35 Funny Comics With Unexpected Twists That Poke Fun At Our Society By ToonHole Comics
Ryan Kramer, aka ToonHole Ryan, draws hilarious comics with unexpected twists that give us new insights into how weird our world really is. He’s part of ToonHole—a group of friends who illustrate funny cartoons. Together with his buddies Chris, John, and Mike, Ryan posts awesome content online on Monday and Friday for all of us to enjoy.
Ryan’s currently directing on Looney Tunes at Warner Bros. and he says that apart from making comics, he likes raising kids, enjoys meditation, fitness, and philosophy. He’s a real polymath who also loves breakfast burritos. And who can blame him for that? I mean, who doesn’t like breakfast burritos? Ryan has also released a book called “Don’t Leave Me Hanging” that is chock full of his gag comics. Scroll down for Bored Panda's in-depth interview with Ryan to learn more about his art and creative process! Don't forget to upvote your fave comics and let us know in the comments what you think of them.
The ToonHole dudes have been together since 2010 and all together they’ve drawn more than 1k comics (not to mention some animations as well). You can check out Bored Panda’s post about Ryan’s pal Chris Allison’s cartoons right here and our other post about the entire ToonHole gang’s awesome comics right here.

Ryan told Bored Panda that he’s inspired to keep drawing because he gets a satisfying feeling when he finishes something he likes. “It’s extra rewarding if my readership receives it well, too,” he added.
“I developed my style through a fondness of classic cartoons and MAD magazine. I’m also inspired by my peers in the animation industry and the webcomic world,” the illustrator revealed.
We were also interested to find out how Ryan and his friends met and founded ToonHole. “I met the other ToonHole guys in college and we bonded over a love of old cartoons and similar drawing sensibilities. It’s always a challenge to grow your audience consistently since media platforms are always evolving and moving the goalposts. It’s also a challenge to get big accounts and content aggregators to appropriately credit your shared work,” he shared some of the challenges that they as creators faced.

“Writing a good comic means I have to allow time for my mind to wander so I can capture an idea worth drawing,” Ryan told Bored Panda about his creative process. “A comic from start to finish is usually anywhere from 2 to 6 hours depending on complexity and style.”
Ryan added that he feels extremely grateful to have the readership and support that he’s amassed over the last 10 years. “I hope my work ushers a little more joy into the world because making these has surely given me immense pleasure.”
More than 99k people follow Ryan on Instagram and he has nearly 5.5k fans each on Facebook and on Twitter.

Ryan’s friend Chris previously told Bored Panda a bit about what inspiration is like for him personally and gave us some more insights into how the ToonHole squad looks at art and creativity.
For Chris, inspiration is like magic and can come from anywhere: “A conversation, a book, an overheard conversation, a misheard word, or seeing somebody trip on the sidewalk. There are no rules!”
The entire ToonHole gang of friends has different approaches to art and their creative processes. For example, Chris told us that he likes to mix it up and draws some comics digitally and some using analog materials like ink, watercolor, and colored pencil. For Chris, it takes him roughly 3 hours to finish a single comic starting from the thumbnail to the finished piece.

evolution states that the features that still remain are superior traits one way or another.
Somewhat incorrect. Long term evolution (the more day to day one) selects against detrimental traits while neutral and good ones "progresses". You seem to be thinking of short term evolution (very rapid and big changes in environments, like the dinosaur extinction) is the only that only selects for good traits.

Closer than microbial. Fish and humans are both vertibrates, so we are more closely related than more than half the animals in the world, much less plants, fungi, and microbes.
The president is on an official state visit to China and as part of the grand welcome put on by the hosts, he is taken on a tour of a state of the art aquarium holding a vast number of different sea creatures in tanks large and small. In one big tank, there is only one single fish, a most unusual one. It is a fish that if a human makes eye contact with it, it can't look away, and as if it mesmerized, it will swim wherever the eye-movements direct it to go. A handler shows how it is done and, after a few laughs, the party moves on. Minutes later, they realize that the foreign president is no longer with them and guards are sent back in a hurry to find him. They found him standing in front of the fish tank, firmly staring into the eyes of the fish, slowly, rhythmically, opening and closing his mouth...
Evolution doesn’t work that way. Let me actually wake up first. The gist is the individuals who have the genotype and phenotypes that confer advantageous qualities in an environment would be more likely to live long enough to procreate. The changes in the environment could also one day render those advantageous qualities useless or a liability. EdIT: and then those little monsters are more likely to procreate —> individuals with/and the advantageous traits spread in the population.
I'm totally clueless of half of what you said, I just find it funny that the fish and the guy look similar. thanks for the quick gist. XD
