Brian Wonderful, also known as Brian Whitmarsh, is an IT professional and comic artist who turns everyday thoughts into sharp, funny, and unexpectedly insightful one-panel comics. His drawings are minimalist yet full of personality, capturing the strange mix of humor and honesty in modern life.

From awkward social moments to tech-induced chaos, his panels explore the absurdities we all recognize but rarely articulate. What makes his work stand out is its ability to be both clever and comforting, finding humor in the small, often overlooked details of daily existence. With just a few lines, Brian Wonderful manages to make readers laugh, think, and feel seen.

    It's all well and good shouting about revolution. I've done it. But... er... what do we do next? And don't say vote. Voting gives you a choice over what colour you want to f**k you.

    There was a terrible bit in Friends, where Ross was selling the hell out of anti-dandruff shampoo. As a kid, I didn't realise, and now I've been using that same brand for yeeeeears. I have tried others, but that one is the one I go back to. F**k you Ross from Friends.
