For me, a big treat is the cartoons of Jason Adam Katzenstein. I'm pasting three here.
JAK takes high-stakes human situations and makes them absurd. A painful breakup? Imagine King Arthur at the table: "It is not you. It is we." Struggling with daily life? Imagine you're a grain product: "You can't be an everything bagel to all people." Risking your finances in a dicey maneuver? Imagine your opponent is Goofy, from Disney World. ("He has a tell.....")
JAK's minimalism and his tiny details are delightful to me. A king doesn't use contractions: "It is we." I also like the period--in place of an exclamation point--when a gambler whispers, "He has a tell." Important to "play it cool"--!
