#1 Full-Size Redemption

When the Grim Reaper shows up to claim a soul, he doesn’t expect to be stopped by a sweet surprise—full-size Snickers bars. In this hilarious Halloween comic by Jim Benton, Death is easily swayed by chocolate, proving even the darkest moments can be flipped with humor and a well-stocked candy bowl. Sometimes, kindness (and candy) really can save the day.

#2 Sick of the System

We’ve all had those mornings where you’re not physically sick—but just done with everything. In this relatable comic by Jim Benton, an employee calls in to say he’s not coming to work, not because of illness, but because he “hates the entire industry.” It’s brutally honest, hilarious, and hits a little too close to home.

The punchline lands when the boss, who approved the day off, is later seen lounging on the same couch with him, surrounded by soda cans. Benton’s comic humorously captures the quiet despair of modern work life, blending absurdity with a dose of uncomfortable truth.

#3 Corporate Afterlife

If you’ve ever felt like your soul quietly slipped away during yet another pointless meeting, you’re not alone. In this darkly funny comic by Jim Benton, a man is interrupted at work by the Grim Reaper—not to collect him, but just to borrow a pen. The twist? “You’ve been dead for years.” Brutal… but relatable.

Benton brilliantly captures the soul-crushing monotony of office life, where burnout turns employees into business-casual zombies. It’s not just death by spreadsheets—it’s death by routine. This comic hits hard because it’s funny and a little too real. If it made you laugh, maybe double-check that pulse.

#4 Plant Homicide: Choose Your Setting

Plant shopping always starts with hope—you imagine your new leafy friend thriving, transforming your space and maybe even your vibe. But Jim Benton’s comic brings a hilarious dose of reality when a cashier bluntly asks, “Would you like to kill this here, or slowly at home?” Ouch—and yet, so relatable.

For anyone who’s ever loved and accidentally lost a houseplant (or five), this comic captures the guilt, the humor, and the stubborn optimism of plant parenting. It’s a funny, painfully accurate nod to every overwatered fern and forgotten succulent. Because even if your plant doesn’t survive… the dream of being a plant person lives on.

#5 Too Good to Be Awake

We’ve all had those rare mornings that feel too perfect—where everything’s calm, cozy, and suspiciously smooth. In Jim Benton’s comic, a happy duck wakes up to birdsong, breakfast, and bliss. But for anyone with even a hint of anxiety, that level of peace feels… off.

Sure enough, the final twist shows the duck still asleep, surrounded by chaos—stabbed, taped up, and hilariously ruined. Benton brilliantly turns the idea of “too good to be true” into a darkly funny metaphor for modern life. Because sometimes, true peace only exists in dreams—and even those aren’t safe for long.

#6 Jack-O’-Meltdown

Carving a pumpkin for Halloween? Totally normal. Calling it a “self-portrait” because it’s smiling on the outside but hollow and fading on the inside? That’s peak emotional honesty. In this painfully funny comic by Jim Benton, a woman presents her jack-o’-lantern with dramatic flair, revealing it’s not just festive decor—it’s a reflection of her mental state.

With lines like “empty inside, a dying light,” the humor hits hard because it’s a little too real. The final twist—“Halloween is like 8 weeks away. This is about me, OK?”—perfectly captures that mix of drama, truth, and dark humor. Benton turns a simple seasonal moment into a hilariously relatable cry for help… and somehow makes it comforting.

#7 Hell’s Endorsement

What’s more terrifying than election season? Finding out who the demons are backing. In this brilliantly dark comic by Jim Benton, two devils cackle over the line, “They want to know who I’m voting for,” turning a simple question into a sinister punchline.

The comic delivers sharp satire without naming names, capturing the absurdity and unease that often surrounds politics. Benton’s humor lands because it’s both hilarious and unsettling—suggesting that if Hell has a favorite candidate, we might be in deeper trouble than we thought. It’s a clever, biting take on modern political chaos that’ll leave you laughing… and maybe just a little concerned.

#8 Burnout Guru

When the guru of self-care looks like he hasn’t slept in two decades, you know the irony’s about to hit hard. In Jim Benton’s hilarious comic, fans line up to meet the author of Make Time for You—a book all about balance and wellness. But behind the table? The author is completely passed out, face-down in exhaustion.

