Joe Lennon (not to be confused with John Lennon) is a cartoonist from western New York, known for his clever and funny single-panel comics. His work often mixes wordplay, pop culture, and silly situations that catch readers by surprise. He has been drawing since he was a kid in the 1960s, inspired at first by superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man, and later by Mad Magazine, National Lampoon, and the underground comix of the early ’70s. After high school, he drew professionally for adult magazines but later took a break to focus on graphic design.

About eight years ago, Joe returned to cartooning just for fun, sharing his work on Facebook. His cartoons are simple and quick to read, yet they often leave a lasting impression, combining sharp humor with a playful look at the odd moments in everyday life.

    DON'T give the advertising industry any ideas! Lately, I have been flooded with unsolicited scam calls regarding Medicare enrollment. Yesterday at work, I got into the elevator. My phone did not ring; it was completely quiescent. And the d@mn elevator speaker started playing the same Medicare enrollment scam call I've been getting flooded with!

    Reminds me of 'Sweetwater', a local restaurant with a superb ribeye and their own on-site microbrewery. They do 30 or 40 different beers and have about six on tap at any given time. They get very creative with their names.
