23 Funny Comics With Unexpected Twists And A Dash Of Dark Humor Made By This Artist
Interview With Artist
Today we'd like to introduce you 3Palec, who is a globe-trotting artist, known for creating vivid, surreal comics and illustrations that show a glimpse of our society in an exaggerated way. Without a fixed country of residence, he draws inspiration from his travels and experiences around the world.
Bored Panda reached out to the artist and here's what he had to say about himself, "Currently, I am not tied to any country; I travel and intend to continue this way. Recently, I launched an NFT project, ENDLESSTATE, comprised of 10,000 NFTs. This project explores some of the most significant human topics: religion, society, politics, and war. What makes the project unique is that every detail within it carries a concept."

For this joke to work you have to disregard everything you know about how a ballerina is supposed to dress.
When asked, "How did comics come into your life?" 3Palec revealed, "I’ve never been interested in comics. It’s just type of art that can best convey a dynamic story in static. One illustration cannot convey the sequence of actions."

There's nothing wrong with being proud of doing your best.
On the topic of his goals with his art, 3Palec said, "I put an idea into each illustration, but I don’t have a task to convey something to someone, because people see what they want to see, and I try to expose human vices." His art is a tool for reflection, rather than direct communication.

Hell yes…we all have a right to dream no matter who we love or fantasize about!
Questioned about his inspiration, 3Palec responded to us that, "People cause me the greatest interest. People in real life, people on the Internet, people in extreme situations... I just look at what is happening, draw conclusions and create my illustrations." He finds inspiration in the multifaceted nature of human behavior and life experiences.

I'd like to know where the mirror is that makes you look BETTER than you are.
Responding to the query, "Did you study to be the artist you are today?" he disclosed, "I have no art education. Today this is not a problem, if someone wants to be an artist, illustrator or designer, it is enough just to practice on paper or in graphic editors." He emphasized the importance of practice over formal education in his creative journey.

I see you've never actually seen what the US military is about... it's the politicians that start the damn fires.

There are no insignia. It accused no nation specifically. It is a commentary on the all too frequent atrocities of war. This and worse have happened, on all sides. If you insist the US is always blameless I invite you to Google Mai Lai. A little research will lead you to others. Yes, governments set stupid fires and send young men and women with heavy weaponry and national pride and reasonable fear into unreasonable situations and tell them the 'others' are monsters, and pretty soon anything seems acceptable for a surprising number of them.

How To Get The Girl (or other gender) step one: nail their shadow down and hope for the best. step two: if they try to interact, go hide in the closet and hope for the best. step three: if they discover you, stutter and hope for the best. step four: if they get mad, take out a thumbtack and hope for the best. step five: if they call the authorities, run away and hope tor the best. step six: if sent to j@!l, take out your Monopoly Get Out Of Jail Free Card and hope for the best. step seven: don’t interact with anyone ever again and hope for the best…
Finally, when asked about his frequency of creating comics, he said, "I draw comics with different frequency. I create sketches almost every day, but due to the fact that I am only interested in unique or unusual ideas, not all sketches turn into illustrations." He underscored the importance of originality in his work, not just productivity.

omg, Kevin, you're a genius. Thank you!! "Alcohol free." Suitbro interpreted it as "Non-alcoholic wine", but bartender meant literally "Alcohol is free, you don't have to pay". Thank you so much. I was so confused. I feel so much better now that you made it clear. ....It is now 4:38am and I think this is a sign I should go to bed XD

It may be because it's 4am and I haven't slept, but I don't entirely get this one. The bartender directly TELLS the suitbro that the wine is alcohol free (as far as I can tell), but suitbro... still gets drunk on it? Or pretends to get drunk? Or did the bartender lie to suitbro in order to get him to drink the wine, and the wine actually WAS alcoholic?

I believe this relates to the fact that the military does not pay enough t support families. Many military families resort to food stamps and public assistance to get by, especially when their partner is deployed.