It’s a brilliant and painfully relatable take on modern wellness culture, where even the self-care experts are running on fumes. Benton nails the contrast between what we tell others to do and how we actually live. The result is a comic that’s funny, ironic, and a gentle reminder that true self-care isn’t about appearances—it’s about actually taking the time.

#9 Perspective Shift, Literally

Ah, the joys of corporate brainstorming—where buzzwords fly and logic takes a coffee break. In this hilariously absurd comic by Jim Benton, a boss suggests the team needs “a new perspective” just as a woman lies flat on her back in a toppled chair. No one reacts. No one helps. Just another day at the office.

Benton’s comic brilliantly skewers workplace culture, where empty phrases like “think outside the box” are treated like revolutionary ideas. The visual gag lands perfectly, turning a common cliché into a literal—and laugh-out-loud—moment. It’s a sharp, silly reminder that sometimes, the only fresh perspective you’ll get in a meeting… is horizontal.

#10 Bird Instincts Never Lie

You know that eerie gut feeling when everything looks fine but your instincts scream otherwise? That’s exactly the mood in this hilariously creepy Jim Benton comic. A nervous bird walks through a horror-movie-level alley—blood stains, overflowing trash, and dim lighting—while saying, “Stay on the phone with me… I just have a feeling.” Meanwhile, a grinning scarecrow-clown figure lurks ominously in the background.

Benton nails the blend of parody and suspense, turning classic horror tropes into a feathered comedy. It’s spooky, absurd, and just self-aware enough to make you laugh while glancing over your shoulder. When even the bird knows something’s off—you know it’s time to run.

#11 Emotional Effort Counts

Not all apologies come out perfectly—and that’s what makes this Jim Benton comic so touching. A pink character nervously begins to say sorry: “I want to apologize… I’m not going to, but I want to.” It’s awkward, honest, and far from complete—but it’s real. The blue character pauses, then responds with quiet grace: “For you, that was pretty good.”

This simple exchange speaks volumes. Benton gently reminds us that emotional growth doesn’t always look polished. Sometimes, just the effort to apologize is a big step—and empathy means recognizing that. With soft watercolor tones and tender expressions, this comic delivers a heartwarming lesson: healing isn’t always about perfect words—it’s about the courage to try.

#12 Procrastination Nation Anthem

Some parties don’t kick off with confetti—they start after a snack break, a scroll through playlists, and maybe a little nap. In this delightfully relatable comic by Jim Benton, a chill sloth DJ stands poised over a turntable with the line, “Let’s get this party started… eventually.” It’s the perfect snapshot of slow-paced energy, introvert vibes, and low-key motivation.

With Benton’s signature soft watercolor style, the humor lands gently but effectively. The sloth isn’t lazy—it’s just running on its own timeline, like so many of us who need a moment (or three) before jumping into the fun. Whether you’re the first to show up or the last to press play, this comic captures the charm of easing into life’s big moments at your own pace.

#13 Solar Expectations, Crushed Gently

Some mornings begin with high hopes and a touch of magical thinking. In this comic, a cheerful character looks to the sky and asks, “Will the universe grace me with its loving soft warmth?” It’s a sweet, hopeful moment… until the universe replies by literally dropping poop on their head. So much for cosmic kindness.

Jim Benton nails the whiplash from dreamy optimism to absurd reality. With simple, colorful art and a perfectly timed punchline, this comic hilariously captures how life can turn our poetic expectations into slapstick moments. Sometimes, the universe answers—we just don’t always love the reply.

#14 Just One More Cable

Ah yes, the classic tech dilemma—where your excitement crashes the moment you realize your shiny new gadget needs one more thing to actually work. In Jim Benton’s comic, a kid is overjoyed to receive a sleek device, only to be handed a mysterious accessory with the line, “Here’s the thing it won’t work without.” Next panel? The kid is suddenly on Mars.

It’s an absurd, hilarious take on the everyday tech struggle we all know too well. Benton exaggerates the moment into cosmic chaos, perfectly capturing how a simple dongle or missing cable can feel like rocket science. With clean visuals and a surreal punchline, the comic is both painfully relatable and brilliantly funny. Because in the world of modern tech, one missing piece can launch you into total confusion—or outer space.

