Life is full of odd little habits, intrusive thoughts, awkward interactions, and moments that probably make more sense in our heads than they do out loud. Clair Hart, the artist behind Exploding Lobster Comics, has a knack for turning exactly those experiences into colorful, charming comics with punchlines that often take an unexpectedly absurd turn. Bored Panda previously featured Hart’s Halloween-themed comics, where ghosts, monsters, and other spooky staples received the Exploding Lobster treatment.
Hart’s work jumps freely between everyday observations and much stranger territory. One comic might capture the questionable logic behind a familiar habit, while another might revolve around cats behaving like cats, or turn a mysterious cryptid into something unexpectedly adorable. Her expressive characters and playful storytelling make even the weirdest scenarios feel relatable.

Damnit its so dry here, I really want a big thunderstorm and heavy rain
If cat can see any of the bottom of the bowl, the remaining food is invisible
They kept saying that it was supposed to rain and storm all week and we got about five minutes of it. More thunder than anything else, and it's been sunnythe whole time. I am always a passenger in vehicles so I also like to read in one in the rain, at least when I trust the driver!
My ex kept one of our cats, Preacher, because they are in a serious bromance with each other. I couldn't separate them when I moved back home. My ex bought Preacher his own tiny dish just for sharing meals with my ex. When my ex has a meal, he puts tiny crumbs of cat-safe portions of his meal onto the tiny dish, and then Preacher gets to share a meal with him. If there is nothing cat-safe in my ex's meal, he'll get a small amount of boiled egg and put it on Preacher's plate. I am so happy that they love each other so much, but Preacher is the most entitled, spoiled cat I've ever seen XD
Vlad, it's ginger-*bread* man... you can't just decorate a ginger man!
Ice and snow are one of the few joys reserved for those of us who don't/can't drive or work.
I thought this character was a girl this whole time but based on bp's incessant censoring I'm assuming this is not the case
How can I eat dinner and then feel like I'm starving? Like, dinner and then a couple of grilled cheese sammiches and then I'm still hungry? Went to a nutritionist who gave me a pamphlet on how to incorporate all of these elements to me plate, but I was (of course) still feeling so hungry. No follow-up, just "try this diet". Already had and it didn't work despite doing everything they said. I don't crave sweets, just savory foods. Argh!
I have not seen the TV show "Heated Rivalry", but apparently it involves dudes, romance, and bútts.
Oh. It took me until now to realize that "Heated Rivalry" is that TV show that is apparently Brokeback Mountain but with hockey players instead of cowboys. And apparently bútts are involved somehow.
