One of my cartoons plays on the classic chat-up line “Do you come here often?” but with a digital twist.
Set inside a cyber-café, a man tries out a line on someone nearby, only this time the familiar phrase has been reworked into: “Do you dot com here often?”
By swapping “come” with “dot com” – the well-known suffix for internet domain names – the cartoon takes a timeless icebreaker and updates it for the internet age.
The humour works because the line is instantly recognisable, but the playful substitution ties it directly to the world of computers, online culture and cyber cafés, which were once a hub of early internet life.
It’s a clever pun that bridges everyday social interaction with technology, making it both topical and funny.
Like many of my cartoons, it relies on a simple twist of language that delivers a quick laugh while reflecting the times in which it was created.
