This Cartoonist Uses One-Panel Comics To Perfectly Skewer Pop Culture Characters (50 Pics)
Joe Lennon, the artist behind “Lennon Cartoons,” is known for his sharp, instantly readable takes on pop culture icons. His background in illustration and design shows through in his confident sense of timing and composition, allowing each cartoon to revolve around one clear idea that lands quickly and effectively.
By stripping his drawings down to their essentials, Joe keeps the focus on the joke itself, making his work easy to engage with even at a glance. This clarity is a big part of why his cartoons resonate so widely online, especially with audiences already familiar with the characters he reimagines.

What sets Joe Lennon’s work apart is how skillfully he plays with shared cultural knowledge. His cartoons rely on the audience recognizing superheroes, movie characters, or animated legends, then enjoying the moment when expectations are gently or brutally subverted. A small visual tweak or a blunt caption is often enough to turn something iconic into something unexpectedly human, awkward, or self-aware. Through this approach, Lennon Cartoons highlights the humor hidden inside pop culture itself, proving that a single well-executed panel can be both a clever commentary and a genuinely funny moment.
