40 Funny Comics Using Optical Illusions As Punchlines From Cartoonist Tango Gao

I love a good minimal cartoon with a clever punchline and Tango Gao is the master of simple comics that are actually as funny as they are visually tricky.

Tango Gao is a cartoonist from Shanghai who has gained popularity online with his pantomime comics and uses optical illusions as punchlines. His original style and the absence of dialogue in his comics have made him one of the top internet cartoonist artists in the world.

Here are some of our favorite original comics by Tango Gao.
