5. “Smart Fella Raccoon” by giovanniiiii
In this design by giovanniiiii, a raccoon turned philosopher offers us a bit of sage advice. This piece not only tickles the funny bone but also brings a dose of nostalgic humor, reminding us of those dad jokes that framed our childhoods. As user amberisreal puts it, “If your dad didn’t say this joke on a weekly basis then you didn’t have childhood lol 😂” — a sentiment that surely resonates with many.
4. “Holiday” by Liz Climo
Liz Climo brings to life the eternal struggle with holiday decorations in a comic that’s too real. A bear, faced with the Sisyphean task of untangling Christmas lights, opts for a more…relaxed approach. The humor lies in the simplicity of the scene, a bear and his untangled lights, embodying the holiday spirit of ‘it’s the thought that counts.’ User haeschenbaerenbande expresses our thoughts perfectly: “It’s the only way to hang these lights 😃🐻🐇.”
3. “I’m Not Like the Other Girls” by meandthemoon
This design throws a curveball into the mix with a raccoon proclaiming, “I’m not like other girls, I’m much worse.” It’s a playful jab at the often-echoed phrase, wrapped in the cuteness of our favorite nocturnal creature. User come_again_karen perfectly captures the essence with “It’s giving ✨feral✨ and I’m here for it.” It’s humor with a side of raw honesty, and we’re all here for it.
2. “At the Beach” by wawawiwa
Ever felt like a cauliflower in a world of broccolis? This illustration is a heartwarming and hilarious take on the beach-going experience, pitting the ever-tanned broccoli against the sunburn-prone cauliflower. It’s a gentle reminder that we’re all unique, and sometimes, feeling like a cauliflower is perfectly okay. User mireiacb86 says it best: “how can I feel attacked by the drawing of a broccoli 😂.”
1. “trying!” by lousydrawings
At the pinnacle of our list is a masterpiece of chaos, humor, and a dash of existential dread — a bizarre creature riding a shooting star, screaming into the void, “Holy shit I am trying.” It’s a sentiment that, in one way or another, encapsulates the collective struggle and perseverance of our times. The comments from frogwitch—“The lil booty hole 😂”—and shaesomething—“I’m hanging by a thread tonight and this made me laugh so hard I almost shit myself”—reflect the raw, unfiltered joy and relatability found in this piece.
