Cartoons (Mad World)

Since I was a kid, I've always enjoyed drawing cartoons, and now I'm getting back into it. Each week, usually on Mondays, I will post a new cartoon. They will be pencil drawings, and hopefully will make you laugh. You can click on the cartoons to enlarge them. I call my cartoon series Mad World.

Happy chuckles,
Markus

Samba's Therapy

A Living Fossil

Jeff: Hi everyone! This is our ancestor Tiktaalik. He crawled out of the sea 375 million years ago. He's what you call a living fossil.

Jenny: But you look so young!

Tiktaalik: I eat a lot of kale.

Tiktaalik: (later to Jeff) Why do you always have to on about this living fossil business? It's an oxymoron.

Group Therapy for Strange Species

Octopus: They call me dumbo and I've got an IQ of 160.

Him: (making spiders with hands) Here's the spider coming to get you! Haha!
Her: Stop it! That's horrible!

Him: !!!

I'm Special!

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Modern Dating

Guy: Tell me about yourself.

Girl: I'm a mammal.
Guy: We have a lot in common.
Girl: Let's get married.

Modern dating in the post-Covid, social media age can be a strange experience. Young people have lost their social skills and can't make conversation. At the same time they are lonely. But you don't need a lot in common to partner up. Being a mammal is enough.
