1. Melvin’s Awkward Rejection

Getting rejected is painful. But hearing, “I can’t date a man with perkier breasts than mine,” adds a whole new layer of humiliation.
Dan Gibson brilliantly captures that moment when you realize some comments hurt… and then hurt again because you can’t stop laughing.

2. The Emergency “Handle”

In a desperate situation, you grab what you can even if it’s awkwardly located. This comic turns a serious emergency into a hilariously inappropriate “heave-ho” moment, and the sheer ridiculousness will leave you snorting.

3. The Cork in the Wrong Place

Sometimes when things smell awful, you need drastic action. This dark gag shows a friend heroically (and hysterically) trying to block the source with a cork — because that’s apparently better than suffering.

4. Rock and Roll Resuscitation

Nothing says date night like the paramedics standing by. This cartoon hilariously mixes romance, rock music, and the grim reality of age — and somehow makes it feel like the wildest concert ever.

5. Raisin Horror

One woman’s snack turns into an unforgettable horror story. When she mistakes a hair-covered raisin for… well, not a raisin, you’ll never look at trail mix the same way again. Gibson knows how to ruin snacks hilariously.

6. Mosquito Mystery

Explaining weird red bumps is never easy, especially when your friend thinks you’re flashing him your knees… or worse. This panel is the perfect combination of misunderstanding and darkly hilarious embarrassment.

7. Mammogram Mayhe

When a mammogram at Seniors Villa becomes a full-on public event, you know you’re in Gibbleguts territory. It’s all exaggerated ridiculousness, with enough awkwardness to make you laugh and wince at the same time.

8. Grandma’s Secret Heirloom

Families usually pass down jewelry or traditions — but Dan Gibson’s twisted mind has them passing down a very dark and unexpected heirloom instead. You’ll laugh, then grimace, then laugh again.

9. Boy Scout Disaster

Helping an old lady cross the street usually earns a merit badge unless she refuses to let go. This comic brilliantly shows how one good deed can spiral hilariously out of control.

10. Bikini Refund Fiasco

Gravity is undefeated, and this poor woman’s attempt to return a sagging bikini is both relatable and painfully funny. Gibson captures the brutal honesty of aging with a wink.

11. True Friendship (Bathroom Edition)

Friends hold your hair back when you’re sick. But what if your hair comes off in one piece because it’s a wig? This one hits you with surprise, laughter, and a touch of horror.

12. Hamster-Powered Pacemaker

In a budget-cut world, a hamster running inside your chest might be the best healthcare option left. Only Dan Gibson could make medical malpractice look this adorably horrifying.

13. Senior Romance (Behind the Bleachers)

A wrinkly, awkward makeout session behind the school bleachers? It’s heartwarming, disturbing, and hysterical all at once — a Dan Gibson specialty.

14. Santa Claus Gets Owned

Santa sneaking into houses is cute until a feisty senior mistakes him for an intruder and swings her cane. A holiday comic that’s equal parts dark and hilarious.

15. Seniors Ride the Roller Coaster

False teeth flying, wigs lifting off its chaos on the senior discount ride. This comic captures the pure visual madness that happens when you mix thrill rides with arthritis.

16. The Lucky SOB

Sometimes you’re just lucky enough to have bird poop land perfectly… or unluckily, depending on your perspective. This panel’s surprise ending feels both disgusting and oddly triumphant.

17. Doctor’s “Supportive” Advice

Getting old comes with challenges like your grandkids giving you black eyes by making you jump rope. Gibson delivers another perfect mix of physical humor and real-life struggle.

18. Proctologist Nightmare

When your doctor’s finger is bandaged to the size of a baseball bat, it might be time to find a new proctologist. This one-panel horror story is grotesque and hilarious at once.

19. Wet Shawl Contest Madness

Move over wet T-shirt contests seniors have wet shawl nights, and it’s even more terrifying. Loose dentures, sagging everything — and way too much cheering.

20. Santa’s Final “Ho”

Three “hos” were all it took to get knocked out. This senior lady has zero patience for festive misunderstandings and Dan Gibson turns it into one of his most laugh-out-loud Christmas comics yet.
