46 “Port Sherry” Comics That Might Make You Laugh And Think (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistIf you’ve never checked out Port Sherry, you’re in for a treat. Pedro Arizpe has been making these comics since 2010, and they’re full of clever, weird, and sometimes surprisingly deep humor. Some strips make you laugh, others make you pause and think, and a few do both at the same time. His style is all over the place (in a good way), and you never really know what you’re going to get next, which keeps things interesting.
Pedro finds inspiration in everyday life, but he always manages to twist it into something unexpected or strange. Whether it’s a tiny joke about a mundane moment or a bigger story that makes you see things differently, Port Sherry has this way of hitting just the right note. Scroll through, and you’ll probably find yourself laughing, thinking, or just marveling at how weird and wonderful life can be.

Pedro’s comics don’t come out of nowhere—they start with careful observation and a bit of curiosity. As he puts it, “Observing the world with a critical eye, not to be a contrarian, but to make sure we’re not just accepting things as a given. Even if they later evolve into a whole narrative, most ideas start with phrases like ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if…’ or ‘If you think about it…’, which question why things are like they are, and are an attempt to see them from a different angle.” That curiosity is exactly what gives Port Sherry its unique twist, turning ordinary situations into something unexpected and often hilarious.

Creating comics isn’t always easy, and Pedro is honest about the challenges. “Absolutely, I've been burnt out. It helps that I try to do what I want instead of being bound to external demands, but the alchemy of filtering everything through your eyes and converting it into something that moves people or makes them laugh takes a toll. When the quality of the work starts to suffer, that is when I walk away and try to enjoy life for myself. Better one quality comic a week than three mediocre ones.” It’s a reminder that even in something as fun as comics, taking care of yourself comes first—and the work that comes out of that balance is always better.
Pedro’s process is a mix of experimentation and careful timing. He explained, “On average, I’d say 3 days. Since I don’t stick to a fixed length, a 4-panel black and white comic could be done the same afternoon I came up with the idea. Longer comics can take a week, and if they have color, even more. And that’s once they’ve already been written. Some ideas have gestated in my head for years.”
And while the work is deeply personal, Pedro’s connection to his readers is important too. “I am fortunate that most of the people who follow me know and accept that my work does not have thematic or tonal cohesiveness from comic to comic; the constant they like is perhaps the authenticity and sincerity in them, even if I give them whiplash from time to time. Crafting content to the specific taste of an audience is an effective way to grow your readership, but I think your mental health will invariably suffer if you devote yourself to making something you don’t believe in.”
"The dark arts" usually comprised knowing anything remotely useful about wound treatment, childbirth or infectious diseases. Oh, and being old , female and lonely. And not looking pretty. There are no records of anyone incompetent, male and good-looking being treated like a witch. Apparently. So now we have influencers ...
I still prefer Terry Pratchett's DEATH, who SPOKE IN CAPITALS ... with a voice like the tolling of a passing bell ...
Apparently bird 'song' is them arguing about things like who gets to st on which branch . Learning that took the fun out of getting up early for me. Thank you, naturalists ...
Suuuure it was an accident, and the first ghost wasn't just lonely at all !
Bloody hell, there was a candle in that cake. Also a lot of tiered cakes tend to have skewers in them so as to prevent them from toppling over so pushing someone face first into such cakes could blind them. I’m honestly surprised that this fact isn’t known enough
THANK YOU!!! also, the bride just spent hours and loads of money on her hair, makeup, and dress. now it's ruined. on top of that, you expensive wedding cake is destroyed and mostly inedible.
Load More Replies...What you can do is use oil or oily things like peanut butter and work them free of the glue trap but that's for things accidentally caught on there, I actually did this with a king snake before
Why do they call it a vanity mirror when the act of just peering into it shatters my self confidence 😔
Whenever anyone says "that's all there is to it" they're missing out a major part of the learning. Good learning has few boundaries, and none that we can immediately see.
That's the key. Thinking for yourself 101and rejecting limits. . Now generalise that in everyday life.
