About the Artist Dave Whamond
Cartoonist Dave Whamond is the creative genius behind the “Reality Check” comic series, featured in this review of the Top Funny Cartoons. With a career spanning over three decades, Whamond has made his mark in the world of syndicated comics and illustration. His witty punchlines, clever wordplay, and zany characters have earned him multiple nominations for the prestigious National Cartoonists Society awards. He’s also a Silver Reuben Award winner, celebrated for both his single-panel comics and children’s books.
Whamond’s signature themes include sharp takes on modern life, puns that never quit, and a colorful, slightly off-kilter art style that feels instantly familiar but never stale. If you crave comics that blend observational humor with absurdity (and a dash of classic comic charm), Whamond’s panels are a must-see
1. “Your Call Is Important To Us…” – Phone Hold Hell!
This cartoon brilliantly captures the universal agony of automated phone systems. The artist channels every customer’s frustration, adding an absurd twist: what if you could chat with fellow annoyed callers? The punchline about “fabulous jazzy music for 4 hours” is an all-too-relatable gut punch for anyone who’s lost a piece of their soul on hold. Proof that the best comic strips find humor in our shared suffering!
2. “Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One” – Roadblock Riff
Nothing halts your day quite like a construction detour—or a dad joke with a traffic sign! The setup is simple, but the delayed punchline (literally) nails the classic humor of timing, making you groan and grin at once. If you’ve ever sat in traffic, this one’s for you.
3. “Iron Man, Tin Man…Aluminum Man?” – Monster Mashup
When kaiju attack, who knew their real nemesis would be the periodic table? This gag mashes up superhero lore and wordplay for a nerdy, delightful laugh. King Kong’s expression? Priceless. Only the top funny cartoons turn a city-smashing monster into the setup for a chemistry joke!
4. “OHMLESS” – Lightbulb Low Point
Burned out and literally “ohmless,” this cartoon features a lightbulb down on its luck. The visual pun is so smart you’ll wish you thought of it first. Extra points for the existential energy crisis vibes!
5. “Play the Bee Side!” – Birds and the Bees Groove
A bird spinning its favorite record (“The Byrds,” of course) faces off with a disgruntled bee who wants his “bee side.” Pure musical pun genius! This panel’s zippy dialogue and visual humor prove why these are among the best comic strips for quick, satisfying laughs.
6. “Yetis-Burg Address” – Historical Howler
A yeti delivers a snow-packed parody of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. If you love wordplay and presidential puns, this is as abominably funny as it gets.
7. “Luigi Board” – Supernatural Game Night
Paranormal activity meets video game royalty. Luigi tries out a Ouija board and—who else?—Mario answers. A+ for nerdy crossover appeal and playful art!
8. “Mirror Shock” – Middle-Age Truth Bomb
Catching a glimpse of yourself nude in the mirror is the “reality check” nobody wants. This strip finds the humor in aging and body image, with an honest punchline that lands with a laugh and a wince.
9. “Lactose Intolerant Scream” – Art History Twist
Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” meets its true nemesis: a picture of an ice cream cone. Only the best comic strips dare to remix fine art with lactose intolerance jokes!
10. “The Fairytale Census” – Storybook Stat Attack
Three blind mice, three bears, three pigs—it’s always three! This double-wide strip parodies census-taking in a fairytale land, with sharp gags for fairy tale fans and number nerds alike.
11. “Butt Dial vs. Booty Call?” – Phone Faux Pas
What’s the difference? Let’s hope you never find out! This witty strip leans into miscommunication in the mobile age with a perfectly deadpan delivery.
12. “Face Lights Up” – Pumpkinhead Pick-Up
Ever wish a guy’s face would light up when you walk into a room? Careful what you wish for—a pumpkinhead might answer! The visual gag steals the show.
13. “TMI Fridays” – Extreme Burrito Warning
Restaurant oversharing hits a new high. The waiter’s brutal honesty is both horrifying and hilarious—dining out has never been so dangerous.
14. “Resume Gap” – Grocery Store Gauntlet
Struggling to open those impossible plastic produce bags is now a full-time job. This strip nails everyday frustrations, making them laugh-out-loud funny.
15. “Fashion Police Trial” – Tacky Pants Justice
“If the tacky pants don’t fit, you must acquit!” A courtroom pun so groanworthy, you’ll find yourself both rolling your eyes and craving more
16. “Computer Yelling” – Tech Support Meltdown
Arguing with a computer that’s not even on? Been there, screamed at that. The punchline about yelling at his own reflection is next-level self-awareness.
17. “Genes vs. Jeans” – Lab Coat Confusion
A scientist’s confusion between “genes” and “jeans” gives new meaning to fashion research. The top funny cartoons always manage to blend science and slapstick.
18. “Over-Explainer” – Vocabulary Overload
Ever met someone who can’t help but explain…everything? This strip’s barrage of synonyms is a word nerd’s delight—and a cautionary tale for overthinkers everywhere.
19. “Pharaoh Rocher” – Ancient Chocolate Craving
Who knew Tutankhamun was full of nutty chocolate? The combination of history and candy is a perfect recipe for a laugh.
20. “Placebo Effect” – Doctor Rock Playlist
Song lyrics become medical diagnoses in this musical medicine mashup. The final panel’s “placebo” joke is a sweet (and surprisingly smart) closer.
