Here Are 40 Single-Panel Jokes That Have The Superpower Of Making Anyone Laugh

These comics are born out of passion and hard work.

Paul Woods, a comic book artist and cartoonist from Melbourne, Australia, goes by the name "Woodsy." The creator of the single-panel comic book "Insert Brain Here" knows how to convey humor in the dialogue between his characters with a minimum of words.

Giggles are almost unavoidable when looking through Paul's creations. Woods's distinct approach comprises wordplay and creative puns that give his work life and make his audience laugh.

"Humor is a powerful tool for connection and communication," says Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist. "It can break down barriers and foster relationships in ways that words alone cannot."
"Creating art should always feel like a joy rather than a job," emphasizes Dr. Dan Siegel, a child psychiatrist. "When passion drives creativity, the results resonate more deeply with the audience."

Despite not being Paul's full-time job, his comics have garnered a lot of attention and admiration due to their frequent publication in Australian and UK media. Additionally, he has a sizable following on Instagram, and people appreciate his inventiveness and hard work.

Paul talked about the hardest aspect of making a comic and how an artist gets past roadblocks and difficulties when working on the project, saying:

"I find the most challenging aspect is trying to come up with something that hasn’t been done before. I will often come up with what I think is a unique joke or idea, and a quick Google search will show the joke has already been done. This can sometimes be a bit frustrating. The other challenge is time. I have a full-time job and three kids, so it’s difficult sometimes to find the time to sit down and create a comic."

The OP talked about what makes a good comic and what some common mistakes that artists should avoid are, saying:

"The best comics are those that do something original and can make you laugh out loud. People sometimes get too focused on the quality of the drawing, but to me, the joke is key. A weak drawing and a great joke are better than a fantastic drawing with a weak joke."

Given the popularity of social media and online publishing platforms, Paul envisions comics primarily existing online in the future. The tools that comic book creators use to make their works are also changing rapidly.

Today, most artists use tablets to sketch their comics, which they then email to publishers or publish online. The advent of the internet has made it possible for anyone to create and share comics with a global audience.
