Actually had a dog eat my homework once. I was in third grade and my puppy got ahold of it. I was so afraid of telling my teacher cause I knew she wouldn't believe me, so I took all the scraps I could find and I taped them together. It looked horrible and half the answers were missing, but when she asked me what happened and I told her, she just laughed and laughed. Said she'd give me full credit solely for trying so hard to turn it in anyways. Lol
That was sweet of the teacher, but I can feel the panic you had to have been in.

Given the chance Bored Panda reached out to Glenn Jones, who as we mentioned previously is a renowned cartoonist and t-shirt designer known for his sharp-witted and intellectual ideas that he skillfully transforms into amusing illustrations.
When asked about the unique concepts behind his designs, Jones shared, "I love playing around with the familiar, taking things we see every day and giving them a twist. It's about looking at the world from a slightly different angle, adding a little humor and surprise to everyday life." He credits his avid reading habit for providing a myriad of stories, facts, and perspectives that spark his creative ideas.
“Mother, I want blue ink for my birthday!” “I’m sorry son, but you know that costs too much.”
Discussing his evolution as an artist over two decades, Jones said, "My style has certainly grown over the years, much like a tree, you could say. It's still me, but it's a me that has been weathered and matured by experiences. I'd like to think that my recent designs have more subtlety, more layers to them, while still maintaining that core element of playfulness." He reflected on his artistic journey as a mix of challenges and triumphs, each shaping his artistic growth.
What triggers me the most is how all the superheroes are from DC, except Spider-Man from the MCU who is just casually chilling
They had the perfect opportunity for Gorilla Glue from Marvel's M'Baku

Jones finds inspiration for his quirky scenarios in the mundane. He stated, "So many overlooked, underappreciated moments happening right under our noses. I find the humor and beauty in those mundane moments and aim to translate that into my work." He believes life isn't boring, but our perspective can often make it seem that way.
He mentioned how his hobby of designing t-shirts transformed his career and advised others seeking to turn their passion into a profession, saying, "Be persistent, be patient, and most importantly, never stop learning. Passion is your fuel, but knowledge is your compass."
On the specifics of t-shirt design, the artist mentioned it's a "balance of artistic vision and practical design." He takes into account factors like layout, colors, and how the design will look on different body types. He emphasizes creating designs that are eye-catching but also comfortable to wear. He concluded, "It's a wonderful challenge, and I absolutely love it.""

I was just talking about plane crashes with my boyfriend and a co-worker; I said "crashes are the safest when on a Boeing-747, they semi float so you just gotta worry about the sharks."

Load More Replies...I used to tell people that after I got out of prison, I'd hire a fire helicopter and have them put different colors of paint in the tanks, then fly over the prison spraying everyone and everything. Years of nothing but beige and grey does that to you. When I was released, I had several hours to kill at the airport. I just looked at all the colors in people's clothing. Everyone was so bright and pretty.
Well, it certainly would inject some levity in an otherwise stressful situation. I mean, who can resist laughing at whooping cushions and fart jokes? We’re all 9 years old on the inside. Or at least, we should be.

Why are people commenting about Tony Hawk for this one? Tony was a skateboarder, commenting something about Dave Mira or Matt Hoffman would make more sense; you know because they rode BMX...

I think, actually, sharks are about as dangerous to mice as they are to humans.
