30 New Humorous One-Panel Comics By Laughing Hippo Studio That Might Brighten Your Day
Interview With ArtistDoug Hill, also recognized as Laughing Hippo Studio among his online followers, is a talented cartoonist known for his witty single-panel comics. His work captivates the audience, not just due to its simple style, but also thanks to his distinct sense of humor.
"My style is sometimes semi-realistic, loose at times, but rarely bizarre artwork. My humor is based mostly on real life. Humor many people can identify with. Sometimes I suppose it’s Boomer Humor (I am 75), and some slightly twisted as well," the artist shared in a previous interview.
When asked about the primary goal of his art, the artist responded, "to make people laugh." So, scroll down for some giggles and enjoy the lighter side of life.

I love how Crowley said that humans come up with far worse than he and his coworkers can.
The funny thing is, by modern standards, demons would be considered the most devout believers.

My cats' got one life, and she chooses to live it staring disappointedly at her food bowl.
Most cats are born with nine lives. My cat was born with nine brain cells.
Mine decided to spend the rest of it's life watching me doing my business in the bathroom whether it's midnight or not

Bored Panda reached out to Doug again to learn more about him and his creative process. We were curious to know what the artist finds the most challenging when creating comics. "Obviously, the most challenging part of cartooning is coming up with the ideas," Doug revealed. "Some you know are funny, others bomb, and some I do just for me. I enjoy taking an idea and roughing out the cartoon then developing it and refining it until I am satisfied with it."
Because she's a piggy bank, and that's the only way to get the money out. Not a fat joke - a drop your piggy bank and break it joke. Sheesh.
Load More Replies...The artist shared that he doesn't use a computer to create the artwork, only to add color. "If I am stuck on ideas, I will get away from it and do something else. Often a word on TV or in a store, or overhearing someone (especially if I mishear them)."
"I do a lot of family-related cartoons since I have 3 kids, 5 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Other ideas come with what is popular with people or in the news. Everyday situations taken out of context are a favorite of mine. I love coming up with an idea, creating the cartoon, and seeing people enjoy it."
The vet the other day told me my baby girl is technically a senior 😭 rude haha
Cars rule! One of my favorite categories of pictures is cats who've stolen the dog's bed. The dog is almost always just silently pleading for the soft can-opener to fix it.
When I was younger I used to think that cats and dogs being enemies was rare cause at our old house(the first house I lived in), my mom was renting and the only rule was to take care of the stray cats, we had 2 dogs a chow chow german shepherd mix(Crybaby, my mom named her when she found her when my mom was around 18/20 years old and she was 6months, she thought she heard a baby crying and went outside with a baseball bat since some big cats can make the sounds and found crybaby and got her name[I grew up with the nasal flap that stops you breathing when talking being deformed so I pronounce it as cu-ra-baby], she would knock me down if I had a bad day and didn't let me get up till I felt better and was happy, she passed away about 12 to 13 years ago I was 5 or 6, I still miss her) and a Rottweiler named Shasha(she was the sweetest with birds and squirrels literally her food bowl was always near her dog cage[her and crybaby was active so they became outside dogs]1/2
-or next to her dog house and more than once if she didn't want to finish food, she would let the birds and squirrels eat the rest of the food even when her food bowl was right next to her dog house while she layed in it, my mom, sister, and 'father'(he left and wasn't nice) was taking crybaby to the vet about a year before I was born and he saw her adoption paper on the board and convinced mom to get her she was around 2, also sadly has passed about 6 or 7 years back) but both would hang out with the cats at our old house and sometimes catch them laying together, and they wouldeat near each other and never fought, me and my sister had a mild allergy to cat dander but it went mostly away growing up around them(when we moved we didn't take them sadly), now if we spend long hours around cats we might sneeze a little nothing a allergy tablet can't fix(2/2)

Ok, so, this threw me off for a second!😅 At first, I thought the clerk was the customer, my first thought was, "damn, that's pretty disturbing." Upon realizing it was the other way around, my next thought was, "Well, in a, very gross, disturbing, sickening and twisted, way, it would've actually made it little funnier."😅😅
F-JAS have hundreds of scents that can be added to things and scented cleaning, body care and car care items. Bacon scented body wash?
Grab two rubber chickens, grab two cans of Coke, grab two handfuls of. Mentos. Push put both ingredients inside of rubber chicken and see what happens!

