grass discuss “overactive bladders”—right before a suspicious cloud burst. Rubin’s punchline lands with the accuracy of a sudden rainstorm. Proof that sometimes your imagination can come back to soak you.
#3 The Old Ball and Chain—Reimagined
You know the phrase “ball and chain”? Rubin’s cartoon gives it legs—literally—by showing two balls and chains chatting at the door. The classic excuse for missing out with friends, visualized as only New Cartoon Humor can.
#4 Dino-Droppings Discovery
Ever seen a fossilized dinosaur dropping so massive it boggles the mind? Rubin’s scientists are equally amazed, delivering the punchline: “You can’t make this coprolite up!” Who says science jokes can’t be big, bold, and a bit gross?
#5 The Revolutionary Wake-Up Call
History gets a humorous rewrite as Benedict Arnold laments his lack of respect—while literally getting up on the “wrong side of the bed.” The best kind of New Cartoon Humor: history with a human (and hilarious) twist.
#6 The Chicken’s Final Choice
A chicken at a funeral parlor gets offered a KFC bucket as “our most popular model.” Savage, clever, and just a little bit dark. If chickens could shudder, this one would.
#7 When Piggy Banks Go Bust
A shattered piggy bank at a crime scene is the star of this one. “Good plan, bad execution.” For anyone who’s ever tried to break the bank—literally or metaphorically—this joke hits home.
#8 Starter Problems
Two cars dine out, and the waiter asks, “Can I get you folks some starters?” It’s a delightfully groan-worthy play on words that’ll rev up your appetite for more New Cartoon Humor.
#9 Time Machine Detention
What’s the best way to keep a young genius in line? Stick him in a time machine until he learns punctuality! Rubin’s love for sci-fi and parental discipline blend into a panel that’s part history, part hysterical.
#10 Clownfish Climbing the Evolution Ladder
A clownfish, in full clown gear, waddles out of the ocean. It’s evolution theory with a punchline and a honking red nose—a perfect example of how New Cartoon Humor brings a fresh angle to old ideas.
#11 Which Door Will You Take?
Ever want to make a theatrical exit? This comic gives you both choices: a standard door, and a “Dramatic Exit” complete with exaggerated pose. For anyone who’s ever longed to leave a room with flair!
#12 The Birth of Swearing
A caveman invents “colorful language” after a bad day with a rock. The visual speech bubbles are a comic classic. New Cartoon Humor finds the root of every ancient grumble!
#13 Elephant in the Room (or Behind the Tree)
A dapper peanut walks by, while an elephant attempts a very not-so-inconspicuous hide behind a tree. Sometimes the best gags are visual—and this one is nuttier than most.
#14 Baby Push Notifications
A very modern couple awaits the arrival of their baby, but this time, the notification comes via smartphone. Rubin’s satire of tech-obsessed life nails it—new parents, beware your apps!
#15 Ugly Duckling 2.0
A swan reassures a homely duckling: “You’re beautiful inside.” The world’s oldest pep talk, New Cartoon Humor-style. Just what the ugly duckling needed (sort of).
#16 Picasso Problems
A Picasso-style painting sighs, “Oh #@*%! Not again.” Because even fine art can’t escape daily frustrations. This panel delivers pure cartoon meta-humor.
#17 That’s One Way to Decline a Party
A biblical invitation goes hilariously awry with a sign that reads, “Kiss off, sucker!” The sheep’s facial expressions alone are worth a slow clap.
#18 Jack & Jill: The Well Truth
Jill questions why anyone would put a well on a hill. “This nursery rhyme wasn’t written by a hydrologist.” Score one for logic, zero for fairy tales!
#19 Fishy Investments
Fish debate the value of omega-3 supplements—Rubin pokes fun at health fads, one fishy argument at a time.
#20 When You’re Bearly Brave
A bear sniffs out fear—and all its, um, “accompanying bodily functions.” It’s a laugh and a warning: never hide from a bear if you’re nervous!
In Summary
New Cartoon Humor proves that laughter is always in style. Leigh Rubin’s comics bring a rare combination of wit, originality, and sly social observation—every panel delivers a little burst of joy, surprise, or just a really good groan. If you love visual gags and zingers, you’ll want to keep these cartoons bookmarked for daily laughs.
