Funny is what funny does. But what is the real king of comedy? You might be surprised that more people view newspaper and Internet cartoons than all the funny movies, sitcoms, late night shows, and stand-up comedians if they were all lined up side-by-side.
In today's fast-paced world, not surprisingly, many simply do not have time to get their "humor fix" within a thirty minute or hour period. If you really think about it, even when listening to a joke, these days, in person, if it goes beyond twenty to thirty seconds, you are no longer listening, are you? I know I'm yawning by then.
A good single panel comic tells an entire story in a mere millisecond, and, it may take a few more seconds for the reader to "get it", based on their own "laughter quotient", but it can be quite satisfying, and does the trick. A good cartoon that a person enjoys, and modern science says it can increase one's happiness for as long as that image is still in the viewer's psyche. So funny cartoons make for good medicine.
My point is not to tell you to boycott Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Conan, or reruns of Frazier or Seinfeld. They are all very funny, to me, and many others, and I have to see a film in the genre of "Being There", "Meet The Fokkers" or even an Austin Powers once in awhile. But when I have time.
We live in a society with both joys and disappointments daily, it is nice, no pertinent to have a quick humor fix. No other venue can do that like a cartoon, specifically a single panel cartoon, which, if not wordy, satiates me in a way I love to have my belly-laugh fix.
I hereby submit my complication review favorite single-panel cartoons in the order of which I think they satisfy and/or are the funniest. Of course all humor is subjective, so you may have another take on it. In any case, these are my top 6 choices. Londons Times Cartoons is one you might want to bookmark as there are over 8000 cartoons by Rick London and they are funny. Off TheMark by Mark Parisi also has a large inventory but not quite the size as Londons Times. Londons Times are 99% in color, which is oh so joyful for viewing and chuckling (sometimes very loud).
