40 Perfectly Weird and Witty Comics from New Yorker Cartoonist Paul Noth

Paul Noth is one of those rare cartoonists who can pack more wit, weirdness, and existential dread into a single panel than most people can fit into an entire sitcom.

He’s a longtime contributor to The New Yorker, the 2025 winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor, and somehow also finds time to be a published author on top of all that.

His comics are sharp, surreal, and effortlessly funny—like if Kafka got a weekly cartoon gig and developed a better sense of humor.

Whether you’re already a fan or about to become one, these are some of the funniest and most perfectly twisted single-panel comics from one of the greats.
