21 Sarcastic Yet Funny Comics About Daily Life That Will Crack You Up
The strips were created by two Danish artists who were inspired by events occurring in the USA.
It started like a normal “we just submitted our comics” story, except Wulff and Morgenthaler were aiming for something way bigger than a Danish audience. When their work finally ran in The Washington Post, the Danish duo didn’t just feel proud, they felt vindicated, like the whole country finally caught the joke.
Here’s the complicated part: these comics were inspired by the USA, even though they were created in Denmark. So it wasn’t a random win, it was a full-circle moment. Wulff, juggling stand-up comedy, and Morgenthaler, coming off film work like the adult animated “Princess,” had already built a reputation through projects like the animated sitcom “The Pandas.” Then they pushed into the US market, and suddenly their sarcastic daily-life chaos was showing up in an American daily newspaper.
And that’s when the real story behind WUMO gets deliciously personal.

Their “daily life” panels already had bite, but seeing them land in The Washington Post made it feel like the USA had finally answered back.
Wulff’s stand-up energy and Morgenthaler’s filmmaker background collided right in the middle of their US-market push, which is when the pressure turned into payoff.
The fact that their comics were inspired by the USA, yet created in Denmark, makes that publication moment hit harder than your average “we got accepted” headline.
Even the name WUMO, stitched together from their surnames, feels like a punchline once you realize they went all-in to be seen in the country that inspired them.
When it finally ran in The Washington Post, the Danish duo Wulff and Morgenthaler felt that it was something that needed to happen for them and for the country. Achieving this kind of success is special to them because the stories they depicted were inspired by the USA.
They were thrilled to finally showcase their creative work to the country that inspired them to create comics.
Among the past projects of this duo was the animated sitcom in Denmark titled "The Pandas." Wulff also works as a stand-up comedian.
Morgenthaler, on the other hand, works as a filmmaker. He was at the helm of the adult animated film “Princess.”
They made it their mission to enter the US market and were filled with joy and excitement after getting published in an American daily newspaper.
The name WUMO is a combination of the duo's surnames.
Wulff and Morgenthaler didn’t just crack a market, they cracked a full-circle joke.
