If you’re seeking a dose of humor suitable for all ages, Doug Hill has you covered. The author of the 'Laughing Hippo Studio' series, which consists of hilarious single-panel cartoons, creates simple yet witty strips loved by many. If you missed our previous posts featuring his earlier works, be sure to check them out.
In a recent interview, Doug mentioned that his cartoons are often inspired by his family’s life. He said: “Everyday scenarios, especially when taken out of context, are a goldmine for humor. Current events and popular trends also spark ideas. The joy of creating a cartoon and seeing people smile because of it is what keeps me going."

My ex used to start spontaneously handing our guests their coats when she thought it was time for them to go. One of her more admirable traits.

My inlaws passed along a habit to their kids: as a gentle hint to guests, they quietly start clearing the tables and vanish into the kitchen and start washing up. One of them will continue to be the host as the others get the place tidied up.

I know the feeling. I've gone to bed whilst parties have gone on in my house.
EmiEm 1 year ago
This reminds me when I was 15 and both my parents went to bed at like 1am at their own party. I had no idea how to get people leave yet. Then at about 2:30 am the cops showed and I had to talk to them and tell them both my parents his gone to sleep on their own party, and left me manage their friends. They were really nice about it though and helped me get people to leave, even called one guy a cab. I'm pretty sure they felt bad for me. At the time it was so weird, but in retrospect, it's hysterical, and perhaps nothing could characterize just how parentified I was more succinctly.
We got in touch with Doug again and asked him more questions about his series. The artist provided us with insights into his creative process and his approach to designing characters for new cartoons: “I almost always start with the idea and the punchline (which may change later). I draw in pencil and redraw until I'm satisfied with the drawing. Then I ink it in pen and color it in Photoshop. I don't have any recurring characters (although some look familiar). I have never been able to keep a character constant.”

Was that the $600 or $800 category you were going for? I'd fail the entire "What's their name?" but fortunately, that's been true since grade school.

I've been asked why I had my head up my a*s. Me thinks this is similar.
The creator of ‘Laughing Hippo Studio’ shared with us some of his influences in the world of comedy and humor: “I suppose my major influence growing up was MAD magazine, although I read everything I could with and about cartoons. I followed many comedians and one major influence was Dan DeCarlo (Archie). His simple but effective layouts taught me a lot.”

Asked about his opinion on what makes a good comic, the cartoonist answered: “I know I sometimes go overboard on the drawing, but a great drawing will not sell a poor idea. The gag is the heart of the cartoon. A funny gag will always carry a simple cartoon.”

I just heard about happy tail syndrome. Its the best thing ever!
Anarchy_in_our_Souls 1 year ago
Unfortunately, it's not as nice as it sounds. Dogs with this condition often have to have their tails surgically removed because they often injure themselves. (They keep hitting their tail against something, even though it is already inflamed). 🫤

Lastly, we were curious if any of the cartoons from 'Laughing Hippo Studio' were a personal favorite of Doug’s, and the artist told us: “If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the one where I have a couple looking out at a desert scene, but it's an unfinished paint-by-numbers drawing. They are the only ones in color. ‘We must be in the unpainted desert!’”

I worked for an international airline many years ago and one of the pilots was retiring, not just leaving the airline. It was his last flight, the final announcement he made just as we went into descent was 'Ladies and Gentlemen, there is no need to worry.' As cabin crew, we didn't know he was going to do this. He wasn't bothered as he was giving up flying altogether. We actually found it very funny.

there's no scientifically proven evidence of that and I get the feeling that by 'men wearing dresses' you meant trans women, though please correct me if I'm wrong.

Entomologists always label their "catches." Species name, date collected, location collected, etc. Same with any other professional collection. As a matter of fact, one ought to argue that these are labeled improperly.
