1. Caesar’s Wardrobe Malfunction

When you’re Julius Caesar facing betrayal, you’d think your main concern would be the daggers — but Piraro flips it into a fashion nightmare.
Caesar fretting about his underwear riding up mid-assassination is the perfect absurd distraction, making a grim historic moment bizarrely hilarious.

2. Hemp Flag Revolution

Imagine the American Revolution if Betsy Ross had a side hustle on Etsy. This comic hilariously suggests that the first flag might’ve been made of organic hemp, and yes, it comes pre-distressed for that authentic colonial vibe.

3. Clone Hotline Catastrophe

In a future where relationship advice is complicated by cloning, Dan Piraro imagines a woman confused because her husband and his clones are fighting for her attention. It’s science fiction meets soap opera and it’s ridiculously funny.

4. Relationship Menu Special

Tired of arguing, a man hands his wife a menu: today’s choices are Hungry or Sleepy.
This comic captures the absurdity of emotional relationships boiled down into daily specials — and it’s painfully accurate for anyone in a long-term relationship.

5. Uncle Roy Under the Bed

Every kid fears monsters under the bed, but Piraro suggests something far scarier: dodgy Uncle Roy avoiding his taxes.
It’s that perfect blend of childhood fear and adult reality and it hits way too close to home for some families.

6. Pirate Treasure in the Laundry Room

X marks the spot…right next to the laundry basket? This comic perfectly mocks grand pirate adventures by plunking treasure in the most suburban, boring location imaginable. Adventure — but make it chores.

7. Makeup Advice from Clown Mom

There’s bad advice, and then there’s getting makeup tips from your mom…who happens to look like a full-blown circus clown.
The comic’s absurd reversal of authority is pure comedic gold.

8. Sleepy’s College Struggles

In this comic, Sleepy from Snow White is seen struggling to stay awake at college. Piraro nails the universal experience of trying to “adult” when your entire soul just wants a nap.

9. Cat’s Secret Hatred Hobby

Ever wonder why your cat looks at you with barely concealed loathing? Turns out, it’s a hobby. This panel delivers a twisted, hilarious look into feline psychology — and every cat owner will feel personally attacked.

10. Amnesia Anonymous Meeting

Support groups are supposed to be about remembering, but this group can’t even remember why they’re there.
It’s classic Piraro — taking a simple concept and adding an absurd, hilarious twist.

11. Shrinking Love (and Beds)

Relationships shrinking over time is a tired metaphor — until Piraro literally shrinks the couple’s bed frame and mattress.
It’s a visual gag that’s absurd, relatable, and sneakily poignant.

12. Mickey Mouse’s Existential Crisis

A mouse bemoaning discrimination against cartoon rodents at a bar?
This comic imagines what Disney characters would sound like after a few too many drinks — and it’s both hilarious and a little depressing.

13. Flea Bar Romance

Imagine fleas sitting in a noir-style bar, sipping drinks and reminiscing about old lovers. Piraro’s anthropomorphized bugs have more emotional depth than most TV dramas — and it’s absurdly brilliant.

14. CAPTCHA Wedding Vow

Before you can say “I do,” you have to prove you’re not a robot by solving a CAPTCHA. This comic perfectly satirizes our tech-obsessed world where even love requires a verification code.

15. Grandpa’s Wild Exaggerations

Grandparents always say everything was harder “in their day” and Piraro turns this up to 11. A world where Madonna is considered a saint? Ridiculous, and yet totally believable coming from an old man.

16. Flirting Software Update

In this future, flirting requires a software update — patching out “bugs” and improving “pickup line efficiency.”
Piraro skewers dating culture with perfect absurd humor.

17. HOA War Over Bushes

When suburban Homeowner Associations (HOAs) take shrubbery disputes seriously enough for battlefield tactics, you know absurdity has peaked. This comic is pure satirical madness.

18. Caveman Invents Toilet Paper

In Piraro’s world, cavemen invent toilet paper and society immediately improves. A hilarious and weirdly insightful take on “milestones of civilization.”

19. Velcro Coat Malfunction

Velcro on a date sounds harmless…until your coat sticks to the carpet, dragging you across the restaurant floor. One of the funniest, most slapstick moments Piraro ever drew.

20. Treadmill Existential Crisis

Running in place, getting nowhere fast: modern life, perfectly summed up by a hamster on a treadmill in human clothing.
Existential dread has never been this funny.
