New humor cartoons are having a moment, and nobody delivers a punchline with more perfectly awkward charm than Dave Blazek. In this cartoon review, we dive into his razor-sharp wit and one-panel wonders from the Loose Parts series. These cartoons are the kind that’ll make you laugh out loud, question your life choices, or both—all in the best way.
About Dave Blazek and Loose Parts
Dave Blazek is a nationally syndicated cartoonist known for Loose Parts, a single-panel comic that’s been tickling funny bones for over two decades. His career began in advertising before he turned full-time to cartooning, eventually earning the National Cartoonists Society’s Best Newspaper Panel award. What sets Blazek apart is his uncanny ability to find absurdity in the everyday—be it through cavemen with tech problems, existential animals, or diners with a dark twist.
#1 Pirate School Gets Real.
At “Pirate Medical School,” hope and hygiene go out the porthole as a surgeon gives up mid-sentence and opts for a hook. It’s classic Blazek—ridiculous setup, flawless execution.
#2 Caveman Laser Pointers.
Long before laser tech, Blazek imagines prehistoric guys mystified by a mysterious red dot. The caveman dialogue is just icing on this primitive prank cake.
#3 Tool Belts, Version 1.0.
In a stone-age Home Depot moment, one caveman shows off his rock-and-stick tool belt. Minimalist? Yes. OSHA-approved? Probably not.
#4 BarbarianDate.com Disaster.
Online dating gets a savage twist when Caroline’s Viking date orders vodka with a side of “blood of my detractors.” Swipe left, forever.
#5 Salad Enthusiast by Circumstance.
After an accident, this guy literally becomes a salad master—because his hand is now a utensil. You’ll never look at forks the same way again.
#6 Cat Priorities at Sea.
Stranded on a raft, the real crisis? Missing Fifi’s declawing appointment. The absurdity of domestic panic in a survival situation is chef’s kiss.
#7 Lighting Bullets: A PSA.
In a Wild West setting, one man must be reminded that bullets and fire don’t mix. This comic fires off a perfectly timed safety gag.
#8 Roommate Resemblance Shocker.
“Spitting image” takes on new meaning when Jeff’s new roommate turns out to be… a llama. Bonus points for matching shirts.
#9 Death by Coinage.
Crime scene humor hits its richest form when detectives theorize a man was nickel-and-dimed to death. Dark, smart, and hilariously literal.
#10 Cow-Fed Grass.
At a trendy restaurant, the waiter casually explains a bizarre farm-to-table loop. Eco-friendly or eco-confused?
#11 The Pointless Light Switch.
“Fixit Frank” proudly installs a useless switch, sabotaging homeowners for generations. Home improvement has never felt so petty.
#12 Attention-Deficit Mouse.
In a lab, a scientist deflects blame for a mouse with zero chill. Genetics has never looked more relatable—or distracted.
#13 Concussion Birds, Activate!
A doctor hands out cartoon birds to circle a concussed patient’s head. That’s patient care with a Looney Tunes twist.
#14 Door Knocker Overkill.
A mouse critiques her partner’s new door knocker—actually a mousetrap. Domestic disputes meet death traps.
#15 Couch Space Therapy.
When the shrink’s office is being painted, two patients awkwardly share one couch. Comfort level: zero. Laugh level: high.
#16 Horse Therapy Session.
At horse happy hour, Charlie’s leg cramps get top billing. Anthropomorphic humor done right—with beers.
#17 High Heel History.
Apparently, high heels were a prehistoric fail until women walked upright. Equal parts slapstick and sass.
#18 Woodworking Gone Wild.
DIY furniture takes a terrifying turn when a whole tree crashes through the living room. But hey, live-edge is trending!
#19 The Merger You Didn’t See Coming.
Bagpipes meet whoopee cushion in a musical mash-up no one needed—but now we all want.
#20 Emotional Pillaging Is Real.
A Viking in therapy learns about emotional vulnerability. It’s therapeutic comedy with horned helmets.

Dave Blazek’s Loose Parts proves again and again that new humor cartoons can be both simple and brilliant. With punchlines that range from silly to sharp, his work is a delightful escape into the absurd.
