This Artist Makes Humorous One-Panel Comics Without Using A Single Word (30 New Pics)
If you're a long-time Bored Panda reader, this Chilean cartoonist Karlo Ferdon is probably a familiar name to you. He creates wordless and minimalist, yet eloquent one-panel comics that, we believe, can make you smile.
The artist has previously told us that the ideas for illustrations come to him randomly but his 'secret' formula is "pretty much putting the characters in everyday situations and having absurd results with a touch of surprise."
Check out more of Karlo's works we shared in our previous articles here, here, here, here and here.

I'm the one "singing". Anyone in earshot is the donkey. I wanted to sing quite badly. Believe me, I got my wish.
The artist has previously revealed to Bored Panda that he had fun creating comics from a very young age, so it comes as no surprise that his main influences are the comics he read as a child. “Comics such as the Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, Mampato, Condorito, and many more were the most memorable for me!”
She's really come out of her shell! I'll see myself out.

Load More Replies..."At the beginning, my works were published in press, local newspapers, and magazines. Little by little social networks also started to give artists more independence, and before I knew it there were Fotologs, Blogs, and now even Facebook and Instagram pages," the artist has previously shared with Bored Panda.
The EGG!!! The 1st chicken was a hybrid of two different birds 🐦+🦤=🐣...🐓
Load More Replies...As of today, Karlo has more than 27 thousand followers on Instagram. His illustrations stand out with their ability to convey a deeper meaning without any words and that requires some talent! Let us know what you think about these comics in the comments!
Still time, but business sank when they started selling consumer-grade time machines

Load More Replies...there are actually multiple. Here are some I found Screenshot...cb46ae.png
Except it appears to be attracted to a mismatch. The alternate partner would make a ying-ying pair, no yang!
And, "mismatch", I think that the LGBTQ+ community would disagree with you there🤣
Load More Replies...If you understand what I am talking about...😉☺️☺️☺️ K, I will see myself out
Load More Replies...Don't know why you got downvoted. Your opinion is harmless, take an upvote, please!
Load More Replies...If they're off duty, why are they still in their uniforms? I guess superheroes are never really off duty.
You don't want to have to go fight the bad guys in your best dress.

i think the picture isnt loading. all i see is some lines at the bottom.
I see a floating briefcase and a dog chopped in half.. maybe they’re ghosts /s

Load More Replies...Which part? They're training wheels like people use on their kid's bikes when they are 1st learning. Some people throw that sexist/racist "Karen" at every little thing, using it totally out of context.
Load More Replies...Don't worry, it's just winter holiday weight. It'll come right off after Valentine's day.
you missed the chance to say gullDash
Load More Replies...Please tell me I am not the only person who saw a man bending over first?
Looks like they are trying to not get their feathers in a flap about the signal issue issue interfering with their latest Twitter feed lol 😂 Look how calm they look hahaha!!
Ha ha. I thought that too. Then I noticed the phones.
Load More Replies...Pirate using an anchor to hold his place in his book... ;)
Load More Replies...I like the detail of the patch on the pillow where he knows his hook will be
I think that is a cork to keep from hurting himself in his sleep.
Load More Replies...I've always wanted to know what animals were really thinking. I can't wait to get those programmable buttons that let them "talk" to us!!!
According to the experts, dogs recognize us as "other". Cats only meow at kittens too young to pick up the adults ' communication and human. To cats, then, we are dense kittens to whom they must use baby talk. Either that or soft can-openers. 😉
Personally, I think that it's because we have taught them to do it by responding to their meows. They continue with what works, meows, scratches, knocking things over... whatever gets our attention.
Load More Replies...That ours don't work worth beans, so it stays "human".
Load More Replies...I'm confused. If this family of robbers/thieves is at "home" (such as it is), why are they still wearing their Domino masks? I guess to identify them as thieves/robbers to the audience?
Maybe it's a genetic condition, and the kid fell into a life of crime due to the mask birthmark, and now it's going to backfire as he attacks his parents on their way to surprise him for his birthday? Or, those folks are going to a masquerade party, and coincidentally are about to cross paths with a guy who is uniquely prepared to relieve them of their piñata?
Load More Replies...I think it's better this way: 2 is always second. 123 or 321, it's always second. Sorry, can't explain it any better.
Load More Replies...I always thought it was first is the worst, second is the best...not second is second.
I see three siblings here... and a story about how their lives as children vs. adults went. The oldest (#1) always got preference growing up, but the youngest (#3) achieved success because they had to try harder. Or something.
That's not how siblings work. The oldest gets saddled with responsibilities without any praise for their efforts, while the youngest receives constant praise and gets everything laid out for them by everyone else.
Load More Replies...Didn't see your comment before I posted. But I thought the same thing (keyring).
Load More Replies...Key Ring. *Would this be a time I should say "I'll see myself out"...? Or is it a dad joke?
Gosh, God must be really bad at golf. He's never yeeted us into a black hole in all of the 4.543 years the earth has been around!
But that's what normal thrones are built on, just don't get to see it usually
The "arm rests" on the chair on the right look super uncomfortable. Same with the ones on the left. No slouching in those chairs. Not that slouching is good for your spine. *She says while having a rare moment of somewhat decent posture. I am a chronic sloucher, since around age 12. Horrible habit. Hard habit to break, especially after 28 years. Wow, that makes me feel quite old. I'm not that old (40).*
Him= Shes smiling again while dreaming. Bet shes dreaming of being a banana split.
"Groan" button desperately needed!!! 😹🤣😹
Load More Replies...I appreciate that the artist did not draw stars in the moon's belly (is that the correct technical term?).
But I already talked to the bear when I was camping...
Load More Replies...I'm no astrologist but I don't think that is how peep holes or telescopes work. Especially combined. Also, where the heck is his door kn0b? I only see the deadbolt (is that a term everybody knows? The boxy looking thing on the door, with the chain on it. Is it called something else outside of North America?).
The officer is making a twirling motion, maybe he was chasing his tail?
I don't know if it was the intent here, but I took it as "roll your window down". Back in the days when most all windows were hand cranks and not electric, in context a twirling finger motion like that represented the way your hand moved while rolling down the window. Often more of a horizontal motion than straight up.
Load More Replies...isn't that the motion for twirl? like the dog trick? maybe the cop was telling him to make a U-turn or go back around?
After Officer Scout's promotion went straight to his head, the PUPlic (pup-lick) got a lot of CATtitude from him.
I expected to see something about me. My father was in this, the devil was in this, did you people just forget about me? Total rating: 4/5. Points off for not including me.
