New Funny Cartoons deserve your full attention—and probably a good snort-laugh or two. This comic review dives into the wacky, wonderfully weird, and sneakily smart world of single-panel humor where punchlines pack a quick, hilarious punch. We’re talking visual jokes that hit faster than your morning coffee and stay with you longer than that awkward Zoom meeting.
Meet the Cartoonist – Dave Coverly
Dave Coverly is the mastermind behind Speed Bump, a long-running syndicated cartoon panel known for its single-panel brilliance and surreal, observational humor. A Reuben Award winner and one of the most consistent names in newspaper comics, Coverly has a style that blends absurdity with relatability—often in the same panel.
His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Reader’s Digest, and hundreds of newspapers across the globe. His signature? A witty punchline tucked inside a scene that could easily be your own living room, a weird dream, or a very strange office meeting. Basically, he makes you laugh—and think—at the same time.
#1 Cartoon Therapy Gone Wrong.
A psychiatrist breaks the fourth wall with a hilarious line: “Unfortunately, this patient has a fear of cartoons.” The empty couch says it all. This is meta-humor at its peak and an ironic twist on therapy—because sometimes the joke is you.
#2 Welcome to Grammar Hell
An English teacher ends up in the underworld, but it’s not the flames that bother her—it’s the typos. This cartoon is a must for word nerds and anyone who’s ever silently judged a misplaced apostrophe.
#3 Why DID the Chicken Cross the Road?
A young scout offers help… but also wants answers. This twist on the oldest joke in the book makes it feel fresh—and suspiciously philosophical.
#4 Emotional Support Dog? Try Emotional Sport Dog.
This pooch isn’t here for cuddles. He’s a blind umpire, passionately calling bad plays from the couch. A typo turns into a top-tier visual gag with perfect comedic timing.
#5 Out-of-Body Experience—Literally.
A monk warns his meditating companion not to leave his body unattended in this neighborhood. Enlightenment meets petty crime in this colorful, quirky take on spirituality.
#6 Doggie Vision Board Dreams.
Two pups admire an “inspo” board of rugs—not to redecorate, but to pee on someday. It’s peak canine ambition with a side of design commentary.
#7 Alien Abduction? There’s an Ad for That.
Caught in a tractor beam, one human comments, “Now my ads are all about probes.” Welcome to the terrifyingly hilarious era of hyper-targeted marketing.
#8 Cloud Gazing Gone Wild.
A woman lounges with her dog under the sky. He’s trying (poorly) to identify cloud squirrels. It’s a silly slice of dog logic—and relatable for anyone who’s tried to explain reality to a pet.
#9 Germs Just Waiting for the Meeting to Start.
These microscopic organisms look suspiciously like your coworkers in a Zoom call. This clever crossover between sickness and workplace culture is grossly funny in all the right ways.
#10 Dog Watching TV With Subtitles Off.
In a dubbed version of “woof woof” TV, a man can’t handle the dog-to-human voiceover. It’s an oddly specific joke… and that’s what makes it gold.
#11 Starfish With Existential Swagger.
Two sea stars under a stunning night sky muse about their significance. Existential humor + ocean vibes = unexpectedly deep and delightfully ironic.
#12 Trail Mix Review: Missing Rabbit Pellets.
Two dogs debate the quality of trail mix… as if it’s gourmet kibble. It’s dumb. It’s wonderful. It’s exactly the kind of logic you’d expect from snack-loving pups.
#13 Gothic Ladybug Phase.
One beetle has traded spots for skulls. His family just sighs, “It’s a phase.” Ladybugs and teenage rebellion? This cartoon wins for sheer creative absurdity.
#14 Live, Laugh, Love… Lick, Yap, Rub.
A pet owner and her dog sit beneath mismatched wall art. One motivational, one fur-baby focused. Honestly, the dog’s version is way more accurate.
#15 Passive-Aggressive Cat Reunion.
A “lost” cat poster was actually just a manipulative way to keep the husband home. Feline drama meets marital mind games in this subtly savage comic.
#16 Emotional Support Bird—Not So Reassuring.
At airport check-in, the pilot’s “support bird” sits smugly on his hat. Confidence? Not quite. This cartoon nails travel anxiety with a feathered punchline.
#17 Pulled Over by Philosophy
A cop stops a car full of philosophers and nobody knows why they were pulled over. Socratic method fails to save the day. An intellectual roast that’s laugh-out-loud funny.
#18 The Most Millennial Threat Ever.
Two interrogators threaten to like all your ex’s old Instagram pics. Honestly? More terrifying than waterboarding. It’s a modern joke with evil genius-level wit.
#19 Stalker Anthem Turned Cautionary Tale.
A prison inmate quotes the lyrics of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”… only to be interrupted with a punchline about stalking laws. It’s dark humor done hilariously right.
#20 Corporate Potty Break Protocol.
A business meeting full of dogs gets interrupted by a sniff-and-spin emergency. The panel’s professionalism breaks down in the most dog-like way possible.
