50 Minimalistic Comics Filled With Absurd Situations And Silly Humor By Will Santino (New Pics)
We are back with Will Santino's absurdly funny comics. Will is a cartoonist and illustrator who is known mostly for mythical and historical humor. His distinctive artwork is usually all in black and white with some occasional splashes of color. Will's genius lies in his ability to convey hilarious messages using minimal words, allowing the visuals to speak volumes.
In the previous article, Will shared insight into how he keeps his ideas coming. "In order to have output, I need input. I read a lot of fiction and I love learning about new things, so I end up on Wikipedia a lot. I love mythology, and history, and fables, and art, and language. I love to learn, so my silly ideas are often the byproduct of my curiosity. More specifically, I drink coffee and doodle in a sketchbook."
For more of Will's comics, see our previous Bored Panda posts here and here.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be...a rabbit!
In Will’s comics, you will find a lot of references to well-known optical illusions, pop culture references, fairytale humor, and so much more. Will is very diverse regarding his topics which always find their audience, whether it is a niche like the dinosaur one or a wider one.

In a previous Bored Panda interview, Will shared his biggest influences. "Growing up, I was very influenced by books like Martin Handford’s Where’s Waldo, and comics like Calvin and Hobbes and Little Nemo in Slumberland. Also, the covers of the fantasy novels I read, like Brian Jacques’ Redwall series. I love the illustrations of James Gurney and Shaun Tan, and historical artists like M. C. Escher and Hieronymous Bosch have been influential as well. Most of these influences can be seen in my illustrations rather than my cartoons, though."

There is no red dot where we live. Our soft can-opener says it's too discouraging to fight an enemy that it's impossible to feel, bite, and scratch. So we feel, bite, and scratch her.

I’m the same way. I have to consciously look for the old lady. The young lady’s choker/necklace is the mouth, her ear is the eye and her chin is the nose of the old lady.

For those that don't get it, the woman there is a popular optical illusion where there's simultaneously a young woman and an old woman. Unless you can only see one woman, usually, one's perception keeps darting back and forth from seeing the old woman to seeing young woman and back. So that makes the guy confused.

If you enjoy Will’s comics, don’t forget to follow his works on social media platforms. And if you are hungry for more comics, we have selected a few artists featured on Bored Panda that are of a similar vibe. Jenna Noble’s comics are absolutely ridiculous how absurd they are, Jimmy Craig has a great collection of one-panel minimal comics, and Carlo Ferdon uses not a single word in his comics.

I get that when it was known that the secretion on a toad's back can get people high, they started licking the toads. What I don't understand is how people figured it out in the first place? "What ya wanna do today, Frank?" "I dunno. I'm bored." "Hey! How's about we go out, find some toads, and lick them?" "Count me in!"

The Mentour Pilot I am following on Facebook, an airline pilot and mentor for aspiring pilots, mentioned the most unusual entry in a bird-strike form he'd ever seen. A hedgehog was sucked into an engine of a 737 during take-off at the altitude of 200 feet. Hedgehogs usually don't fly at this altitude, but this one apparently was caught by an eagle, and when the eagle saw this 737 coming towards him let go of the hedgehog and into the engine it went. So yes, under certain circumstances they can move pretty fast. For a while...

It is entirely possible that when massive sauropods reached a certain size, siting, laying, or falling down, was a death sentence, because they couldn't get back up. Also, the young hatched from eggs the size of basketballs because there is a physical limit to egg size as it pertains to oxygen permeability. So how exactly did a giant herd of sauropods care for their young? I like to think the young sat on the adults' backs.

I’ve read theories that those giant dinos spent a lot of time in lakes and bodies of water to ease the weight. I’ve also read that they are constantly eating, all day long, to maintain their weight.

That story about the ‘Bird Professor’ who got a phone call from a drunk group of people at a bar who asked him if hummingbirds had feet. When he said yes there was a massive cheer. Always makes me smile and this made me think of it.

These comics reminded me of the witty, clever, and sometimes absurd comics you see in the New Yorker. I looked Will Santino up and some of his comics have indeed appeared in the New Yorker.
