Here’s a cartoon that always gets a laugh – especially from anyone who’s ever tried something daring and found that the real challenge wasn’t quite what they expected! In this black-and-white drawing, a parachutist has just completed his jump, but his landing hasn’t gone quite according to plan.
He’s standing on the ground, his parachute spread out behind him – and his trousers are round his ankles, having been yanked down by the ripcord.
Next to him stands a woman, looking completely unimpressed. The caption reads: “IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PULL MY RIPCORD.”
It’s a simple gag – a classic example of how one unexpected visual twist can turn an everyday situation into comedy.
The humour comes from that universal mix of embarrassment and inevitability: no matter how often he jumps, this poor man’s wardrobe malfunction is guaranteed!
The woman’s deadpan reaction completes the joke perfectly, letting the reader fill in the back-story and the awkward silence that must follow.
You can now find this cartoon printed on a wide range of gifts in my Zazzle store.
Whether you’re shopping for a pilot, parachutist, or someone who loves aviation humour, it makes a fun talking point.
It’s available on notebooks, magnets, tote bags, plaques, bottle openers, and T-shirts – all printed in crisp black and white so the cartoon line work really stands out.

Each product makes a great novelty gift for anyone who loves aviation or enjoys a laugh.
The notebooks are ideal for jotting down flight logs or sketches, while the T-shirts and tote bags show off the design in everyday life.
The fridge magnets and bottle openers add a light-hearted touch to the kitchen or bar area, and the plaques make a great talking point for home offices and man caves.
This cartoon is part of my growing collection of humorous drawings available through Zazzle, all designed to make people smile.
So if you enjoy a bit of airborne absurdity, why not check out the full range? It’s proof that even the best-planned jump can have an unexpected twist at the end – especially when the ripcord’s involved!
