Latest Hilarious Comics by the legendary Jim Unger prove once again that single-panel brilliance never goes out of style. This cartoon review dives headfirst into Unger’s wildly absurd world — where confused patients, clueless husbands, and slightly sinister waitresses reign supreme. Each panel is like a grenade of dry wit, and if you’re not laughing by #5, we’ll assume your funny bone needs CPR.
About the Artist: Jim Unger
Jim Unger was the creative mastermind behind the beloved comic strip Herman, which debuted in 1975 and quickly gained a cult following. Known for his iconic style — bulbous noses, exaggerated slumps, and impeccable deadpan expressions — Unger crafted each cartoon with razor-sharp wit. His work was syndicated in over 600 newspapers across 25 countries.
He earned multiple National Newspaper Awards and was inducted into the Canadian Cartoonists Hall of Fame. Unger’s genius lies in his ability to turn the mundane into the maniacally funny — with themes often circling around relationships, jobs, doctors, and everyday absurdity.
#1 Seatbelt Recall Disaster.
Why settle for metaphors when you can go literal? This cartoon hilariously imagines a man strapped into an actual car seat — turning vehicle safety into visual insanity.
#2 Meat Market Dreams.
Family legacy, meet bank foreclosure. This butcher shop pep talk spirals into comic realism, with sausage links dangling above a not-so-bright future.
#3 Housework Escape Plan.
A classic marital misdirection. When chores double as fresh air therapy, you know someone’s about to lose the battle of logic.
#4 Flatlining Humor.
Only in Herman can a patient be eerily calm while essentially declaring his own death. The comedy lives in the calm.
#5 Coffee Bean Update, Please.
Coffee delays have never been so existential. This one pokes fun at every undercaffeinated soul who’s waited too long.
#6 Dog Food Switcheroo.
Sometimes dinner is just a lucky guess. Bonus points for the dog’s upgraded meal — tomato basil, anyone?
#7 The Cloning Conundrum.
This one hits too close to home. The ultimate lazy genius plan — now if only HR departments saw it that way.
#8 Resource Management.
Apparently, hospital visits now come with household rations. This comic might as well be titled “Survivor: The Kitchen Edition.”
#9 Toaster Troubles.
If you’ve ever stared blankly at a machine waiting for it to work — this one’s for you. Unger perfectly captures the art of slow realization.
#10 Beach Day Diagnosis.
We don’t know how, but this doctor does. Herman’s take on beach mishaps is sun-soaked and tongue-in-cheek, literally.
#11 Musical Soup Delay.
Who needs a ladle when you’ve got a violin? This multitasking chef proves you can’t always serve soup and culture.
#12 Trap Door Hospitality.
Dark and clever, this cartoon turns a welcome mat into a Looney Tunes-style trap. Who knew obedience training involved floorboards?
#13 Fast Lane Living.
Now this is aging like fine wine — or at least like high-fiber juice. Unger’s take on senior speed is a slow-motion zinger.
#14 Cannibal Cuisine.
Set in a jungle with an ominous “MENU” sign, this one tiptoes into edgy territory while staying tongue-in-cheek hilarious.
#15 Birthday Backup Plan.
An absolute efficiency move — or pure panic prevention? Either way, this guy’s not forgetting another birthday anytime soon.
#16 Homework Sabotage.
One of the darkest motivational strategies ever recorded in a family setting. Parents everywhere, take note.
#17 Love and Finances.
Brutally honest and somehow still sweet. A twisted version of “happily ever after” in classic Herman style.
#18 Back to Nature (Not).
Why go camping when you can suffer at home? Unger’s grumpiest character might be onto something.
#19 Post-Surgery Opportunity.
Romantic? Not exactly. Hilarious? Absolutely. This doctor gets real about timing and tough personalities.
#20 Speedy Wedding Service.
The pastor’s ready to wrap this wedding up faster than a drive-thru. Serial marriages never looked so amusing.
Final Thoughts
Jim Unger’s latest hilarious comics are a timeless reminder that one panel is all it takes to flip reality upside down. His art thrives on subtlety, visual irony, and expressions that say more than a thousand words ever could. These 20 cartoons are the perfect dose of daily laughter — and proof that Herman is still one of the sharpest, funniest comic strips ever created.
