It’s a curated collection of laugh-out-loud, smartly drawn single-panel gems by the legendary Bill Whitehead, the artist behind Free Range Comics. From savage one-liners to clever cultural jabs, these cartoons capture everything from awkward everyday moments to hilariously twisted logic — all in one punchline.
Meet the Mastermind Behind the Laughs – Bill Whitehead
Bill Whitehead is the brilliant cartoonist behind the side-splitting “Free Range” comic series. With a career spanning decades, his work blends wit, cultural satire, and clever twists that appeal to readers of all ages. His comics have been widely syndicated and featured in major publications, earning him a reputation for delivering humor that’s equal parts intelligent and absurd. From modern frustrations to ancient caveman logic, Whitehead masterfully turns the everyday into the hilariously unexpected
#1 Leaf It to the Vegans.
Welcome to the “Plant-Based Meat Locker,” where steaks are leafy and lettuce hangs like prosciutto. This comic hilariously skewers modern food trends while poking gentle fun at the health-conscious crowd. Bill Whitehead’s ability to visualize absurd concepts makes even a vegan cold storage room laugh-out-loud funny.
#2 Royal Decrees… Signed Copies Only!
Who knew monarchy came with merch? In this gem, King Gustav III hosts a book signing for his self-published decree collection. The blend of medieval and modern-day book marketing makes this one wildly clever — and oddly plausible.
#3 Everything’s on Fire… Literally.
The “Everything Flambé” restaurant comic is a hot mess — in the best way possible. Two firefighters stare at a charred building while realizing maybe the theme was a bit too… literal. The irony is served flaming, and it’s deliciously funny.
#4 Brutal Honesty, Child Edition.
Chess gets intense when a sassy kid crushes her dad’s ego, asking, “I thought Mom said you were smart?” It’s savage, it’s hilarious, and it’s probably based on a true story. Parental pride: 0, Kid wit: 1.
#5 Fourth Wall, Meet Cell Signal.
In “Cartoon Panel Repair Near Me,” a guy Googles his way out of a torn comic panel. It’s a brilliant meta joke for cartoon lovers, and a reminder that even comic characters aren’t safe from smartphone dependency.
#6 The Stand-Up Legacy.
What’s more literal than a headstone being vertically hoisted? A man’s dying wish was to “be remembered as a stand-up guy,” and they took it seriously. It’s dark, dry, and exactly the kind of viral humor people love.
#7 Kevin, This Is Why You Die First.
In a horror-movie spoof, one guy suggests splitting up — because “that’ll fool the maniac.” You know Kevin won’t make it past the first commercial break. A brilliant parody of every slasher cliché we love to mock.
#8 Corporate Suicide, Lemming Style.
“Lemmings LLC” hits the boardroom with a dive — literally. As a graph plummets, the presenter casually asks, “Any questions?” It’s a hilariously grim take on corporate decline with a side of evolutionary humor.
#9 Caveman Economics 101.
“Lost my hunting-gathering job when agriculture came along,” says a prehistoric guy on rock. If ever there was a Neolithic version of LinkedIn rants, this would be it. It’s job loss with a Stone Age twist.
#10 Mid-Air Rescue: Mom Edition.
A police chase turns acrobatic as a woman casually saves the day by slapping one burglar into another mid-jump. It’s part superhero, part slapstick, and 100% viral worthy.
#11 The Couch Conundrum.
A dog stares at an abandoned couch, mentally battling years of conditioning. “Bad dog!” echoes in his head, despite the freedom. It’s hilariously relatable — for any pet (or person) with trust issues and emotional baggage.
#12 Excuses, Now in Prescription Form.
A man asks his doctor to fake an injury just to skip helping a friend move. This one nails the universal truth: no one wants to help you move. Even science agrees.
#13 Too Many Hands, Not Enough Spray.
As a woman desperately rummages for pepper spray, her multi-armed panic perfectly captures purse chaos. It’s cartoon anxiety at its peak — and instantly shareable for every overstuffed handbag owner.
#14 Plastic with Dreams.
Plastic bags as sentient beings? One writes home about reaching the Pacific — “number one on his bucket list!” It’s an eco-comic with heart and a twist that’s both funny and a little haunting.
#15 Terrible With Names Anonymous.
“Hi, I’m Dale.” “Dale?! I thought it was Dan.” “Larry, right?” — it’s a mess of mistaken identities in a support group for name-forgetters. So awkward. So real. So funny.
#16 Tiny Homes Gone Too Far.
A shrinking formula meets real estate when “Micro Realtors” try to literally downsize their clients. Minimalist living, but make it microscopic. The absurdity is genius.
#17 Grave Humor, Reanimated.
Frank’s tombstone reads, “I’m not gone, I’m just away.” When he appears mid-funeral, things go full sitcom zombie. A darkly hilarious take on commitment — or lack thereof.
#18 E-Newsletter Nightmare.
Scrooge isn’t haunted by ghosts — but by cringe-worthy family email updates. “Delete delete delete” has never felt more like a battle cry. Modern problems, meet Dickensian dread.
#19 Speed Bump Saga.
A stairlift gets cited for “speeding” and Mrs. Gunderson is the unlikely rebel behind the handlebars. This one turns aging and bureaucracy into gold — and we’re here for it.
#20 Food Photo Fatigue.
“Did you get the cruise pics?” “All 87 of them… of food?” This comic speaks to our collective exhaustion with over-shared vacation meals. Relatable and ruthlessly accurate.
