Two grotesque, identical aliens are having a conversation about not trusting the new guy because he looks weird, and who is a human standing awkwardly in a suit behind them. The irony of their statement highlights their own bizarre appearance compared to the human.

The aliens have spoken: irony transcends galaxies.

During a confrontation, the Wicked Witch of the West, riding her broom and gesturing menacingly, declares, “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!” Dorothy, standing confidently with her hands on her hips, is flanked by a massive two-headed dog with spiked collars, snarling fiercely. The witch appears startled, caught off guard by the intimidating creature. The scene humorously reimagines a classic moment from The Wizard of Oz.

Things took a very unexpected twist as the classic villain underestimated her opponent—and their guardian.

If you were Dorothy, how would you handle this beastly surprise?

Meanwhile, a soccer player dramatically claims he's "seeing a white light" over a seemingly minor issue, highlighting the humorous contrast between the two sports' stereotypes.

Kathy's leadership style is portrayed as overly considerate in this comic. She silently "shushes" her team during a meeting, but most of the attendees are either asleep or on the verge of dozing off. Her attempts at quiet leadership lead to unintentional hilarity.

Kathy believed silence was the secret to productive meetings, but the team clearly mistook it as nap time.

The comic shows Brother Mervyn, a monk who has just stubbed his toe on a table, breaking his seven-year silent meditation journey by angrily shouting symbols representing expletives. The humor lies in the dramatic undoing of his lengthy silence by something as mundane and frustrating as a stubbed toe.

Sometimes, even the most serene journeys end with a stubbed toe and a few choice words. 🦶💥

If a monk breaks his vow of silence and no-one is around to hear it, did it happen?

A cartoon showing Darth Vader and a Jedi with light sabers, being held apart by a man in a suit and sunglasses. The mediator says, “OK, before we start, how about a pre-conflict hug?” Two other Jedi-like figures stand nearby, witnessing the scene.

A comic of a corporate boardroom meeting where the CEO sits at the head of the table with a big smile, while the other executives appear exhausted after an overly long emotional check-in session. The caption at the bottom states, “Mindful leadership gone too far: After three hours of emotional check-ins, the CEO finally moved on to the next agenda item.” The scene exaggerates the idea of mindfulness being overused in a business setting, delaying actual work.

When mindfulness at work takes longer than the quarterly report.

A comic showing a terrified man in a huge hot dog being held in the hand of a giant, angry pickle with sharp teeth, ready to eat him. The caption humorously suggests Jack ignored warnings not to climb the giant cucumber vine and is now “about to be in a pickle.” The comic plays on a literal and figurative interpretation of the phrase "being in a pickle."

Jack was about to discover his expiry date.

A comic featuring two monks. One monk stands with a serious expression, saying, "I think you may be missing the point of the exercise," while the other, sitting cross-legged and smiling, is writing in a "Gratitude Journal." He lists things like coffee, chocolate, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead, showing a lighthearted misunderstanding of gratitude practice. The comic humorously contrasts deep mindfulness with modern comforts.

Some monks focus on enlightenment; others focus on Netflix and snacks.

A comic of a meditation class where everyone looks calm and focused except for one man with wide eyes. He is deep in thought, with a thought bubble that reads, "Why can’t I meditate? I’m failing at meditation... wait, can you even fail at meditation?" The others around him remain peaceful, unaware of his internal struggle.

When you cannot focus on focus.

A comic of a nervous-looking man sitting in an optometrist’s chair wearing eye exam goggles. The eye chart in the background spells out a hidden message: "YOUR WIFE AND I ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR SORRY NOT."

When the optometrist knows more about your life than you do.

A black-and-white comic of a man crying excessively in a garden, with tears spraying like a fountain, watering the plants. A watering can sits beside him, suggesting his tears are replacing it. Two coworkers watch with concern while another person tends to a bush in the background.

When tears become the new irrigation system, everyone wins—except HR.
