New Trending Comics are all the rage right now, and today’s comic/cartoon review dives into the one and only “Herman”—a strip that’s managed to stay relevant, hilarious, and sometimes head-scratchingly weird across generations. If you love your comic strips snappy, delightfully absurd, and unapologetically human, buckle up. We’ve got a fresh crop of the funniest, quirkiest “Herman” panels that are absolutely blowing up in 2025.
About the Artist Jim Unger
Jim Unger, the mastermind behind “Herman,” was a British-Canadian cartoonist with a razor-sharp wit and a taste for the absurd. Over his legendary career, Unger’s “Herman” strips have been published in over 600 newspapers worldwide, winning him accolades like the National Cartoonist Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award (twice!).
Unger’s humor is classic yet edgy, focusing on the mundane moments of life—then cranking up the weird. His signature style? Squiggly lines, expressive faces, and punchlines that sneak up and wallop you with laughter.
1. “I Know It’s a Dog License!” – Paws on the Wheel
Dog driving a car? Officer, we swear, the paperwork checks out! This trending cartoon flips the “who’s driving?” question on its furry head for a howling good time. The blank stares and casual absurdity are classic Herman.
2. “Driven By a Little Old Lady…” – Pizza on Wheels
Only in a “Herman” world would a pizza shop car get sold with the classic “old lady and nephew” line. The car’s condition says everything, but the punchline hits with perfect used-car salesman energy.
3. “Come to Dinner—Have Mine” – Hospitality, Herman-Style
There’s an art to passive-aggressive hospitality, and this trending comic nails it. The fur coat, the offer, the shade—it’s all deliciously on brand.
4. “Custer’s Coming!” – Comic History Telephone
The history books never told you about this game of telephone. Watching “Custer’s coming!” get passed through the ranks is a visual treat—and the payoff? Worth every panel.
5. “First Powered Flight” – Lost Luggage, Wright?
The Wright brothers would understand: modern air travel problems, like lost luggage, go all the way back to day one. This strip takes historical moments and spins them for pure comedy gold.
6. “Customs Banana Surprise” – Smuggling Gone Bananas
When you travel with fruit, sometimes you bring home…a little extra. The customs agent’s face is priceless, the situation totally bananas. Easily one of the new trending comics for visual gags.
7. “Save the Rainforest” – Cooking Up a Cause
Eco-warriors beware: sometimes the message gets lost in the (literal) stew. A hilarious take on activism—Herman style.
8. “Happy Hour” – Soup’s On, Double Time
Happy hour just means more of the same…even if it’s two mushroom soups. The resigned look says it all.
9. “As Soon as He Starts Snoring…” – Sleep Aid DIY
Medical advice, Herman-style: slap it on as soon as the snoring starts. It’s healthcare with a punchline!
10. “Needs a Tie to Get In” – Dress Codes Decoded
Club entry rules can be weird, but Herman’s take on “tie required” hits another level—especially when it’s your wife running the show.
11. “Microwave TV” – Electronics Mixup
Wondering why your new TV’s not working? Check if it’s actually a microwave! Classic Herman confusion at its best.
12. “Use Your Initiative” – Financial Genius
The kid’s got hustle—just maybe not the right kind. The look on dad’s face? Comedy gold, and trending for a reason.
13. “Eat the Plate?” – Dinnertime Drama
Five minutes late and suddenly the plate’s fair game? Only in a “Herman” comic does dinner go sideways this fast.
14. “Coffee Maker Woes” – Caffeine Catastrophe
Late coffee, cold coffee…life’s little disappointments hit home, but always with a chuckle.
15. “References Can’t Write” – The Job Hunt Shuffle
References are tough. Especially when neither can write. Herman’s humor about job interviews is timeless and, let’s be honest, painfully relatable.
16. “Face the Window” – Hospital Howlers
Medical cartoons are a Herman specialty. The setup: a giant syringe, a nervous patient, and a request to “face the window.” The result: pure trending comic magic.
17. “On Strike” – Nurse Negotiations
Nurse strikes don’t stop the punchlines. “You’ll be fine, that drip will last you two weeks.” Brutal, hilarious, and right on trend.
18. “Step Away from the Flowers” – Bee Busted
Nothing to see here, just a bee in trouble with the law for loitering around the flowers. A silly visual with big laugh energy.
19. “He Won’t Go Out With Anyone…” – Picky Pup
The most loyal dog around? Or just a canine with standards. “Except my wife” is the kind of punchline that keeps “Herman” trending decade after decade.
20. “First Weekend Off…” – Roman Rower Regret
Nothing says “time off” like being chained to a galley and forced to go canoeing. The ultimate “careful what you wish for” moment, delivered with Herman’s trademark grin.