#15 The Panic Portfolio

The market crashes. Alarms scream. Suits scramble. And one man races down the hallway shouting, “Get Warren!”—not the billionaire, but his trusty purple piggy bank labeled WARREN. In classic Jim Benton style, this comic hilariously captures financial panic through the eyes of someone whose life savings could rattle in a cup.

With dramatic lighting and exaggerated urgency, Benton delivers a pitch-perfect satire of how we all tend to stress like Wall Street giants—even when we’re clinging to spare change. It’s a funny, relatable reminder that sometimes, our biggest investment is just keeping our piggy bank from cracking.

#16 Money Lessons and Mood Swings

In this darkly funny classroom comic by Jim Benton, a kid proudly answers the teacher’s question, “Who can tell me about money?” with the classic line, “Money can’t buy happiness.” It sounds wise—until the punchline hits. Instead of praise, he’s sent home with a note that bluntly reads: “Your kid is a D*CK.”

What makes the joke land so perfectly is the kid’s giant, clueless grin as he skips home, completely unaware of the chaos he’s caused. It’s a sharp, hilarious reminder that even the most innocent-sounding responses can carry a heavy dose of sass—and sometimes, that’s exactly what gets you in trouble. Whether you’ve been the kid with too much cleverness or the parent reading the note, this comic nails it.

#17 Congratulations, You’re Older

Graduation—the moment you feel on top of the world, ready to take on life with your shiny new degree and big dreams. In Jim Benton’s comic, a thrilled grad exclaims, “Yay, now I’m smart!” only to be met with a gentle reality check: not smarter, not richer… just older.

It’s a hilariously honest take on the post-grad letdown, where expectations crash into adulthood, student loans, and the harsh realization that a diploma doesn’t come with instant success. Benton blends wit and truth perfectly, reminding us that while we may not leave school rich or wise, at least we leave with a solid sense of humor—and maybe a few life lessons hidden in the fine print.

#18 Crimes Against Carbonation

When customer service goes off the rails, some folks call for a manager—this guy calls the cops. In this brilliantly absurd Jim Benton comic, a diner mix-up escalates into a full-blown police lineup. Four waitresses stand holding identical glasses, while the caption asks: “Can you identify the waitress that brought you the diet Mountain Dew?”

The ultra-serious setting—complete with mirrored glass and a detective—makes the situation hilariously ridiculous. It’s a perfect satire of those petty complaints that spiral way out of proportion. We all know someone who takes their soda order way too seriously, and this comic nails that dramatic energy with a fizzy dose of humor. Justice, after all, must be served… carbonated.

#19 Rapunzel’s Power Move

Jim Benton hilariously reimagines the classic Rapunzel tale with a twist that’s equal parts weird and wonderful. Instead of golden locks cascading from the tower, the prince is greeted by an absurdly long leg—and a confident Rapunzel who coolly says, “Guess you heard wrong, slick. You coming up or not?”

This comic turns the traditional rescue story on its head, replacing damsel-in-distress vibes with sass, surprise, and a healthy dose of absurdity. With its pastel fairytale aesthetic and offbeat punchline, Benton’s version reminds us that expectations can—and should—be flipped. Because sometimes, the real magic happens when the princess writes her own story… even if it comes with an awkwardly long leg.

#20 Breaking News: Nothing Weird Happened

In a world where political chaos feels like the daily norm, Jim Benton delivers a quiet but powerful punchline: “None of the candidates said anything super weird today.” The result? A bar full of people staring at the TV in stunned silence, like they’ve seen a miracle—or an alien.

It’s a brilliant, understated commentary on how desensitized we’ve become to political absurdity. The humor hits because it’s subtle, sharp, and all too real. Without naming names, Benton captures the surreal state of modern news, where not saying something bizarre is breaking news. Equal parts funny and unsettling, this comic speaks to anyone craving just one normal headline.

#21 Monkey Misunderstanding

In the awkward world of doctor visits, this comic takes things hilariously literal. A monkey in scrubs informs his patient, “The doctor says we need a stool specimen,” and the patient shows up with—yep—an actual wooden stool. It’s a perfect visual pun that lands without needing anything more.

