Funny Parenting Comics are the ultimate antidote to those “am I the only one losing my mind?” parenting days. If you’ve ever handed your kid a snack just to buy five minutes of peace, or tried to explain why bedtime doesn’t depend on the sun, these comics are basically your spiritual guidebook. In this cartoon review, we’re diving headfirst into Brian Gordon’s brilliantly funny take on parenthood—where the ducks look a little frazzled, the kids are always one step ahead, and you’re guaranteed to recognize yourself on every page.
Brian Gordon – The Mastermind Behind the Ducks
Brian Gordon, creator of Fowl Language Comics, is basically the unofficial poet laureate of modern parenthood. After years working as a Hallmark cartoonist, Brian launched his own series that quickly became a viral sensation. His work has been featured everywhere from HuffPost to BuzzFeed, and he’s won legions of fans for his brutally honest, sharply funny take on raising kids. What makes Gordon’s comics stand out is his signature blend of expressive cartoon ducks, punchy dialogue, and an unfiltered peek behind the curtain of parenting chaos. His panels are instantly recognizable for their clean lines, pastel palettes, and the hilariously weary looks on every duck’s face—a true badge of parenting honor.
#1 Operation: Indoctrinate the Kids (With Your Music)
Every parent’s dream: your kid finally admits they like your “old” music. Victory! Brian Gordon nails the joy and surprise of that moment in a car ride panel that’s too real. Is it manipulation or just excellent taste? Either way, Funny Parenting Comics capture these little wins perfectly.
#2 The Great Public Embarrassment Double Standard
If you’ve ever stealthily whisked a pee-soaked kid out of a store, you’ll howl at this one. But heaven forbid you, the parent, have a “toot” slip—your kid will announce it to the whole world. Relatable Parenting Cartoons don’t get more painfully accurate.
#3 Parenting Pro Tip: Collapse in Style
That serene bedroom you so lovingly prepped? Turns out, it’s your sanctuary when bedtime negotiations break down. Parenting humor cartoons rarely feel this real, or this comforting—because sometimes self-care is just passing out in your kid’s chair.
#4 Sportsmanship (and Psycho Parents) 101
Sure, it’s all about fun—until the ref blows a call. The psycho sideline parent in this panel is every sports mom or dad on a Saturday. Funny Parenting Comics perfectly roast those “it’s just a game…unless we’re losing” moments.
#5 The Clothing Budget Evolution
Remember when you bought cute, impractical outfits for your kid? Yeah, now it’s “will this fit you in college?” Brian Gordon’s signature wit shines here, with a side of thrift-store guilt. Parenting humor at its finest!
#6 Encouraging Curiosity (in the Worst Possible Places)
Bring your kid to a gross public restroom and watch their curiosity soar! This comic is a hilarious PSA for germaphobe parents everywhere—don’t touch anything. Funny Parenting Comics thrive on these relatable, real-life horror stories.
#7 Toothbrush Detective Agency
Ever inspected a toothbrush like it’s a crime scene? Same. Only Funny Parenting Comics make the agony of parenting detective work this funny (and this universal).
#8 Summer Bedtime Battles
“Why is it bedtime if the sun is still out?”—a classic kid logic puzzle. This panel brings every parent’s summer-night struggle to life with a burst of sunshine and a hint of parental desperation.
#9 Running Shoes Logic: Ugly and Expensive
Why are running shoes so ugly (and expensive)? Turns out, it’s a marketing conspiracy! This one’s for the parents who’d rather buy groceries than another pair of neon trainers.
#10 The Two Types of TV Dads
Are there really two types? This comic says nope—it’s just “The Doofus.” Sometimes the truth is hilarious…and a little too close to home
#11 School Drop-Off Shame
Is hugging your kid at school social suicide? According to this comic, yes. Funny Parenting Comics perfectly capture the drama of elementary school drop-off etiquette.
#12 Fitness Class Rebellion
Who hasn’t muttered “you can’t tell me what to do” in a group workout? If you haven’t, you will after reading this brutally honest comic about exercise defiance.
#13 Baby Shower Ban
Three glasses of wine and a rant about snap-up pajamas—cue the invitation blacklist. This comic delivers on the cringe and the LOLs.
#14 Productivity Delusions
“Maybe I’ll get work done while the kids are home.” Cue: maniacal laughter. Relatable parenting comics have never hit so close to the bone.
#15 Five Minutes’ Peace (Yeah, Right)
“Can you entertain yourself for five minutes?” The answer is always no—and usually involves a Nerf gun to the head. Brian Gordon gets us.
#16 The Boredom Alarm Clock
Forget iPhones—kids are nature’s original (and most obnoxious) alarm clock. This comic sums up every parent’s groggy 6am wake-up.
#17 Sibling “Fun”
Remember when you thought a sibling would be your kid’s best friend? So did Brian Gordon. The result: hilarious chaos in every frame.
#18 That Old Feeling (Of Forgetting Your Age)
When you can’t remember how old you are, but your kids are keeping score. Parenting humor cartoons, but make it existential.
#19 The Universal Law of Parenting
Wherever you go, disaster follows—usually the farther from home, the more urgent the bathroom needs. Funny Parenting Comics don’t lie!
#20 The Infinite Wardrobe Cycle
That adorable new outfit? Give it five minutes. This recurring theme is a crowd-pleaser because it’s everyone’s reality.
