Writer and cartoonist Charlie Hankin is one of those artists who can distill an entire human condition into a single, deceptively simple drawing. His one-frame comics balance sharp humor with quiet existential weight, turning everyday moments into tiny philosophical puzzles.
Instead of giving readers clean answers, Hankin invites them into the ambiguity, leaving space to interpret, question, and connect the dots themselves. It’s this blend of wit, minimalism, and emotional precision that makes his work feel both instantly relatable and endlessly re-readable — the kind of art you come back to because it reveals something new each time.

Why would anyone spend that much money on clothing when you could buy clothing that looks just like it for a lot less AND have money left over for food/shelter/water/charity?
Charity shops rock - imho. Or "op shops" in NZ, fsr.
Load More Replies..."Jack of knaves" refers to the playing card that is now called a jack, which was formerly known as a knave. The name change from "knave" to "jack" occurred in the 19th century to avoid confusion with the king card, as the abbreviations "K" (king) and "Kn" (knave) were too similar. "Jack" was already an informal term for the card and had a meaning of a "common man," similar to the historical meaning of "knave" as a servant or man of low social status.
I'm not that flexible! Oh wait, there's a comma there. Ignore me

Haha, my father in law used to say "made a deposit" when the dog did what he'd been taken out to do.

For those who don't know, that's the default first question when meeting someone in St Louis. The assumption is you must have come from here, because virtually nobody moves here.

Probably. One can presume, after all, that the doctor built him with a heart. And a brain.

This one wasn't *eaten*. And who's to say the anteater didn't come along and clean up other crime scenes?

The poor penguin had to wait decades for his big break in publishing when they started Batman comics. It proved to be worth the wait.
It didn't even seem to help when he started his own book publishing company