Jim Benton nails the humor with deadpan faces, minimal details, and a totally straight delivery. The grumpy patient, the clipboard labeled “TD” (possibly “toilet duty”), and the monkey’s clinical calm all add to the absurd charm. It’s goofy, simple, and brilliantly timed—proving that sometimes the dumbest jokes are the smartest kind of funny.

#22 Nobel Snub, Dog Edition

You save the world. You cure cancer. You’re a literal genius dog… and yet the photo the media chooses? You, mid-poop on a lawn. In this sharply funny comic, Jim Benton pokes fun at media priorities, showing a proud dog scientist holding a magazine that praises his breakthrough—only to discover the photo is wildly unflattering.

His reaction—“All those pics of me getting the Nobel Prize and this is what they use”—perfectly captures the frustration of seeing your proudest moment reduced to a punchline. It’s a hilarious, all-too-relatable take on how the media often misses the mark, proving that even when you change the world, you’re still at the mercy of a bad camera angle.

#23 Vampires vs. Ozempic

Being undead has its challenges—but being a vampire in Hollywood? That’s a whole new nightmare. In this hilarious Jim Benton comic, two starving vamps complain about their latest failed meal, with one groaning, “We’ll starve in Hollywood. These things are all loaded with Ozempic.”

It’s a brilliant mashup of gothic horror and modern wellness culture, turning a vampire’s hunger into sharp satire about society’s obsession with medicated thinness. Minimalist art meets maximum bite, as Benton cleverly skewers both the supernatural and the superficial. Whether you love vampire humor or pop culture jabs, this comic sinks its teeth into both—perfectly.

#24 Meat-Lovers Swagger

There are few triumphs in life quite like walking out of a pizza joint with a hot, greasy box of glory in your hands. In this comic, Jim Benton hilariously captures that over-the-top swagger we all feel after scoring a large meat-lovers pie. The floating text says it best: “When you get the large meat-lovers and walk out like some kind of billionaire carnivore.”

It’s absurd, dramatic, and spot-on. With just a slice of self-delusion and a whole lot of cheese, Benton turns a simple takeaway moment into a full-blown ego trip. Forget luxury cars—this comic reminds us that sometimes, all it takes to feel like a boss is a pizza box and a dream.

#25 Fuel Economy Class

There’s turbulence, and then there’s the sheer panic of hearing your pilot casually ask, “Did anybody bring some of that special airplane gasoline today?” In this brilliantly unsettling Jim Benton comic, that single line sends the passengers into wide-eyed, silent dread—perfectly capturing the fragile trust we place in air travel.

Benton’s minimalist style and deadpan humor make the absurdity feel all too real. It’s the kind of joke that’s hilarious because it’s horrifying—a reminder that beneath the calm voice in the cockpit, there’s always the lurking fear that someone might just be making it up as they go. Equal parts surreal and spine-tingling, this comic turns a quick announcement into an airborne nightmare… and comedic gold.

#26 The LinkedIn Disappearance

Some people disappear into the wilderness—others into witness protection. But in Jim Benton’s comic, one poor soul vanishes into the depths of LinkedIn… never to be seen again. A mother and child stand before a grand, solemn portrait as she whispers, “And then he went on LinkedIn and nobody ever saw him again.” It’s funny, eerie, and painfully relatable.

Benton nails the quiet horror of professional culture, where once-vibrant personalities get consumed by buzzwords, polished headshots, and endless “thought leadership” posts. The comic feels like a memorial to those who’ve traded their souls for connection requests. It’s both satire and soft scream—because if you’ve ever lost someone to corporate jargon… you know.

#27 Mornings Are Hard (Especially When You’re a Monster)

Not every morning begins with a peaceful sunrise—some start with groans, slime trails, and reattaching your own eyeball. In this brilliantly bizarre comic, Jim Benton captures the agony of waking up through a droopy, blob-like monster who slurps breakfast and drags itself into the day—eyeball first, dignity last.

There’s no dialogue, but the message is loud and clear: this monster isn’t evil—it’s just exhausted. It’s a hilariously grotesque mirror of how we all feel on rough mornings, especially Mondays. Benton’s use of absurdity and playful visuals turns pure exhaustion into something both gross and comforting. Because honestly? If you’ve slapped your face together and made it downstairs, you’re already crushing it.
