Artist Bio: Dave Blazek
Dave Blazek has spent decades making people laugh with his award-winning comic strip Loose Parts, syndicated through Andrews McMeel. Known for his surreal premises, clever wordplay, and everyday situations turned sideways, his work has won him the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award. His single-panel style thrives on surprise—often setting up a seemingly normal scene before flipping it on its head. Blazek’s comics appear in newspapers nationwide and on GoComics.com, where his fans come for their daily dose of joyful nonsense. Every panel is a reminder that life is funnier when you tilt your head and squint at it sideways.
1. Hell Goes Timeshare
Eternal damnation just got flexible. This gag reimagines hell as a seasonal rental for the casually naughty—proof that even the afterlife can get a marketing makeover.
2. High-Rise Fish Homes
Nothing says “bad day” like swimming into the wrong lobby. These fish have mastered looking awkward while breathing water.
3. Stock Market & Gravity Report
Including “gravity” in market updates is exactly the absurd reporting upgrade we didn’t know we needed.
4. Baseball Social Etiquette
A balk in baseball meets RSVP anxiety. It’s suburban small talk… with an umpire’s glare.
5. The Velcro Murders
The crime scene outline sticks—literally. Noir meets arts-and-crafts in this delightfully silly whodunit.
6. Illegible Patient Names
A waiting room full of hand injuries turns roll call into interpretive dance.
7. Gadzook Ranching
What is this animal? We don’t know, but it looks like it’s judging us.
8. Visiting Top Secret Agencies
When the building directory says “You Were Never Here,” you know you’re in spy comedy territory.
9. Whack-a-Mole From the Inside
Finally, the mole’s perspective—complete with workplace gossip.
10. Invasive Species at Home
When your plant takes over the couch, you’ve officially hit peak botanic absurdity.
11. Senseless Gopher Death
Cornhole claims another victim in this darkly funny panel.
12. The Scotch & Water Buffalo
A groan-worthy pun, executed flawlessly. Sometimes the joke is the pun.
13. Cat Boardroom Keyboard Crisis
Work from home meets feline chaos, as a boardroom full of cats proves productivity is optional.
14. Dog School Math Lesson
Even with the head tilt, the math still doesn’t click. Adorable confusion at its best.
15. Yardwork Bag Strategy
Money bag leaf sacks: the ultimate thief bait.
16. Where the Deer & Antelope… Cook
Turning a Western song lyric into a kitchen tour? Pure Blazek brilliance.
17. Kingly Furniture Help
Arthurian legend collides with moving day logistics.
18. Germane Lettuce
Gardening puns so refined they could run for office.
19. Roadkill’s Expiration Date
Dark humor, feathered delivery. Nature’s leftovers never looked so smug.
20. Patient Portal Portal
Medical tech frustrations meet sci-fi wormhole chaos.
21. The Last to Leave Moose
The moose’s giant antlers got him accepted into the bar crew—but also make him the last to exit. That’s commitment.
Closing Thoughts
If absurd humor had a hall of fame, these 21 panels would hang proudly at the entrance. They’re sharp, unexpected, and joyfully illogical—reminders that comedy thrives in the spaces between sense and nonsense.
