Zachary Kanin is an American writer, producer, comedian, and cartoonist. Kanin worked as an assistant to The New Yorker’s cartoons editor and eventually began to submit his own work for publication. He has published hundreds of cartoons in The New Yorker. The style of his cartoons was described by Richard Gehr of The Comics Journal as “a slightly surreal place where things have gone sometimes seriously awry.” Featured below are some of our favorites.

I am genuinely surprised with the quality of these, sadanduseless might still be live afterall.
Eh. Only one I genuinely enjoyed was the Sasquatch panel.
I liked the one with Sisyphus but you need to know the myth to get the joke.. so:
Sisyphus is punished in the underworld by the god Zeus, who forces him to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity. Every time he nears the top of the hill, the boulder rolls back down.
I thought most of these were pretty good.
They were very good
Loved ‘pathetic need’
Great mind Kanin!….loved the turkey about to leave this world…
Life what a trip I thin I’ll take it -color me smiling
Sorry, none were funny to me.
Loved dad getting fired!
Like you sense of humor. Don’t pay no mind to the curmudgeons. Ain’t nothing funny to them.
@Blofield, literally every person knows that
@Anonymous, no, they don’t.
@Anonymous, no they don’t.
These are brilliant and amusing, i enjoyed every one!
I don’t get the one with the plaques on the wall. What’s in the chair?
I got them all. Instantly.
I square on the bible I’m telling the trewth
Bowling ball! DUH! The “plaques” are bowling pins aka trophies!
READS BETWEEN THE LINEZ
Karen, that’s a bowling ball, you know, strikes?
Hello, I always check these kind of one panel drawings and I can confirm this time the quality is high. Usually far fewer that hit my funny bone. Thanks
I laughed out loud, right by myself, at the pumpkin complaining about the carving on its ass. I’m still laughing. 😂😂😂😂
I thought some were actually pretty funny
@Elessar’s Girl @Anonymous no they, don’t
B+
I did not get the bowling pins on the wall. Even after explanation, I still don’t get it. Thanks for trying to help.
I can’t believe I wasted time reading all of these. They all suck.
I like your comics
Great job 👏
Pretty funny.
For those who think these are hilarious, no explanation is necessary.
For those who do not think these are hilarious, what a sad life you have.
Amazing, like Far Side for the 2020s. Larson would be laughing. I’m gonna be pissed in 20 seconds if it turns out he’s dead…
