35 One-Panel Comics By The New Yorker’s Tom Toro That Say What We Are All Thinking

Published 3 hours ago

Tiny cartoons that perfectly capture little blips of our lives never stop fascinating us. This fun, informative, and dynamic medium can reframe the harsher realities of life into something more palatable. The anxieties we feel about climate change, burnout, economic uncertainty, and even consumerism can all be distilled into an often self-deprecating but funny single image and a single line.

Tom Toro of The New Yorker has honed the art of capturing the overwhelming aspects of modern society through sharp, witty observation. His clean, classic New Yorker style contrasts brilliantly with his unexpectedly biting commentary on politics, social norms, and technology. Scroll down to see a few of our favourite pieces from his collection of absurd yet thought-provoking cartoons that made us laugh about the climate crisis, political chaos, and existential dread without leaving us feeling completely hopeless.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
