20 Cornered comics by Mike Baldwin A Cartoon Review

#1 Police Therapy Session Gone Wrong

Nothing screams accountability like blaming your mom. Except maybe revealing she bribed a judge to get your charges dropped. In this twisted therapy session, even the officer’s subconscious is cornered.

#2 Caveman Strategy Meeting

Turns out prehistoric hunters had project managers too. One cavewoman’s eye-roll says it all: no more planning, just stab something. It’s corporate culture, 10,000 BC-style.

#3 Hypnotized in Court

This nudist didn’t mean to flash the courtroom—he was hypnotized! Or at least that’s the excuse. Baldwin masterfully flips the idea of consent with courtroom chaos.

#4 Expensive Counseling Consequences

Love might survive tough times—but can it survive the therapist’s bill? Apparently, for this guy, it triggered a full-blown emotional shutdown. The wife’s reaction? Swooning like therapy worked.

#5 Witness or Hostage?

The courtroom drama intensifies as the tied-up man on the witness stand is asked if his abductor is present. Subtle? Nope. Funny? Absolutely.

#6 Party Pain

She dragged him to the event kicking and screaming—literally. Leg wraps and all. A visual metaphor for every spouse dragged to social functions against their will.

#7 Deep Sea Dining Disaster

The scuba-themed waiter announces the specials: tuna and regret. Shark’s off the menu, but not off your mind. Seafood has never been more existential.

#8 Garden Shop Gone Wild

Cow, sheep, and—wait, Heimlich manure? Is that even legal? Mike Baldwin’s play on words makes a trip to the garden store hilariously suspicious.

#9 Dog Therapy Revelation

This mutt needs therapy, too. Barking calms him—too bad for the neighbors. It’s a classic Baldwin role-reversal: canine psychology meets human patience.

#10 Billboard Accident in Progress

Changing a billboard sign shouldn’t require safety gear unless the letters start forming a real-time scream. This comic’s visual timing is pure genius.

#11 Boring Inc. — Where the Thrill Dies

A bored employee stares out from the dullest company ever: Boring Inc. It’s business as usual, and the joke lands perfectly thanks to the literal office branding.

#12 Dragon Parenting Revelation

This fire-breathing mom just told her human son he’s adopted. The kid’s expression screams, “I knew it!” Parenting twists don’t get more magical—or monstrous.

#13 Rodent Coffee Break

Mice unionize under pest control’s nose to grab a quick coffee. Complete with branded poison packets. A tiny breakroom rebellion in classic Baldwin style.

#14 Hospital Humor

Surgery went well, but the entire bed is missing. No context needed—just chuckles. It’s absurd, visual comedy at its finest.

#15 Dyslexic Driving School Mix-Up

A classic case of mixed-up directions—literally. Feet on the wheel, hands on the road, and panic behind the wheel. Wordplay meets chaos.

#16 Rich vs. Poor: Euphemisms Matter

When rich people do it, it’s “restructuring debt.” When the homeless do it, it’s “begging.” Baldwin nails societal hypocrisy in one brilliant panel.

#17 Scrapbooking Gets Violent

Scrapbooking shouldn’t be dangerous—unless you’re in prison. Shivs and stickers don’t usually mix, but Baldwin makes it work.

#18 Digital Showdown

A tense office standoff between a phone-holding woman and a calm man asking for a civil conversation. It’s like email debates but in real life.

#19 Escape Plan with a Twist

Two inmates in tutus attempt a rope escape. One inmate quips, “Try dancing out of this one.” Baldwin’s love for visual puns is in full pirouette.

#20 Crime School 101

A criminal in training flubs the holdup line—again. His bunkmate can’t take it anymore. Crime school is clearly harder than it looks.
