The artist behind "A Return to Normalcy" knows exactly how to turn everyday weirdness into one-panel, hilarious comics. With simple, expressive drawings and sharp deadpan humor, they blend talking insects, anxious humans, and random objects having breakdowns into something that’ll make you laugh, and then wonder if you just got called out by a cartoon.

As the artist’s fans know, “It’s like if your intrusive thoughts had their own comic strip,” full of existential spirals, absurd scenarios, and secret bug conspiracies. So yeah, Pandas, buckle up because these comics will hit you right in the overthinking part of your brain.

    We've picked less qualified leaders than this in many countries. What's the worst that could happen with King Mutt? Another Steve Martin song?

    The early bird gets the worm and the second bird gets the second worm. Maybe the worm is a little worse, but there are plenty of worms in the ground and the birds shouldn't be expected to sacrifice their comfort just for a chance to maybe get a better worm
