Parenting humor comics that get it—and get you laughing.

#1 The Social Media Escape Fails Spectacularly

There’s nothing quite like seeking refuge from your screaming kids… only to be greeted by the screaming adults on social media. This comic captures that brutal switch from kid chaos to internet toxicity, and the resigned realization that books might be your only safe haven. Brian nails that “anywhere but here” feeling every parent has.

#2 Love Grows (and Crashes) Hard

Parenthood has a way of multiplying your capacity for love—and your shock when more is expected of you. In this strip, a giant heart literally drops on our duck dad’s head, catching him off guard in the most metaphorical way possible. It’s absurd, sweet, and totally accurate to how love grows when you least expect it.

#3 When Your House Looks Like a Crime Scene

You walk through the door and it’s chaos—your mind races: was it burglars? Vandals? Nope. It’s just the kids again. The contrast between panic and exhausted acceptance is comedic gold, and honestly, every parent has had this moment. Brian’s expressions say it all.

#4 The 3,692-Step Wake-Up Process

Getting kids out of bed is less of a routine and more of an endurance sport. From sweet lullabies to legal threats, this comic perfectly dramatizes the parenting escalation technique. Also, “It’s the LAW!” may be the most underrated motivational quote ever.

#5 Bedtime Trickery 101

Here’s a genius parenting tip: the moment your child claims they’re “not sleepy,” offer them chores. Suddenly, they’re Olympic-level sleepers. This comic is a hilarious nod to reverse psychology and how clever parents get when exhaustion hits.

#6 Time Management—But Make It Worse

Just when you think you’re the reason you’re always late, you meet your children. This one-panel punchline is so real it hurts. Brian’s minimalist layout enhances the punch—and that toddler duck’s expression is everything.

#7 The “Deserve” Paradox

After a long day of parenting, you deserve a drink… or do you? This comic captures that tragic arc from “I earned this!” to “I regret this,” and it’s painfully funny. It’s a parenting rite of passage—and also a subtle PSA.

#8 Invisible Powers and Broccoli Lies

Every parent has stretched the truth a little. In this one, a kid believes broccoli gives her superpowers—and her dad is all in on the delusion. The delivery is perfect, and the unspoken parenting pact of “just go with it” is hilariously alive here.

#9 Nobody Wants to Go—But Everyone Does

This comic sums up about 50% of parenting: dragging your kids (and yourself) to events no one wants to attend. It’s funny, real, and a little too honest. The body language in the ducks? Spot on.

#10 Milestones That Matter

First kiss. Birth of children. New Apple product release. Brian Gordon hilariously balances the sentimental with the superficial in this one. And honestly, who among us hasn’t screamed over a shiny new device? The comic hits just the right note of nerdy-parent joy.
