40 Illustrations That Are Both Funny and Philosophical Shared by the Artist Online
These comics portray our world from the perspectives of plants, animals, and inanimate objects.
Some comics make you laugh first and think later, and Erik’s Bonus Context does both at once. His illustrations take familiar moments and flip them through the eyes of birds, plants, and other unlikely observers.
The Swedish artist, who is also a father of three, has built a following with drawings that feel playful on the surface but oddly philosophical underneath. That mix is exactly what makes these panels so easy to keep scrolling through.
Here are 40 illustrations that turn everyday life into something a little stranger, and a lot more interesting.