Agreed luckily me and my sister qualify for disability insurance that covers most of the medications, one of my sister's medications is for her epilepsy and it's over $100 per bottle and 1 bottle holds 1 month worth of pills which means for 1 year it's around to $1.2k/$1,200 and luckily with the Medicare it's only $3 per bottle

What makes me laugh even if I'm not feeling good is funny animal video, markiplier playing horror games it's why I got introduced to fnaf, how I got my coping mechanism for scary situations, and his videos of him playing totally accurate battle simulator and him playing happy wheels are my favorite, both markiplier's and Jacksepticeye's try not to laugh videos are good to if you want something funny but can't really laugh(cause surgery, being sick, or don't want to wake up people if watching at night). I also have a 2 specific private spotify playlist of song that cheers me up one if I want to listen to music at night and the other for any other time of day, I really recommend having a playlist of songs that can cheer you up even when your crying but have another for night with music that cheers you up and relax you at the same time, also I like crocheting or playing my favorite game(minecraft and harvest town) while listening to the playlist is good too, hope I didn't say to much lol
Heck, it's the only "medicine" most insurances actually DO cover, the bitter laughing through tears - tragicomic!
Close, but that's the answer to life, the universe and everything, not what it's all about.

You put your left Ommmmm in, you pull your left Ommmmmm out.........
There's a children's song called The Hokey Pokey. The children stand in a circle. "You put your left hand in [the circle]. You put your left hand out [behind you, out of the circle]. You put your left hand in, and you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey, and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about!" Then you repeat with the right hand, and however many other body parts.

My generation around where I grew up, we always thought of a power plant whenever someone said 'trojan' cuz that was the name of the nuclear power plant near our community. To find out, years later, that it also refers to a big hollow horse and a condom! Explains why the grown ups would always look at each other knowingly whenever one us kids were talking away about how fun it is to go to Trojan. (They had a neat museum in the visitor center) "Ya, I love Trojan", says the 11 year old innocently.
Erma Bombeck did a hilarious bit on how Barbie saved the economy. They got the doll for their daughter. Well, Barbie needed a few changes of clothing. Then she got lonely, and needed Ken, who came with a jockstrap and an insincere smile. Then Barbie and Ken needed a car so they wouldn't have to stay home all day. Of course they fell in love and got married. Erma said that their gift to the happy couple was a plastic house that looked like the Hilton. Of course, the daughter needed guests for the wedding, so they bought the other dolls. Well, Barbie got pregnant. Erma said her eyes filled with tears of self pity as she collected the doctor, who snorkeled on his day off, and needed outfits, two nurse dolls.... I THINK it was the book The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank.
Fun Fact: There was a time in the later sixties to early seventies when dollmakers flirted with the idea of making baby dolls anatomically correct. I think even Mattel was considering doing the same with Barbie and Ken. Needless to say, parents had absolutely wet hen hissy fits about it, unsold dolls were recalled, and production of dolls withOUT genitals resumed.

Jesus wore sandals to preach in. I'm sure it doesn't matter to the Lord.
Well kind of, depends on your humor. Basically moms what their kids to dress their best for church, and the kid was wearing socks that didn't match. This is him explaining to his mom why it doesn't matter if his socks matched or not.

Any scars can be stripes, I have a few from surgeries and I like to think it means I went through something tough and is still here also fun fact humans have bio-illuminating(like that one Platon in that one lake that glows when moved) stripes/patterns on our skin but it so faint our eyes can see it which is cool if you think about it
