About the Artist Dan Thompson & The Brevity Team
Dan Thompson, the creative force behind Brevity, has been delighting readers since the comic debuted in 2005. Syndicated by Andrews McMeel, Brevity brings the perfect blend of visual comedy, literary wordplay, and sharp observational humor. Dan’s background in cartooning stretches beyond just this strip—he’s also contributed work to animation and other projects over the years.
#1 Too Much Information, artistically.
An artist bares his soul in the most TMI way possible revealing his love for mayo jars, Kardashians, and Michael Bolton. It’s hilariously awkward and paints a vivid picture of a Too-Graphic Artist.
#2 Fruit Love and Unexpected Assumptions.
A cantaloupe and a watermelon navigate love and… assumptions. The perfect play on “getting hitched” delivers relationship humor in a refreshingly fruity format.
#3 Botany or Bad Decision
Knotweed sounds innocent—until your dad thinks you’re harboring illegal flora. The pun here is knot just funny—it’s clever gardening comedy at its finest.
#4 Ramen Justice Served Cold.
An FBI agent uses ramen to get a confession. The pun? Noodles and “This is noodles?” lands so unexpectedly that even Hannibal Lecter might slurp it up.
#5 French Fashion Fanfare.
You haven’t lived until you’ve heard someone yell “Hip, hip, beret!” in pure joy. This one’s for the pun-lovers and hat enthusiasts alike.
#6 Jacuzzi With a Splash of Mythology
When your coffee table doubles as a mermaid grotto, you’re officially winning at life. Or losing. It’s hard to tell, but it’s definitely funny.
#7 Tech Humor on Your Doorstep.
George’s “screen door” is a literal computer screen. It’s an old joke made perfectly new with pixel-perfect art and deadpan delivery.
#8 Artisanal Clay…Fountains?
A woman gets splashed with wet clay from what she thought was a regular fountain. Turns out, it’s a Potter Fountain—you know, for artsy hydration.
#9 Interior Design Meets Data Science.
The phrase “Mid-century Modem” is genius. It blends mid-century aesthetic with old-school tech, resulting in a glorious punchline dressed as furniture.
#10 Modest Mouse Logic.
If you’ve got “Good News for People Who Love Bad News,” you’ve got a modest mouse pun and a record store that seriously needs inventory management.
#11 The Herring Aide.
Fishy politics get literal as a dapper fish shows up as a senator’s aide. It’s political satire with scales and a briefcase. We love it.
#12 Give Pez a Chance.
A flower child in tie-dye peace-talks with candy. The visual of a Pez dispenser as a peace offering is both brilliant and nostalgia-inducing.
#13 Carrot Health Crisis.
A snowman visits a doctor only to find he has a blockage in his carrot-id artery. It’s frosty, healthy, and punny all at once.
#14 Madeline Kids Solve Crimes Now.
In a shocking crossover, the Madeline girls become pint-sized crime solvers. It’s absurd, it’s cute, and somehow makes perfect sense.
#15 UB40 and Age Confusion.
“UB40?” “I be 39.” This exchange is so dumb it’s brilliant—and every record store clerk has probably heard worse.
#16 Drawing a Blank (Literally).
Asked about missing prop bullets, an artist solemnly says he’s “drawing a blank.” It’s such a groan-worthy pun that we laughed way too hard.
#17 Grave Decisions.
A skeleton says he could’ve haunted Earth, but decided to “go with his guts.” It’s macabre, witty, and a hilarious reason to stay buried.
#18 Musical Law Repeal.
Senators debating the mandatory cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”? Satirical gold. Brevity hits at cultural clichés with a wink and a gavel.
#19 Color Clashing Cowboy.
This cowboy took fashion advice the wrong way. A mix of neon stripes and existential reflection lands this comic squarely in the “so bad it’s great” category.
#20 Hotter Than Georgia.
Even the devil can’t handle Georgia in August. This comic flips a classic song reference into a red-hot escape story. Literally.
Summery
Brevity daily cartoons prove that when it comes to humor, less is definitely more. With just one panel, these comics deliver belly laughs, clever puns, and unexpected twists.