I know you wanna dance, baby! (I know you see me looking at you on the daily!)
Stephanie Goadsby 2 years ago
Maybe there should be more dancing at funerals. The standard service that isn't necessarily based on specific religious ceremony (in Canada anyways) is dispicable in my opinion. Gather in grief, witness brief historical talking points of persons life, burial, idle prattle and sandwiches with people you won't see until there's another funeral and do it all over again. I'm not sure where things became so out of touch and routine but with the amount of death I have encountered in life, it has taught me what I want and don't want as a send off. I would like the entire event to be one big banquet feast that takes all day where everyone gathers at one table in my dwelling so that conversation and memories flow for everyone involved. Questions asked and answered, and posessions poured over as though a museum tour was underway while participants take whatever holds meaning to them as a reminder of my role in their lives. I would like as much laughter as there are tears while reminiscing.

I wish that, in America, we allocated at LEAST some of the gigantic military-spending budget to supporting and caring for our veterans, especially disabled veterans. My dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam, and I had to fight tooth and claw to get the Veterans Association to provide even MINIMAL help after his accident. I know their resources are stretched thinner than an onion skin, and it's not my local VA branch's fault, but it was still frustrating af. Whatever you may think about America's military, and whatever one's opinion on wars, it still SUCKS that our veterans get effed over. Most don't go into the military just because they want to kill people. Most are just normal people who need a job/education (or both.)
Weasel Wise 2 years ago
Part of the reason I tried to explain to my 17yo nephew "hold off for a little while, travel after you graduate", in hopes that he doesn't enlist. The US military culture of take orders without question, beat your body up for us, but we won't be there to help you when your body starts to fail because of your service to us....they routinely spend billions on fleets of machinery that is not needed but they can't pay their troops a decent salary? They can't pay for the medical needed to treat PTSD and any number of other medical problems but "oopsie, we blew up a billion dollar plane on accident, let's do it again"?!?! 😡😡😡

WWI veterans marched on Washington, demanding the benefits promised them. They were labeled Commies, and driven back with tear gas, tanks, and bayonets. By the ARMY (on Hoover's command).

Another viewpoint, the soldiers are men, women are passing by ignoring them. 1. Are all the pretty girls ignoring them because they are not interested in broken men? 2. Is this representative of a country that does not let women go into combat? 3. Is this a 'time' when women were in the military, but not able to be deployed. I'm ex military, 1980, 81 82 and 83. Male dominated role, was really pissed to find out I couldn't be deployed! I had a lifelong injury despite this. So many different viewpoints....

It seems to have omitted women veterans. You know cuz there haven't been any women to become disabled or died during war.
Janet Graham 2 years ago
As someone who goes to the VA hospital too often, what is depicted here is no longer the case. With this most recent, 20-year war, there has been a huge increase in the number of women veterans that I see with missing limbs and obvious war related trauma. Add to that all of the wound that are not visible and you have a huge increase in the number of female veterans in need of VA services.

Aha, I knew I recognized that knòb in the red suit. For those who don't know, this is a reference to a UFC MMA fight that occurred on October 6th, 2018. The two fighters were Conor McGregor (an absolute dumpster-fire ásshole waste of a human being) and Khabib Nurmagomedov, a fighter from Dagestan who is incredibly talented, hardworking, and, by all accounts, a decent dude. In comparison, McGregor has been arrested for reckless driving, driving without a license, and once literally ATTACKED a bus with a mob of 20 other people. McGregor threw a metal equipment-dolly at the bus, shattered some windows, and sent two people to the hospital. He has also attacked a fan and punched an old man in a pub. (That's just a FEW of the criminal things he's done. He has 18+ convictions.) I absolutely loathe McGregor, as talented as a fighter he may be. The good news? Khabib thrashed McGregor in UFC 229 and won by submission.

Claire - while the artist says they are a "globetrotter" and "is not tied to any country", I believe they are Russian by birth/origin. That would explain why a lot of their comics are a little out of the range of "typical" US/UK understanding. I had to go to their Instagram and translate a lot of their descriptions from Russian before I understood/got some of the comics... and even then, there are a lot I don't understand, because the cultural impact and influences are beyond my understanding. I can still giggle at the ones I DO understand, though!
