Parenting is hard, and most parents are bound to make mistakes or make bad judgments here and there. For cartoonist Brian Gordon, these parenting failures not only serve as a teaching moment, but also provide him an inspiration for a series of funny comics.

Gordon is the author of Fowl Language Comics, which are described as “comics for imperfect parents”. They follow a family of human-like ducks going through all sorts of humorous and relatable situations. You’ll easily recognize moments from your own family life and probably feel a bit better about them once you realize everyone else is going through the same.

“My comics are largely inspired by my struggles as a parent, my fascination with technology, science and all things geeky,” Gordon shares on his website.

Gordon decided he would become a cartoonist while he was in kindergarten, and according to him, “so far, things are working out okay.” He has an impressive social media following, including 357K followers on Instagram, and has published four Fowl Language books to date: The Struggle Is Real, Welcome to Parenting, Winging It: The Art of Imperfect Parenting, and Tweenage Wasteland. If you ask us, things are working out more than okay.

Alligators are often considered scary reptiles that will attack anything that moves. However, the truth is that they are scared of humans just as we are scared of them. One artist is now trying to change the bad reputation of alligators with a series of amusing comics.

You probably already saw some of the works of illustrator Karlo Ferdon without even knowing it. Ferdon creates funny comics and illustrations that have been featured in newspapers and online magazines and shared countless times on social media.

Ferdon produced a number of comic series in recent years, employing different styles and covering various subjects. However, his most popular works remain simplistic single-panel comics that have little or no dialog at all.

Mostly black and white, these comics cover a range of funny subjects, protagonists, and situations. This is why sometimes the underlining joke won’t always be obvious, but when it hits, it hits hard.

“I like how simple and direct humor is in the cartoon world,” explains Ferdon. “Humor without words is not always understood, but when you connect with the reader, it is great.

Ferdon is a graphical designer by profession. Besides making his funny comics, which he shares on his social media, the Chilean artist is also engaged in various other projects. He has published a couple of humorous books so far and is currently part of the creative team behind several magazines/fanzines, including Don Serapio Magazine and La Faena Magazine.

The beauty of pop art is that it can tackle heavy-loaded subjects at ease, engaging the viewer with complicated ideas that otherwise might deter them. Blurring the boundaries between “high” art and “low” culture, noble art and commercial art, pop art also has the ability the speak the language of the “common” man, inviting them into the sacred gallery space.

Case in point: Maria Qamar’s pop art. Inspired by pop art’s wonder boy, Roy Lichtenstein, Qamar adopts comic book iconography to create dramatic portraits of South Asian people that communicate between them through snappy dialogue bubbles.

A first-generation Canadian, Qamar’s mother is Indian and her father is Bangladeshi. The family moved to Canada when she was nine, and Qamar openly talks about the hardships of being an immigrant, which included enduring constant bullying and racism.

Her work is first and foremost aimed at a South Asian audience and is meant to resonate with the Desi community at large, particularly the second generation. “I’m neither here nor there,” said Qamar in an interview with the Cut, relaying her experience as a South Asian millennial. “I’m not either Desi or Western, I’m both.”

This duality is present by her choice of medium, which is influenced by the art of Roy Lichtenstein as well as Indian soap operas. “I’m an extremely emotional person,” says Qamar. “It’s why I gravitate so much towards Indian soap operas. The tears and the crying and the drama in my work is also inspired by Roy Lichtenstein.”

“The theme of it all, in so much as there is one, is a failure,” Cranor shared to Bored Panda and added: “Not in a depressing way, mind you. It isn’t easy to take anything that’s happening in these too seriously.”

You can find his work on his social media accounts, where he posts his hilarious artwork. Currently, he has over 6,000 Instagram followers, but we are sure the numbers will keep going up.

Kelly Abeln creates relatable content that’s neatly packed. Defining her style as “autobiographical comics” she shares her illustrations through Instagram, where she has gained quite a massive following. Aside from her comics, she also works full time as a freelance illustrator and runs an Etsy shop where you can find her work printed on paper stationery as well as textile.

“Sometimes I think with autobiographical work, ‘Oh, this is just something that happened to me and no one else will care,’” she relayed in an interview with  Shrill Society. “But I really like reading autobiographical work, and that’s what I connect to. So I try to keep that in mind that the personal is universal. If you tell something really personal and focus on the feelings of it, then other people can relate to it.”

Her illustrations aren’t meant to look realistic. Loose and quirky, their wonkiness adds to their humoristic edge. And much like her characters, her stories are meant to be taken lightly (though most often than not, they address serious issues).

