If you’ve ever found yourself laughing at the little absurdities of everyday life, you might enjoy the cartoons by Rusty Epstein, the creator of the webcomic Bummer Party, which we’ve featured in the past. Today, however, we’d like to focus on the artist’s parallel series, simply titled Rusty Cartoons.

What sets these strips apart from his main webcomic is their format and focus. This collection consists of one-panel, New Yorker–style cartoons that often comment on current events and the realities of modern society.

If that sounds like your kind of humor, scroll down and see what topics the artist explores in his latest work.

This is the truth! And now he is looking at rolling back the caps on greenhouse gases. Why doesn't his heavy diet of hamburgers, fries, and Coca Colas kick in right about now and do us all a favour?

    The funny thing is, republicans disagree on many things, but because they both hate the other half of the country, they are ready to look over those things because they are against the same ennemy. And they are coward without principle. Mostly cowards who won't call out obvious double standard when it's done by their cult leader.

    There's always a reason to hate someone. Shakespeare was rude about a Jew, Mark Twain and Dickens wrote about young boys, Edward II was gay (allegedly), Edward III wasn't, ... the list goes on. It's so much FUN excluding people !
