Review: Daily Dose of Humor Cartoons
#1 The Scarecrow’s Worst Diagnosis
When your doctor says, “It’s not good… he’s got field mice,” you know things are looking grim for this poor scarecrow. Larson nails the absurdity of a medical diagnosis in a hay-filled world.
#2 Buddy’s Big Dreams
“Parakeet of the Baskervilles” — because even small birds have big, dramatic nightmares. A Sherlock Holmes twist with feathers makes this panel brilliantly ridiculous.
#3 Fish Tank Horror Show
A goldfish and a cat’s paw in the bowl. The tension? Palpable. The punchline? All in the silent stare-down.
#4 Cowboy Grammar Problems
Around a campfire, cowboys argue whether it’s “darn it” or “dern it.” Proof that Western philosophy is alive and well.
#5 A Fat Lip with Style
When a bar fight threat includes the phrase “fat lip” and the guy already has one the size of a sofa cushion, you can’t help but laugh.
#6 Skeleton Fisherman’s Catch
Two fish, one hook, and a long-dead fisherman. The grim reaper of fishing jokes doesn’t get darker (or funnier) than this.
#7 Dogs Behind the Wheel
That bumper sticker: “Have you licked your kids today?” Yep, only Larson would flip the wholesome into canine comedy gold.
#8 Locusts’ War Council
Locusts planning a crop invasion like a medieval army is peak Larson. Bonus points for the dramatic rally cry: “Death to the tomatoes!”
#9 Haircut Gone Wrong
A barber distracted by politics turns his customer into an accidental buzz-cut victim. Proof that arguments about politics are never safe.
#10 Bee Hive Mystery
Inside a hive, investigators find evidence of “rocks thrown from inside.” It’s classic Larson — bugs behaving badly.
#11 Submarine Toys in Action
A bath toy submarine crew reacts to a child reaching for the soap. Suddenly, bath time is a military operation.
#12 Dogs and Homework
A classroom of dogs, teacher included, proving once and for all: yes, the dog did eat your homework.
#13 Caveman Laundry Day
Stone Age couples beating laundry on rocks… and learning the hard way that dogs don’t wash the same way.
#14 Prehistoric Romance
“Early corsages” involve a man gifting his date a bouquet still clinging to a small critter. Romance was complicated in the caveman era.
#15 Car Sales Shenanigans
A salesman tries to push a ridiculously tiny $5 car while ignoring the obvious. The absurdity of sales pitches hits home.
#16 Quack Quack Marriage Drama
A man vents at a bar about his nagging wife… who happens to be a duck. Larson’s punchline is in the relentless “quack quack quack.”
#17 Cult of the Cow
A farmer investigates a bizarre incident only to find his cow dressed like it joined a late-night cult. The robe really sells it.
#18 Chicken Heart Surgery
Doctors as chickens in an operating room, picking from a tray of hearts. It’s gruesome, bizarre, and laugh-out-loud surreal.
#19 Career Counseling for Cowboys
Career advice: sales, advertising, or maybe slaughtering buffalo. Larson skewers career tests with a wild west twist.
#20 Rolling with Nursery Rhymes
“Knick knack, paddywhack, give a dog a bone!” A man literally goes tumbling down the hill with every verse. Childhood rhyme meets slapstick.
