About This Silly Place
The Funny Cartoon is a love letter to the funny pages. We catalogue the greatest comic strips ever drawn — from the newsprint legends your grandparents clipped out of the Sunday paper to the webcomics filling your group chats today — and point you straight to the official places to read them.
What you'll find here
- 248 comic strips, each with creator info, history and a hand-written description
- 14 categories so you can browse by mood — animals, family, geekery, gags
- Official links only — every "Read it" button goes to the creator's or syndicate's own site
What you won't find here
Pirated strips. The comics themselves belong to their brilliant creators and their syndicates — we're the cheerful card catalogue, not the library. When something here makes you snort-laugh, go buy a book collection. Cartoonists run on coffee and royalties.
Wait, some pages DO show real strips!
Yes — legally, and we're proud of it. Vintage classics like Krazy Kat and Little Nemo display genuine scans that are in the public domain (published before 1931), sourced from Wikimedia Commons. A few modern gems — xkcd, Pepper&Carrot, Mimi & Eunice — are published by their creators under Creative Commons licenses that allow sharing with attribution, which every embed includes. Everything else links out, as it should.
