20 Best Comics that promise to tickle your brain, poke your funny bone, and maybe even make you snort your coffee. From cloud-shaped confusion to politically incorrect pigeons, these handpicked gems from The Flying McCoys are a reminder that humor lives in life’s smallest absurdities.
About the Artist – Glenn & Gary McCoy
Glenn and Gary McCoy, the sibling duo behind The Flying McCoys, have been making people laugh in newspapers and online syndicates for over two decades. Their work is known for its offbeat humor, quick wit, and exaggerated, expressive cartoon characters. Syndicated by Andrews McMeel, their comics appear in hundreds of publications worldwide. Their signature style? A delicious mix of visual absurdity and one-liner zingers that are both clever and delightfully dumb. And that’s exactly why we love them.
#1 Stupid Cloud, Stupid Life
Two kids gaze at the clouds, seeing turtles and dogs in the sky. Below them, a very real dog, tired of being mistaken for vapor, grumbles “Stupid cloud.” Comedy gold in one fluffy visual.
#2 Honesty in Media
A news anchor passes the dangerous reporting gig to a less handsome colleague because, well, “he doesn’t have my square chin.” If only all networks were this brutally honest.
#3 Laundry Smarts
A dog sarcastically denies using the wrong wash setting on his collar. The deadpan delivery from a dog holding a laundry guide makes this a top-tier domestic drama parody.
#4 Pizza Logic 101
Ordering a pizza overnight from New York just to avoid tipping? Genius or madness? This cartoon roasts cheapness better than a Brooklyn pie.
#5 Turbulent Relationship
In-flight announcements take a turn when the captain’s wife leans in from coach to tell him how to drive the plane. There’s no escape—not even at 30,000 feet.
#6 Deserted Commitment
A man stranded on a deserted island finally overcomes his fear of commitment… probably because his options are down to one palm tree and a volleyball.
#7 Dreading the Lobbyists Talk
The parental moment everyone dreads isn’t “where babies come from,” but “where lobbyists come from.” Politics has never been this awkwardly hilarious.
#8 Dr. B’s Questionable Doors
Design fail of the year goes to the medical office with doors that look like… well, let’s just say Dr. B’s proctology clinic could use a remodel.
#9 YouTube Cats Win Again
“I’m a dog person too,” says a character holding a cat, “but cats have more YouTube appeal.” The dog in this frame is all of us—forgotten by the algorithm.
#10 Monitor-Free & Proud
Fresh out of house arrest, a man brags to his buddy about losing the ankle monitor. The secondhand embarrassment practically radiates off the page.
#11 Maze Reject
In a psychology lab, a rat turns down a traditional maze and asks for one with an “open floor plan.” Even rodents have taste now.
#12 17 to Tango
At the “Center for the Study of Dance,” it apparently takes 17 people to tango—and even then, it’s a mess. A chaotic masterpiece of footwork and flailing limbs.
#13 Basement Bird Son
Two birds on a tree complain their 30-year-old son still lives in their nest. Avian millennial jokes? Yes please.
#14 Bond, Dishwashing Bond
A villain asks, “Do you expect me to wash these dishes?” The reply? “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to dry!” An epic James Bond twist for the chore-doers of the world.
#15 Copyright “Hellz” Angels
This biker gang is actually made of copyright lawyers. Their jackets say “Hellz Angels” with reckless disregard, and somehow, it’s scarier than the real thing.
#16 Nothing to Worry About
A man in a full hazmat suit tells a homeowner, “Nothing to worry about.” Spoiler: that’s never true.
#17 Stunt Husband
After yelling at her husband, a woman realizes she was scolding a stunt double. Now that’s commitment to conflict avoidance.
#18 Business Trip of Shame
An employee is handed $20 for a “fully paid business trip” to the office supply store. The deadpan delivery is the kind of corporate humor that hits a little too close.
#19 Alien Grass Envy
A man explains mowing the lawn to a visiting alien. The alien listens, wide-eyed, then pleads to be taken with him. Same, buddy. Same.
#20
