One Panel Comics Review You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s talk one panel comics—and yes, this is your official cartoon review. If you’ve ever wanted a shot of pure wit, a quick laugh, and maybe a dash of “did they really just say that?” you’ve landed on the right article. We’re diving deep into the brilliant, sometimes absurd, always hilarious world of John Floyd Campbell, the artist behind these punchy single-panel gems.
Meet the Artist: John Floyd Campbell
So, who is the mind behind the madness? John Floyd Campbell is one of those rare cartoonists who can deliver a belly laugh in under five seconds—one glance at his work and you’ll understand why. Campbell’s comics have appeared everywhere from independent humor magazines to viral meme pages, and his unmistakable style combines classic ink line work with the occasional pop of color (usually reserved for maximum comedic effect). Over his career, Campbell has picked up more than a few fans—and a couple of cartooning awards, too
1. “Can You Believe This? Normandy Beach’s Only Day Off”
This comic is a masterclass in deadpan. A sunbather, finally off duty, is flanked by charging soldiers invading Normandy—her only day off, naturally. Campbell’s one panel comics deliver this blend of historic absurdity and sharp wit better than anyone. Imagine “Saving Private Ryan,” but with more SPF 50 and snark.

2. “Who Said There Aren’t Stupid Questions?”
If you’ve ever been to a family gathering, you’ve probably heard this exact conversation. Two women chat while Bob snoozes away in the background—proof that, yes, some questions really are stupid. Campbell nails that universal, almost painful truth with just a few pen strokes. This one panel cartoon review: 10/10 for relatable content.

3. “He Knows All the Old Songs”
A pterodactyl serenades a crowd of birds atop power lines. You can almost hear the prehistoric jazz. It’s a ridiculous visual and Campbell is the only artist who’d go there—and stick the landing.

4. “Never Hire an Honest Minister”
The dearly departed Bob is remembered with… brutal honesty. This single-panel cartoon is savage, hilarious, and just the kind of zinger that makes Campbell’s one panel comics pop.

5. “He’s Handsome But Very Narrow-Minded”
A handsome guy strolls by lockers, but his head is literally… well, narrow. The visual pun is so satisfying you’ll groan and giggle at the same time.

6. “Ood-gay Orning-may Y-may Iend-fray”
Pig Latin, farm style. Two pigs chat by a red barn and prove that even barnyard humor is safe in Campbell’s hands.

7. “Hey, I Thought We Couldn’t Take Anything With Us?”
In line for the afterlife, some people just can’t let go of their luggage (or sports gear). A playful poke at mortality—and airline baggage fees.

8. “For the Umpteenth Time, Marge Found Bob’s Car Keys in the Freezer”
If you’ve ever lost your keys in a truly illogical place, you’ll feel seen by this comic. It’s observational humor at its finest.

9. “You’ve Gotta See This”
A dog brags about a game of fetch while two cats remain thoroughly unimpressed. Campbell knows that every household has a dog who thinks he’s invented fetch.

10. “You Have Great Credentials, But You Don’t Fit Our Company Profile”
A biting jab at corporate culture, complete with three identical interviewers. Too real? Maybe. Too funny? Definitely.

11. “His Personal Magnetism Was Irresistible”
A visual gag so absurd you have to stare at it for a second. If you love comics that reward a closer look, this one panel is pure gold.

12. “Fred’s First Out-of-Body Experience”
When “losing your head” becomes literal. Campbell’s surreal side really shines in these moments.

13. “I See You’re Letting Little Grok-Grok Draw on the Walls Again”
Parenting struggles: now with 100% more cave art. This prehistoric comic is basically every frustrated parent since the dawn of time.

14. “Bonjour. Je suis monsieur Ed.”
A horse named Blaze misses out on TV stardom because he doesn’t speak English. Classic Campbell—taking a familiar trope and flipping it.

15. “May It Please the Court…”
When your lawyer tries out stand-up comedy in the courtroom. For everyone who’s ever sat through a bad joke at a bad time.

16. “And Now I Have a Few Questions For You”
Therapy, couples counseling, or maybe just the world’s most awkward first date—the ambiguity makes it even funnier.

17. “Before GPS”
Directions, before Siri ruined road trips for everyone. One wrong turn, one steep cliff, all the comedy.

18. “Johnson Carefully Thinks Through Each Step Before Getting Started”
That feeling when procrastination is the plan. Johnson, we salute your commitment to doing nothing.

19. “Presidential Powers: Like a King”
Sharp political satire that feels timely and timeless. Campbell doesn’t pull punches—he draws them.

20. “These Teenagers and Their Hoodies”
Only Campbell could find a way to make nudist colony humor about fashion trends. The punchline is as bare as the characters.
