Some of the funniest moments in life are the ones that seem completely ordinary until someone points out just how strange they really are. Conversations with a partner, office meetings, vacations, commutes, and even attempts to relax can suddenly look ridiculous when viewed from the right angle.
Cartoonist David Sipress has spent decades finding humor in exactly those moments. Since his first cartoon appeared in The New Yorker in 1998, his single-panel work has explored relationships, work, culture, politics, anxiety, and the many peculiar ways people try to navigate everyday life. We’ve featured Sipress’ cartoons several times before, and today we’re back with another selection of his sharp observations and understated punchlines.
We also reached out to him to learn a bit more about his work, so scroll down to read the short interview and enjoy the latest collection of comics.
