50 Hilarious Comics With Unexpected Twists And Turns, By “The New Yorker” Cartoonist (New Pics)
There is no better way to start your week than to have a few good chuckles. And today, we would like to reintroduce you to the hilarious Will McPhail.
Will is the artist behind simply clever cartoons that we are sure you will enjoy. Besides cheering up his devoted following on Instagram of 204K people, Will also gets his comics published in the New Yorker. As the artist previously shared, besides all the dread behind creative blocks, Will loves his job and would not trade it for anything else.

Hint: Fill the pinata with ketchup and you will never be asked to contribute to the party again.
Previously Will shared that he doesn’t really have any artistic qualifications. "In fact, I actually studied zoology at university. Because when you ask a seventeen-year-old what they want to do with their life, they always make the correct decision. Thirty grand and four years of my life is a small price to pay for the three armadillo facts that I now know. I’ve had creative ideas and did drawings all my life, though. Or at least as long as I’ve known about pencils,” wrote Will.

Therapist throws man a triangle to mend him, and he thinks everyone else needs the same? Dunno, this one was a bit obscure for me.

That's how I read it. What fixes you doesn't necessarily work for everyone else, they have different needs.

Yep. People who just discovered Jesus are also often like this. It's great when people finally find some answers that make a real difference in their lives, but continued egocentrism can prevent them from sharing it effectively.

To be fair, I betcha a couple of those triangles could serve to help the square girl.

I did not notice the chest holes at first. Makes sense, thinks his cure is what everyone needs. There's layers to ponder. Like it.

Huh, only seen a version with a hippo before. Though this one probably gets the point across better.

As the creative process goes, Will shared that his week is usually built around The New Yorker’s submission schedule so, as the artist wrote: “I spend most of the week pouring a stream of consciousness all over a Moleskine in the hope that there will be 8-10 decent ideas in there by the time submission day comes around. Then I draw those ideas up and send them off!”

Despite having to deal with creative block, Will shared that he loves his work. “I genuinely love doing the work of it. The part where it’s like 9:30 pm, I’ve got a gin and tonic, I’ve got my headphones on, and I’m just quietly drawing away, I love it so much,” wrote the artist.

Don't you hate it when the landlord is so lazy that he just paints over the previous tenant?
“All I’m ever really hoping for is that the people who see my cartoons and read my books will say: ‘Yep, he can keep doing that’. Because that means I get to do the work part again.”

So it'll get stuck halfway down and need a good jolt to get going again? Because that's what happens when I try it.

Ok, I get it's a sign of buzz off and whatnot showing that the old way of trying to pick someone up is outdated or whatever this is trying to convey I don't actually know, but geez if you're not interested just make sure it's on their tab, and tell them something like thanks but I'm not interested, this just seems a tad bit rude, sorry for the rambling but I somehow control it less on the internet than in real life because I don't want my message or paragraph in this case misconstrued and for me to look like a jack a*s or an insensitive prick, and that might sound selfish but whatever

If I like the work of an artist, I don’t care what they eat at noon, if they are in druugs or the color of their socks on full moon nights, but when it gets really bad, i don't want to supporte them anymore (Gauguin for example)

If the artist is still making money of your support of their art, then you literally cannot separate the art from them. I hate that HP Lovecraft was a bigot, but he's long since dead, so it's not a problem to buy his art. If you buy art from a known bigot who is actively using their money to hurt said minorities they don't like... You are contributing to the problem by doing so.

It is based on a the doctor's son riddle, variation of it below. A father and son were in a car accident where they were both seriously injured. The ambulance brought the son to the hospital. He needed immediate surgery. In the operating room, a doctor came in and looked at the little boy and said I can't operate on him he is my son. Who is the doctor?

Someone with an english degree please tell me if this sentence is gramatically correct I'm dying right now.
Jon Mock 1 year ago
Apparently it is, it's the third person plural. The "they" form. Don't is a contraction of do not. Doesn't is a contraction of does not. You wouldn't say they does not love each other, it would they do not. It's funny to see it as a contraction there though. Gives it a right, proper English accent if you read it jus right.

Uff, this hit a little too close to home. I was a tiny child with ADHD who couldn't keep their eyes on the ball for more than 2 seconds without getting whacked in the face. Needless to say, my classmates would pick the weird kid that ate paste over me even though I could run damn fast for my size. I still have repressed memories of gym class and the nasty bullies. I find it ironic that all my hobbies now are outdoor and water sports.

Humpty Dumpty being an egg comes from the sequel to Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass.

During the English Civil War, a cannon nicknamed Humpty Dumpty was stationed on the walls of Colchester. Is this relevant to that, or is it just the nursery rhyme?
Apatheist Account2 1 year ago
No-one knows. That's one theory, but there are others. Nursery rhymes were often political satire.

Oh god, this actually happened to me once. A small rodent crawled into my car when I wasn't looking. It chewed up the paper towels in the back seat and built a nest way back in the air vent. A couple days later, I'm driving, it's hot, so I turn on the AC. A chunky dust storm of c**p blasted me right in the face. My eyes immediately became red, swollen, horribly itchy, while I was choking on it with irritated lungs. It was bad. Then I realized what had happened and that I was literally breathing rat feces. On the bright side, I was driving the car to its new owner at the time, so....

Oy. We had to replace our central air last summer because mice chewed through the wiring. It went out on Friday before Independence Day. Couldn’t get a replacement installed until Monday. We were not happy about spending the 90°+ weekend without AC.
