50 Funny Single-Panel Comics With Darkly Absurd Twists From Scott Hilburn

Cartoonist Scott Hilburn has truly mastered the art of the punchline with his darkly absurd single-panel comics. While many artists might require 3-4 panels to set up and deliver their gags, Scott’s talent shines in his ability to bring you straight to the heart of the joke in just one panel in The Argyle Sweater comic series.

His comics blend dark humor with a sharp wit that not only tickles the funny bone but also leaves a lingering thought. It’s fascinating how these darkly absurd single-panel comics can pack so much funny content and dark humor into such a compact space. It’s all a testament to Scott’s impeccable writing and artistry, proving that sometimes, less really is more.

If you’re a fan of comics that straddle the line between funny and thought-provoking, his work is an absolute must-see.
