Stahler’s sharp wit and soft line work bring warmth to modern chaos.

From Date Nights to Petty Fights, It’s All Here in Cartoon Form
1. Your Battery’s Low — Time for Bed
This comic captures the quintessential married life energy: when your partner monitors your sleep like a smartphone. The woman, casually reading, hits her husband with the ultimate zinger — likening his yawning to a low battery warning. It’s the kind of marital banter that’s half sweet, half savage, and 100% true for anyone over 30.
2. “I Know You Say I Don’t Listen…
Ah, the classic selective hearing trope. Stahler brilliantly pokes fun at the timeless struggle of one-sided conversations in relationships. As the man preemptively acknowledges his partner’s complaint — likely without ever fixing the issue — we’re left laughing and wincing at how real it feels.
3. “I’m In Here!” – Book Edition
A man jokes that a book “really sucked her in” — but the twist? The book shouts, “I’m in here!” Stahler’s genius is on full display here, anthropomorphizing a novel that’s stolen someone’s attention. It’s a charming jab at how deeply we can disappear into stories — and forget the world (and spouse) around us.
4. I Might Grow a Beard Too
This delightful role reversal has the woman musing about growing a beard because it’s trendy — much to the man’s probable confusion. It’s not just funny, it cleverly undercuts gender expectations and gives us a chuckle in the process.
5. “No Tech Support for Books?”
Holding a real book? That’s already a rare sight. But when it breaks and your partner asks where the tech support is — that’s modern love in a nutshell. This comic perfectly nails our over-dependence on screens, apps, and anything with a charger. It’s clever, ironic, and way too real.
6. “Tweet First, Thank Later”
The woman’s confession — that crafting tweets comes easy, but a thank-you note is a struggle — is peak millennial relatability. Stahler’s cartoon taps into how digital ease makes analog politeness seem like rocket science. A witty jab at shifting priorities in modern romance.
7. “Stronger Than Like, Weaker Than Love”
This sweet and silly strip nails the awkward uncertainty of budding relationships. As the guy seeks a Goldilocks term between “like” and “love,” you can practically hear the inner panic. It’s funny because it’s true — emotional commitment has never been so linguistically fragile.
8. “I’m Beginning to Lose It”
A relatable depiction of phone-call rage, especially during customer service purgatory. The woman’s phone grip and sarcastic patience spiral is all of us. It might not look romantic, but every long-term partner knows the “bad mood by proxy” scenario all too well.
9. “Your Call is Very Important”
This panel doubles down on call-hold absurdity, with the man bewildered by the woman’s tenacity — all because the recorded voice promised the call was important. Stahler is clearly an expert at channeling couple life frustrations into dry, delightful laughs.
10. “Wi-Fi on the First Date?!”
A hilarious peek into modern dating boundaries, where asking for someone’s Wi-Fi password feels more intimate than a kiss. The woman’s bold request and the man’s shocked reaction strike the perfect note of satire. We’re officially living in the future.
11. “Unplug Me and Plug Me Back In”
If your partner starts comparing themselves to a Wi-Fi router, it might be time for a nap. This comic is a hilariously accurate portrayal of modern-day exhaustion, where burnout is treated like a tech glitch. Jeff Stahler taps into that all-too-familiar feeling of being emotionally fried — and somehow makes it sound like you just need a system reboot. Marriage in the digital age? Basically, two tired people trying to stay powered on.
12. “Dr. Jekyll’s Reservation Problem”
This one’s a clever spin on couple outings with a splash of literary wit. As the host looks for a reservation under Dr. Jekyll, he casually wonders if it’s under “another name” — a subtle dig at Mr. Hyde. It’s the perfect metaphor for every date where moods swing faster than the menu gets opened. Stahler’s ability to blend pop culture, sarcasm, and relationship dynamics? Brilliant.
13. “Baby’s First Word: Data”
You were hoping for “Dada” — but your tech-obsessed tot just dropped “Data” instead. This comic hilariously reflects the times we live in, where screen time starts before toddlerhood. Jeff Stahler skewers the digital-parenting dilemma in one perfect punchline. It’s adorable, a little sad, and undeniably funny — just like raising kids in the Wi-Fi era.
14. “Hotel Needs? Forget Pillows, Bring Outlet
Forget comfort or view — today’s family vacations are all about USB access. In this cartoon, a family of four walks in clutching devices, asking the front desk for a room with at least four USB outlets. This one’s painfully accurate and proof that even quality time now comes with a charger.
15. “Let Me Check My Facebook Memory”
Memory lane has officially been outsourced. When the guy forgets what they did last weekend, his partner doesn’t hesitate — she turns to Facebook. This comic perfectly captures our growing dependence on social media to track real life. Funny, yes. A little alarming? Also yes.
16. “She Looks Free… Probably Left Her Phone
A woman joyfully leaps through a park, arms outstretched — and the commentary? “She looks so liberated!” “She probably left her cell at home.” It’s a hilarious take on just how tethered we’ve become to our phones. Apparently, freedom in 2025 just means forgetting your charger.
17. “Football vs. Feelings”
“All I want is a man who pays attention to me like he does to football.” That line could be stitched on a pillow or tattooed across the internet. Stahler hits home with this one, capturing the eternal tug-of-war between romantic attention and televised sports. Spoiler: the TV usually wins.
18. “20 Likes? That’s It?!”
Social media validation gone wild. The woman demands a recount for getting only 20 likes — as if her post was an election result. This cartoon is a sly jab at how our egos are now measured in hearts and thumbs-up. Stahler serves the truth with a heavy dose of satire, and we love it.
19. Let’s Go Elsewhere to Stare at Our Phones
Modern love, summarized. Jeff Stahler skewers the weird new date-night reality — being physically present, emotionally distant. It’s commentary disguised as comedy, and it lands perfectly because we’ve all seen (or been) that couple in silence, scrolling away.
20. “2008? Really?”
One of Stahler’s sharpest takes on memory and grudges. The boyfriend can’t recall yesterday’s password, but his partner remembers every syllable from a 2008 argument. The comic hilariously mirrors how relationships function — with love, loyalty… and a long memory for slights.
Final Summery
