35 New Sarcastic And Clever Comics That Address The Tragicomical Reality That We Live In
New York comic book illustrator, writer and producer Tom Hunt, the person behind the popular web comic series Scarecrowbar, likes his comics like I like my coffee: dark, simple, and with a strong taste. So get your daily dose of strong punchy comics based on everyday life. Who knows, you might even find them oddly relatable.
Comics like these don't go unnoticed here at Bored Panda, and we highly suggest checking out the first part of the same series, which you may find here.

Here are some of Tom Hunt's influences that he's been willing to share with us in an interview from a previous post. "The trio of cartoonists that opened up the world of webcomics to me were Ryan North, Anthony Clark, and KC Green of Dinosaur Comics, Nedroid, and Gunshow Comics, respectively. Anime Club by KC Green remains one of my favorite things ever made.
One of the greatest modern comic masterpieces is Pictures for Sad Children, of which I drew a lot of visual inspiration, especially early on. Recently, I’ve been enjoying Close Your Eyes Look At The Mountains. Juniper Abernathy may be making the best comics in the world right now, everything she releases is gold."

As for how much time it takes to make a single comic, Tom said that"it depends, as I imagine it does for most cartoonists. Sometimes I tinker endlessly trying to find the right punchline. The best comics are usually the ones that come naturally on the first pass—though those are rare. I’m lucky to have a few friends I demo every comic on before posting—without them I’d be lost."

So mwny people have asked me wtf is going on with the GOP in America and I can only say they are either crazy, stupid, or greedy AF. Sadly, I can say the same about MOST of our politicians, regardless of party
When it comes to inspiration,"a lot of it is having imaginary conversations in my head. Following the threads of your wandering thoughts until it unveils something that makes you laugh. Some of my comics have been called 'political' to which, sure, sometimes I’ve been overt about that. But I guess that’s just because it’s at the forefront of my mind at the moment. I try to stay honest to wherever my headspace is at."
Creative disciplines such as this one cause a lot of burnouts, so we asked how Tom deals with his.
"Having done a lot of different types of work, it’s hard to complain about burnout for creative work. That said, every now and then I find myself in a place where I’m thinking 'I don’t really have anything to say right now'—what are you supposed to do? If anyone reading this knows, please tell me."
We also asked Tom about how people usually react to his work.
"Mostly pretty positive! Anytime someone reaches out to tell me they really like a comic or it made them laugh or it changed their mind about something—I don’t take that lightly. It really makes my day. I hope anyone who does that knows their acts of kindness make a huge difference in my world."
"When George Floyd was murdered I wanted to scream into the universe. I ended up locking myself away for several hours to draw some comics to work out how I felt, something I’ve done since I was very young. I ended up showing a couple to friends who encouraged me to post them, so I did—and not too long after I found them at the top of Reddit. So I decided to keep going with it.
There’s a moment while illustrating when a comic crosses the threshold between an idea and a real thing. It always sneaks up on me during the process—but suddenly I’ll look up and see it’s coming to life and this is what it will look like. It’s exciting and satisfying."

Wikipedia: Venera 7 entered the atmosphere of Venus on 15 December 1970. [...] The probe transmitted information to Earth for 53 minutes, which included about 20 minutes from the surface. It was found that the temperature at the surface of Venus was 475 °C (887 °F) ± 20 °C. Using the temperature, and models of the atmosphere, a pressure of 9.0 MPa [about 88 times the pressure of earths surface atmosphere, info added by me] was calculated. From the spacecraft's rapid halt (from falling to stationary inside 0.2 seconds), it was possible to conclude that the craft had hit a solid surface with low levels of dust. The probe provided information about the surface of Venus, which could not be seen through a thick veil of atmosphere. The spacecraft definitively confirmed that humans cannot survive on the surface of Venus, and excluded the possibility that there is any liquid water on the planet.

Yes!! I do think the "play similar" when this playlist is over is very good and Spotify deserves $ to keep that strong.

I love that this is for the folks who've read multiples, the character gets a mouth as the "better yourself" idea.

I still don't quite understand what the cube had to do with the Council. Oh? Wrong lore, my bad.

I do the same thing; I find a good series and rewatch it multiple times until I find another one—I watched Seinfeld 2 times back to back

Some of these were great. I liked the "both sides of the gvrnmnt are trash" concept. Then, of course, it turned super left. Ugh. So tired of the divisive politics!!!!
