Tyler Martin is no newbie when it comes to comics. Martin spent most of his time in high school in the art room. Whether it was lunch or one of the several made-up elective art classes he has had. Later, the self-taught artist and graphic designer started working in advertising and posting his digital art on the Web in the late nineties, creating a fairly popular site that had cartoon versions of rock bands. More projects followed but eventually, Martin found himself developing platforms and websites for publishing comics rather than creating them.
As time went by, however, he couldn't help but feel that something was missing. An outlet. Even though he wasn't producing comics, ideas kept swirling around in his head, begging the artist to let them loose. So Martin made a comeback. He reintroduced Wally and Osborne, a series about a lost polar bear that winds up in Antarctica and befriends a penguin and created Puddlemunch.
"Being much less restrictive than Wally and Osborne, Puddlemunch gives me the freedom to pretty much create any ridiculous scenario that pops into my mind," Martin told Bored Panda. These short strips perfectly show just how good of a storyteller Martin really is. Using only four panels to tell a joke, he develops interesting characters and surprising plots, all while reflecting the humorous world we live in.

I never understood those... they’re annoying and pointless and if a robot tried to get in I doubt that that would stop them
Ha ha, they are for bots... so like a computer program can't hack your account by endlessly trying passwords

"[With Puddlemunch], I poke fun at the levels of complexity we add to our otherwise simple existence," Martin explained the idea behind the series where animals make their appearances, too. "We are silly and we know it. We also have some dark realities: if we don't laugh, we'll cry."
As you might've seen, Puddlemunch has quite a few recurring characters. The artist joked that one day he may like them enough to actually name them. "The rabbit and bear kind of started it all so the two of them are close to my heart and will continue to show up," Martin reassured. "I'm envious of the rabbit's ability to live for the moment and by emotion and impulsiveness, but I play it too safe for that. We all need a bear in our life to keep us in line with a reality check."
I wouldn’t expect the tiny amount. I WOULD DRINK THE WHILE THING. UwU
Then there's the bald, yellow-shirt guy. "He is fun, just for the horrible things that happen to him and I can sometimes relate to being too passive in such a competitive world. Toby and his mustached dad are the dark-humored side of parenting that I have experienced as both a child and a parent." More is also planned for the extremist raccoon and his 'do what you gotta do' attitude.
"A lot of people like the twisted-conscience robber guy as well, I'll bring him back at some point."
If anything is certain, it's that Tyler hasn't lost his artistic touch. Even though there had been a hiatus in his career as a comics creator, he resumed things right where he had left them -- exposing the peculiar and the mundane through absurd humor.
This one is waaay to close for comfort. I take drug A for migraines, drug B for side effect 1, drug C for side effect 2, but B and C together create Side Affect 3, for which I take drug D, which causes migraines. *ARRRGGHHHhhhhwhimper*
Pretty much. This is how it is in America and there's so many drugs just for little things that you really don't need to be taking anything for.
I had a friend this is what the doctors did to her. She had over $1,000 of meds she took every month. Her daughter took her to a different doctors. He took everything away except her insulin. She had less than $200 a month , plus it halved her insulin.
A friend of mine called their dog Sid - he spent a lot of time sitting down poor fella!
I wonder if cats love empty boxes for a similar reason. Dun dun duuun
You think they are measuring it for that day when we become of no more use to them?

"it was the fratelli brothers" fratelli means brothers in Italian so it was the brothers brothers?
Fratelli literally means "brothers" in Italian. Just a bit of additional info.

Cats are babies.. They do get emotionally attatched even if they are brats 100% of the time. .. They're little kitty feelings are real & they love their owners.
From years of practising by pushing stuff off tables and work tops. Now you know why
🤣🤣 As a cat owner, I feel this. They definitely view me as expendable.
Well supposedly that's only been touched by clean hands. Nevertheless I always use my feet, legs, elbow, tongue or any other extension than my hands
You always rather use your tongue than your hands? Hmm...

