today New Comics bring the perfect mix of relatable struggles and absurd humor. From forgotten holidays to bizarre interpretations of national days, each panel is a snapshot of chaotic brilliance. Let’s jump into 20 of Dave Whamond’s freshest, funniest takes!
Meet Dave Whamond: Cartoonist of the Absurd and Awesome
Dave Whamond is the genius behind Reality Check, a long-running comic series known for its offbeat takes on everyday life. With a style that’s bold, colorful, and instantly recognizable, Whamond blends visual wit with smart one-liners that hit you when you least expect it. He’s a multiple-time finalist for the National Cartoonists Society’s top awards and has contributed to magazines, greeting cards, and children’s books. Whether he’s roasting pop culture, animal behavior, or national holidays, Dave has an uncanny ability to make the ridiculous seem… totally normal.
#1 Herb Alert: Chicken’s Worst Nightmare
National Herbs & Spices Day takes a hilarious turn when a terrified chicken realizes he’s surrounded by flavor-enhancers. The punchline? He breaks out in chives. The anthropomorphized spice family and panicked poultry deliver pure gold.
#2 Who’s the Ugly One Now?
On National Ugliest Dog Day, this dog’s self-esteem takes a hit—until his human finds out it’s also Geek Hiking Day. The layered insult, paired with everyone questioning their presence in the cartoon, makes this an all-around roast fest.
#3 Clickbait Bait
Celebrating National Go Fishing Day with some literal clickbait is peak Whamond. Fish eyeing a phone displaying celebrity gossip on a hook? Satirical genius, and painfully relatable for anyone who’s fallen victim to an online rabbit hole.
#4 Sushi or Bait?
National Sushi Day gets dodgy when Jed’s Sushi and Bait Shop are next to each other. One says “We have worms!” and the dog confirms: “Same.” This comic might just ruin sushi for you… or make it funnier.
#5 Blood Donation Wisdom
World Blood Donor Day has a patient quoting Bill Murray before casually asking for his post-donation cookie and milkshake. A+ for tying humor, celebrity quotes, and snacks together in one neat panel.
#6 Namaste… In Bed
Yoga Day motivation is non-existent when the bed is this cozy. “Namaste in bed” is now your official excuse to skip morning stretches and snuggle deeper under the covers. Sorry, sun salutation.
#7 Homemade Soup in a Parallel Univers
This one’s… unsettling. National Homemade Soup Day becomes a Twilight Zone episode with humans in the pot. Chicken chefs? Human noodles? Disturbingly clever and incredibly unique.
#8 Dad Battle Royale
Father’s Day becomes a cage match between “World’s Best Dad” and “World’s #1 Dad.” The setup is silly, but the intensity is real. Only one dad can leave with the title. Cue dramatic music.
#9 Dogs Playing Poker—With a Real Kitty
National Card Playing Day shows dogs mid-poker game where someone “wins the kitty.” The kicker? A baffled cat actually sitting on the pot. Classic twist with a poker face payoff.
#10 Baby on Board—Literally
International Surfing Day shows a baby riding the waves with a “Baby on Board” surfboard. Equal parts alarming and adorable, this is the kind of comic you laugh at, then slowly back away from.
#11 The Cartoonist Comeback
At a party, someone questions what a cartoonist “makes.” The perfect reply? “People laugh.” A true mic-drop moment for creative professionals everywhere.
#12 Forklifted Portions
Forklift Safety Day sees a man using an actual forklift with a dinner fork attached. His partner’s portion control advice? Brutally honest. The visual pun alone is worth the laugh.
#13 Duck Goes Formal
Donald Duck wears pants on Donald Duck Day and Ziggy’s not ready for this “formal” attire. It’s a pop culture mashup that’s weird, funny, and perfectly timed.
#14 TV or the Great Beyond?
A woman tries to contact her “dead” husband with a psychic. Turns out he’s just zoned out in front of the TV. This one hits home… possibly a little too hard.
#15 Pigeon Hell Unleashed
National Pigeon Day highlights the cruelest fate: being a statue under a tree full of pigeons. The label “Pigeon Hell” seals the comedic doom. Oof.
#16 Wizard of Ads
The Wizard of Oz crew encounters a Ken doll in an ad placement nightmare. When asked what he’s missing, Ken says, “I’d rather not say.” We get it, Ken. We really do.
#17 Blanket with Sleeves: Too Soon?
Prehistoric inventors boast about fire and the wheel. One jumps the timeline to pitch “blanket with sleeves” and gets shut down. Dave time-traveled to roast modern infomercials—brilliant.
#18 Best Friend Boundarie
National Best Friends Day turns cold when a dog sets boundaries: slippers, yes; airport pickups, absolutely not. Real talk disguised as cute dog humor.
#19 Flip-Flop Decision Paralysis
Flip Flop Day becomes footwear anxiety central. Sandals? Crocs? Thongs? The dog’s inner plea—“Please don’t let it be the thongs”—is peak comedic timing.
#20 Peanut Butter Sadness Spiral
A jar of cookies becomes a therapy session gone wrong. “A cookie a day takes the sadness away… but the whole jar brings it back.” Sad? Maybe. Hilarious? Absolutely.
