The comic creation process always tests the mettle and knack for creativity of the artist. Sure, you might have a few original ideas when you start, but as you keep making them, the well of ideas runs dry, and you have to make stuff up out of seemingly nothing. Ironically, most comic artists draw inspiration from mundane, regular life stuff, a place which most of us try to get out of by consuming these same comics, which is even doubly ironic.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Today's comics are by Matt Reuter, and as the previous paragraph might suggest, they mostly stem from insights about regular day-to-day life. The cartoonist, designer and illustrator from Brooklyn, NY might be considered a classical comic artist, a cartoonist, and his style supports this: a single image that acts as a setup, and a description that acts as a punchline. They look as if they came out straight out of a newspaper!

It IS his right... And his own responsibility to face the consequences. Meanwhile, people who don't get the vaccine harm everyone else.
Each panel of Reuter's comics can stand on its own, and there's no need to sum up Matt's comics into a singular theme or a topic or explain them, but if someone actually had to, Matt's work could be summarized as an attempt to capture the zeitgeist of the modern times. If you didn't know, zeitgeist, or a spirit of the age, is a set of invisible influences and value systems that give unique characteristics to a certain era in world history.

Texas doesn’t really suck. It’s the government. I have to say this because I’m from Texas. I hope Texans will fight the bad new laws and get their rights back.

So, we've stated that Matt Reuter is very sensitive to the zeitgeist of our era, but what does it actually mean in concrete examples? If you scroll through the comics, you'll notice that all of the sets and pieces of our age are there: technology, social media platforms, online behavior—all of these topics are extensively covered and commented on by Matt Reuter's comics, and in a very witty way, if I might add. Conspiracy theorists, social media shenanigans, adventures on the internet, the curiosities of modern life and its adventures—all of these things seem like the main source of inspiration for the artist.

And how does a small government force a multinational behemoth to do anything? Asking for a friend who assists a small country's small government.

Another one of the more frequent topics that Matt likes to explore is daily life, though it's much less noticeable than technological novelties, and it's very interesting why: we don't notice the things that we're used to; the usual things of our everyday seem uninteresting and mundane, and often we have to work real hard to make our routine seem even remotely interesting. However, for Matt, the topics of everyday life, the spirit of our age, and the witty commentary all go hand in hand and work together to make for an interesting comic.

Recently, Bored Panda has been blessed by a slew of new and old comics, and we've published 10 comics just for today! If you're a fan of comics, without a doubt this is great news. Let us offer you some. These witty comics about everyday life show how artists can have completely different approaches to the same topic that we're covering here today. Dennis Goris draws comics in a single-panel style, much like Matt often does. And here's some comics by WTFrame that will show you everyday life stuff from a completely new and hilarious perspective. So check them all out, and make sure you don't forget to support Matt Reuter and other artists by following them on their social media.

Except we won't, because most of us can remember candidates on both sides who genuinely wanted to serve the country without self-aggrandizing and spoke out against their supporters' racist remarks. Recently, though, one party seems to have decided those bugs are features to "motivate the base." I'm also old enough to remember a different definition of "base motivation."

Me neither. It's even better and healthier not to make the bed every morning https://www.simplemost.com/heres-compelling-reason-should-not-your-make-bed-everyday/

When we moved to a new house, I made a resolution to make my bed every morning (I was never made to do so as a child, and so never really had the habit). Then my furbaby passed, and I adopted a new guy. I lost ownership of my bed, it's his now, and I had to retire the nice sheets, the bedspread, and decorative pillows, because it was either that stuff or him. I chose him. He's curled up right here beside me now, snoring softly, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Our office did a bunch of similar puns based on "splin", a sorta tall omega. Squared off it's a "splin can" which led to a row of them doing the "splin can can can"
