Some comics aim to impress with complex plots or elaborate artwork. Daniel Mok, the creator behind The Mokumentary series, takes a refreshingly different approach. His comics draw humor from the simple moments we all experience but rarely stop to examine. His humor rarely demands attention; instead, it quietly sneaks up on readers, often landing a second after they reach the final panel.

One of Daniel’s greatest strengths is his ability to communicate a lot with very little. His clean, colorful art style keeps the focus firmly on the joke, while his expressive characters make every awkward pause, disappointed sigh, and overexcited reaction feel surprisingly real. Many of the comics rely on subtle twists rather than obvious punchlines, rewarding readers who pay close attention to the final panel. The storytelling may appear simple on the surface, but each setup is carefully crafted to ensure the ending works.

Scroll down to see more of his newest creations, and you may find yourself laughing at situations you have been living through all along.

    The last panel also contrasts what many people used to think would happen as automation advanced (ala the Jetsons) vs. what actually happened.

    The other day I was talking with a client who told me he's retired, and asked about when I'll be (we'd been joking on how the age of retirement in France has been messed up with recently). I heard myself say "sounds like I'm only getting to be tired once and not re-tired" and realized it was such a dad joke that I instantly felt my jeans shortening to shorts, a mustache growing and three kids appearing next to me.

    Your professors don't want you to just tell them the answer---they want you to work it out for yourself and learn something in the process. Your boss probably just wants the answer as cheaply and quickly as possible.

    Cooking a single meal once doesn't make sense. You should cook multiple meals in one session. And a lot of the ingredients you buy won't get used up, so the next cooking will be cheaper. With only a little planning, cooking is WAY cheaper than eating out!

    Knowing "6-7" came in handy last night when I was at one of the local marché nocturnes. I was taking a friend's 9-year-old daughter around the market to look for little gifts for her and her sisters when she broke into a pun with 6-7 and I about wet my pants. She was so grateful that someone understood and reacted to her joke positively that she stayed with me the rest of the evening.

    I looked it up - double meaning in mixed Japanese and Malay. It can mean "soulmate wait please" or it can mean "please wait a moment".
