Let us introduce you to Jim Shoenbill, an illustrator on a mission to make people’s days a little brighter through positive comedy. He draws funny one-panel comics that describe strange and absurd scenarios in a little different version of ordinary life. A deer can be a stand-up comedian in Jim’s universe, Jesus is no longer a miracle worker, but an optometrist, and beverages can communicate, among other things. According to the artist, he simply turns his distractions and strange thoughts into amusing cartoons “to make the world a better place.”Jim’s work has appeared in publications such as The Oldie, Alta, Women’s World, American Legion Magazine, and others. So, without further ado, scroll down and dive into the sea of wit and puns. Upvote your favorite illustrations to let us know the ones you like most!

The artist said he has always enjoyed drawing and reading newspaper cartoons. He studied art in high school and college, but owing to unhappiness with fine art schooling and a “desire to make a living,” he shifted to computer technology as his creative outlet. After a long period of tension, Jim began to sketch again, this time with the intention of making others laugh through cartoons.
