Leave the Greenhouse at Home!

"Caravan is Being Towed with a Greenhouse" is a scene which shows a person inside a mobile greenhouse, which is being towed by a caravan, and the caravan itself is being pulled by a car. 

It’s an absurd chain of transport that exaggerates just how far some people might go to combine their love of gardening with a holiday adventure.

I think what makes this cartoon funny is the layering of logistics – and impracticality.

The visual gag shows both the dedication of the gardener and the ridiculousness of the scenario.

This cartoon is a gentle nod to our hobbies and passions, and the lengths we might imagine going to indulge them, even when the plan seems completely over-the-top. 

The combination of everyday objects – a car, a caravan, and a greenhouse – in an unusual arrangement sparks immediate amusement, while also celebrating creativity and imagination.

Whether you’re a gardening enthusiast, a fan of absurd humour, or just someone who enjoys a fun cartoon, this piece brings a playful reminder that life – and cartoons – are best enjoyed with a little bit of whimsy and a lot of imagination.

Beauty Salon Consent Form..?

Sometimes a single cartoon can capture an entire moment perfectly, and this one is an example.

Drawn by me, it depicts a scene in a beauty salon where a man hesitantly asks, "Do I have to sign a consent form or anything?" 

The humour is immediate – it plays on the idea that visiting a salon could feel like preparing for an operation in hospital, and exaggerates the apprehension many feel in that situation.

Many of us have felt that mix of curiosity and nervousness when booking a new treatment or appointment, and this scene captures it in a lighthearted, playful way. 

The simplicity of the dialogue paired with the expressive reactions in the drawing helps the joke land instantly, without needing any extra context.

Cartoons like this are a reminder that humour often comes from everyday situations – those small, slightly awkward moments we all recognise but rarely talk about. 

By exaggerating the idea of paperwork and formalities in a beauty salon, it gently pokes fun at our cautious side, while keeping the overall tone cheerful and relatable.

I always enjoy seeing how a simple scene can spark a smile or a knowing nod, and this cartoon has done just that. 

Whether you’re a regular at salons or just someone who enjoys the little ironies of life, I hope it brings a bit of light-hearted amusement to your day.
