They named names!

You might not think that there is much of a problem with proper naming systems.

However, when you think about the fact that we call ourselves Earthlings and yet we call creatures on Mars Martians, you should see an obvious problem, glaring right in your face.

To be fair, it’s not entirely your fault that you are part of the collective Earthling experiment. You didn’t name these words, did you?

Whatever your stance on the issue, know that it was first drawn in this cartoon by Laughzilla and published as the great Earthian or Marsling cartoon for The Daily Dose comic strip on February 24, 2012 which was well complemented by the Top Ten nomenclature jokes.

Yeah, it’s good to laugh, even at the cost of offending ETs or Humanoids.

Who will you always love?

So it happens that in the record of history, the American pop star diva was laid to rest at the same time that the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, was slaughtering more of his Syrian subjects.

Despite the unlikely combination of the two stories, Laughzilla found a way to do just that with this diva / dictator editorial cartoon for the bitter pill webcomic at The Daily Dose in this classic Assad / Houston cartoon.

By the way, if you don’t yet own your own copy of The Daily Dose editorial cartoon books, you might want to, with this caveat: The humor kills and the illustrations are to die for.

Eet eez Cold in Paris, Cheri!

February is a time of a great lack of heat in the Northern Hemisphere of Planet Earth.

Laughzilla considered the Parisians enduring the coldest winter on record and then put forth this Occupy Winter cartoon illustration for The Daily Dose. Made for the #OccupyWinter movement this caricature depicts Winter in Paris with special guest Penguin in Beret, who loves little more than a fresh baguette, a bottle of red wine, and an anonymous journal to read while the Eiffel Tower takes a beating from the cold wind, rain and snow.

This cartoon markes a special turn of events, returning full color to The Daily Dose, a feature long left out of the popular web comic strip and joke site.

What's in your mug?

The English have it all wrong. Don’t get me wrong. I love England. Well, parts of it, anyway.

Laughzilla was tasked with creating an ad campaign for a highly reputable caffeine company, and this is the result. Another rejected ad campaign for The Daily Dose, conceived and published for The Real Tea Realty Company.

This cartoon was created in partnership with the #OccupyCaffeine movement, which is very active early in the day, and again shortly after lunch.

Once you’ve got your jitters under control, be sure to put the get your very own personalized coffee mug with this funny comic strip emblazoned upon it from The Daily Dose shop.

Phil and his shadow

In the Winter of 2012, Punxatawney Phil was once again ritually required by the grand poobahs of that small Pennsylvania town to once again put his prodigious propheteering to prognosticate the seasonal forecast.

Would Winter want with the break of day? Or would the world’s most famous groundhog see his shadow and return to his sleepy time for another six weeks?

Laughzilla put the occasion to paper with this Occupy Shadows cartoon along with a Top 10 #OccupyShadows jokes list.

Well, wouldn’t you know it, he saw his shadow. Yes, the Winter of 2012 was destined tor last, and last, and last another six whole weeks. So sayeth the repetitive rodent of Bill Murray fame.

Now that you’re tucked away for the season, why not crawl out from under your rock and download a copy of Themes, Memes and Laser Beams, or another classic collectible cartoon book from The Daily Dose series.

What color hat is your SEO wearing?

As 2012 rolled in, lots of things were changing online. One of the big changes was the way that Google indexed pages by relevance, personalization, freshness, and other untold parameters known only to select Googlers in the empire of the Goog. This was known as part of the Panda update, and it rolled on for months after the initial release of their fresh algorithm was implemented worldwide.

Suddenly, sites that had stale old content were flushed out of the top ranks, and sites that had fresh, high quality, authoritative content were bumped up.

Laughzilla brought this sea change to book with this hilarious caricature of what can happen to anyone whose site gets hit by blackhat seo aka: hacking, cracking, site defacing, black ops search engine manipulation, and other lovely terms to refer to the way someone breaks someone else’s website.

Now that you’ve gotten more than a giggle out of this spin on SEO and PPC, be sure to head on over the Laughzilla’s book shop and pick yourself up a copy of his latest works in print.  Your bookshelf and your friends who read editorial cartoons will surely appreciate it and think you’re the coolest kid on the block, even if you’re an old gaffer.

Watt do your bulbs think of when they have an idea?

Well here it is. The new year. 2012. The year that sees the end of the last Mayan calendar.

And just when you thought a dead civilization had run out of things to say, The Daily Dose published this non sequitur cartoon about what light bulbs think of.

You might say it’s iconic. We think it’s ironic. Whatever your tonic, don’t switch off the lights before you see what’s shining for 2012 from the pen and paper laughs from Laughzilla.

And naturally, once you’re done laughing it up, get yourself (or get a friend) a copy of The Daily Dose Editorial Cartoon Books and spread the good cheer around.

How high is your dexterity?

Quick on his feet, … the ninja is often said to be nimble as a cat. So what is a cat nimble as?

Laughzilla stripped that question down for a comic strip issue for The Daily Dose which then proposed the top ten list of #occupydexterity jokes.