A common theme throughout her work seems to be the hardships of growing up. “I have a lot of stories in my head of growing up,” says Abeln. “Once I started making comics, I found they were the perfect way to get the stories all out and release them. I don’t want to forget them and forget how I felt.”

“When I think about memorable autobiographical experiences, the growing up years are what stand out the most to me because I think being a teenager is the craziest transition period that people go through,” she adds. “Every year of being a teenager feels like five years in terms of growth compared to the rest of your life. It’s a chaotic and exciting time.”

Can you imagine being the only guy in a house full of five girls? It must be difficult and James Breakwell documents the family’s never-ending adventures in his Unbelievably Bad Webcomics.

If the name didn’t say it all, the comics feature stick figures that were inspired by the ones shown on public restroom doors and the lack of artistic ability makes them all the more relatable. The illustrations tell the story of Breakwell’s life living with his wife and four daughters.

“Everybody’s kids are weird and my comics celebrate that,” Breakwell told Bored Panda, continuing that “anyone who says they have normal children is lying.”

The father said that his girls aren’t impressed with his work and that they know which figures represent each of them. His wife even checks his social media feeds to see “what new shame I’ve brought on our family.”

Breakwell admits that he doesn’t spend much time drawing, instead, he uses the time to come up with jokes which means paying attention to what’s happening around him in his house at the time that he’s drawing.

He’s even released a new children’s book titled Prance Like No One’s Watching, A Guided Journal for Exploding Unicorns, which teaches kids to find inspiration in their everyday lives and to turn it into comics or jokes.

Lucas Turnbloom, a cartoonist from Southern California, and his wife adopted a cute and playful little cat back in 2017. Little did they know that this event and their furry new friend would change their lives for better and inspire Lucas to write one of his best and most popular comics.

His black and white comics called How To Cat is mostly based on Sweetie’s adventures and mischief. Now, this sweet fur ball has thousands of followers on social media who can’t wait for Lucas to publish new funny comics.

“The comic was originally intended to be an inside joke for my wife and I, but she insisted that I put it on the internet and share it with the world. The strip seems to have found an audience on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter – which is incredible,” Lucas said to Bored Panda.

Sweetie has changed several homes before the couple finally found her in a shelter and gave her a loving forever home. Now she’s inspiring Lucas and his followers from all around the world and bringing joy into our lives.

Kelly Abeln creates relatable content that’s neatly packed. Defining her style as “autobiographical comics” she shares her illustrations through Instagram, where she has gained quite a massive following. Aside from her comics, she also works full time as a freelance illustrator and runs an Etsy shop where you can find her work printed on paper stationery as well as textile.

“Sometimes I think with autobiographical work, ‘Oh, this is just something that happened to me and no one else will care,’” she relayed in an interview with  Shrill Society. “But I really like reading autobiographical work, and that’s what I connect to. So I try to keep that in mind that the personal is universal. If you tell something really personal and focus on the feelings of it, then other people can relate to it.”

Her illustrations aren’t meant to look realistic. Loose and quirky, their wonkiness adds to their humoristic edge. And much like her characters, her stories are meant to be taken lightly (though most often than not, they address serious issues).

A common theme throughout her work seems to be the hardships of growing up. “I have a lot of stories in my head of growing up,” says Abeln. “Once I started making comics, I found they were the perfect way to get the stories all out and release them. I don’t want to forget them and forget how I felt.”

“When I think about memorable autobiographical experiences, the growing up years are what stand out the most to me because I think being a teenager is the craziest transition period that people go through,” she adds. “Every year of being a teenager feels like five years in terms of growth compared to the rest of your life. It’s a chaotic and exciting time.”

Can you imagine being the only guy in a house full of five girls? It must be difficult and James Breakwell documents the family’s never-ending adventures in his Unbelievably Bad Webcomics.

If the name didn’t say it all, the comics feature stick figures that were inspired by the ones shown on public restroom doors and the lack of artistic ability makes them all the more relatable. The illustrations tell the story of Breakwell’s life living with his wife and four daughters.

“Everybody’s kids are weird and my comics celebrate that,” Breakwell told Bored Panda, continuing that “anyone who says they have normal children is lying.”

The father said that his girls aren’t impressed with his work and that they know which figures represent each of them. His wife even checks his social media feeds to see “what new shame I’ve brought on our family.”

Breakwell admits that he doesn’t spend much time drawing, instead, he uses the time to come up with jokes which means paying attention to what’s happening around him in his house at the time that he’s drawing.

He’s even released a new children’s book titled Prance Like No One’s Watching, A Guided Journal for Exploding Unicorns, which teaches kids to find inspiration in their everyday lives and to turn it into comics or jokes.