I worked in a facility that was having them all removed for this fact alone.

Same. One New year's eve whilst at a restaurant they got my order wrong, which contained mushrooms, and even though I'm allergic to mushrooms I tried eating around them. I didn't want to complain or ask for a replacement or forfeit our meal, it was really busy and the server looked stressed. (Turns out mushrooms were in the sauce too) So let's just say I rang in the New Year in style... sigh.
Load More Replies...yep. i get extremely anxious about sending food back...i don't want to cause a scene or anything, so i usually keep it even if they got something wrong
You also probably wouldn't like to have someone's spit in your meal...
Load More Replies...Well if i paid for it then i want it done right. I would definitely tell the waiter politely that this is not what I ordered and i would like to get the right order. I wouldn't send it back though if it was really something minor, i would feel bad about wasting the food and incurring the restaurant extra cost. Be moderate about everything in life, know when to give people a free pass and also learn how to show your canines for a******s
Exactly. I used to be too shy and too nice in the past, but now, if these things happen, I help myself by thinking they probably switched orders with someone else and wouldn't want that other person to get upset about their meal. You can demand your rights without being an a*****e about it, actually. Sometimes you even get a small bonus as an apology for the inconvenience, if you're kind enough.

Ridiculous. That giant stone gives me the chills in the film and it did it here!
As a rule ....cats just like to be jerks and knock stuff off shelves, mantels, tables, counters, top of stairs etc. The situation it is framed from cinematically comes from the first Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

Sadly, this happens a lot. Not the murder bit, though. People will get a puppy for Christmas, then they don't want it anymore. Shelters get a ton of puppies after Christmas is over

And if you end up deciding to switch lines, you will find that the one you were already in is starting to move faster. Its really weird why it happens, maybe i am just unlucky
No, you're right, it happens to everyone. Literally everone. Which makes you wonder... *who is in the other line?*

Load More Replies...I used to think that greyhounds (not sure if this is supposed to be one, but it looks like it might be) would make poor pets - after all, they want to run a lot, right? But actually, they were bred for quick bursts of activity rather than stamina, and in the racing world they are kept individually in stables, like horses, and definitely don't get to run around every day. The normality of a working greyhound's life is little space, little attention and companionship, and rare exercise. They can sleep 18h a day! They are actually better suited pets for working people with small apartments than many (all?) other dog breeds.
You are right - they like several shorter walks a day. The way a lot of racing greyhounds are kept is not at all good - some friends of mine rehome retired greyhounds.
Load More Replies...I do like this comic. While I do think we should try our best not to be wasteful, I don't think that means forcing ourselves to eat all our food. Whether you throw the food away or continue to gorge yourself, it is a waste either way. Food is meant to be fuel. Eating past when we are full is a waste. Just my two cents no one asked for :)
WHY DO WRITE LIKE YOU NEED IT TO SURVIVE????
Load More Replies...I hate when people do this ... "he only wants to play", or, exactly like here - "train my dog, I'm too stupid to do that, but I wanted him!" - do both, do none. Decide completely, can't do half of it and think it is fine...
well my old dog also got into the habit of jumping on people, we had to knee her every time we came home and she jumped up on us. but then she figured out that we were the only ones who would knee her, and it was ok to jump up on other people. so if we invited someone over, we had to tell them ahead of time that if she jumped on them, it was ok to give her a little knee. moral of the story, they're not asking you to train their dog, they're just trying to rid their dog of a bad habit and need you to help. and if you were bored enough to read this whole thing, sorry to be so long-winded.

Not everything in life is kittens with big dopey eyes and balloons. Every once in a while a parent has to kill a growing dog to keep the idea of owning a puppy alive to a kid. That sentence was sarcasm, dark humor ( I would kill that parent, FYI.). If you couldn't handle it don't read these comics. If you have a sense of humor that is developed a bit more than the likes of "Full House," read these. They are insanely funny.
I'm with you 100% Jessica. There really are some damn funny comics here!
