Toonhole John is known for his razor-sharp humor, dark twists, and punchlines that hit when you least expect them. Drawing inspiration from classics like Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and Looney Tunes, he’s helped shape the bold and distinctive voice of the Toonhole project – a collective of four talented cartoonists who explore satire and comedy in wildly original ways.

As one of the core Toonhole artists, John also shares his work on his own Instagram, where his unpredictable storytelling and slightly dark sense of humor continue to win fans. Each comic delivers a surprise ending that cleverly balances wit and absurdity, proving his unique ability to turn the unexpected into something genuinely hilarious.

So today, we’re taking a look at John’s latest creations since his last post – a fresh batch of twisted, funny, and brilliantly offbeat comics that are guaranteed to leave you amused, confused, and smiling all at once.

    Depends. Interventional Radiologists do. Reading radiologists don't, but they also make far less money and are perhaps first on the block to get replaced if someone ever insures an AI.

    That may often be the case, but in general, I don't think that either one's position shall be dismissed. The Doc is the pro who knows stuff and is allowed to initiate treatment. The patient knows themself, their diseases and preconditions and medical history, and is the one who has to accept the treatment, and live with whatever results it has. If there's, for example, two promising approaches to fix something, each having comparable side effects, the side effect bothering that very patient less could be the best aide in deciding. The Doc doesn't know that, the patient, likely, does.

    There is no reason to value them. College graduates have become a dime a dozen and are no longer coming out of school with skills relevant to the workplace. Mostly these kids are being taken advantage of by schools selling over p priced degrees to people who were raised by financially illiterate parents.

    Proper forest management allows sustainable logging. While the rain forest does provide lumber, most of the destruction is the slash and burning of the jungle for crops. Once the soil nutrients have been depleted, the soil becomes useless and does not grow new rain forest. That's not a lumber issue.

    Yeah, but, you have to understand that Europeans and Americans need to eat so much meat that it makes them sick. That requires a vast amount of food to be fed, and one is never allowed to state ethically relevant objections that could be critical of meat consumption.
