The Funniest Six Single-Panel Cartoons On The Internet
Comedy’s real king may have you fooled. You might be surprised that more people view newspaper and Internet cartoons than all the funny movies, sitcoms, late night shows, and stand-up comedians put together.
This should actually come as no surprise. In today’s fast-paced world, many simply do not have time to get their “humor fix” within a thirty minute or hour period. If you really think about it, even when listening to a joke, these days, in person, if it goes beyond twenty to thirty seconds, they have lost you.
Cartoons tell the whole story fast, and a good cartoon tells it faster and funnier than a bad one. and, it may take a few more seconds for the reader to “get it”, based on their own “laughter quotient”, but it can be quite satisfying, and does the trick. Even modern medicine agrees that surrounding oneself with good cartoon humor can boost the immune system, as laughter releases endorphins that help protect it.
My point is not to tell you to boycott Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Conan, or reruns of Frazier or Seinfeld. They are all very funny, to me, and many others, and I have to see a film in the genre of “Being There”, “Meet The Fokkers” or even an Austin Powers once in awhile. But when I have time.
Meantime, in today’s world, which is loaded with both joys and disappointments daily, it is nice, no pertinent to have a quick humor fix. No other venue can do that like a cartoon, specifically a single panel cartoon, which, if not wordy, does the trick fast and furious.
Here is my review of some of my favorite single-panel cartoons in the order of which I think they satisfy and/or are the funniest. Of course all humor is subjective, so you may have another take on it. In any case, these are my top 6 choices. Londons Times Cartoons is one you might want to bookmark as there are over 8000 cartoons by Rick London and they are funny. Off TheMark by Mark Parisi also has a large inventory but not quite the size as Londons Times. Londons Times are 99% in color, which makes them even more appealing.
