If you're a long-time Bored Panda reader, this Chilean cartoonist Karlo Ferdon is probably a familiar name to you. He creates wordless and minimalist, yet eloquent one-panel comics that, we believe, can make you smile.

The artist has previously told us that the ideas for illustrations come to him randomly but his 'secret' formula is "pretty much putting the characters in everyday situations and having absurd results with a touch of surprise."

The artist has previously revealed to Bored Panda that he had fun creating comics from a very young age, so it comes as no surprise that his main influences are the comics he read as a child. “Comics such as the Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, Mampato, Condorito, and many more were the most memorable for me!”

"At the beginning, my works were published in press, local newspapers, and magazines. Little by little social networks also started to give artists more independence, and before I knew it there were Fotologs, Blogs, and now even Facebook and Instagram pages," the artist has previously shared with Bored Panda.

As of today, Karlo has more than 27 thousand followers on Instagram. His illustrations stand out with their ability to convey a deeper meaning without any words and that requires some talent! Let us know what you think about these comics in the comments!

Something about mountains and Mohammed, jungles and urban warfare. And Ukraine.

I think it's about the dude crawling in camouflage and the others walking normally with what's looking like camouflage?
