Every time I scroll past a John Atkinson comic, I end up laughing and feeling like I accidentally learned something. His series Wrong Hands is packed with smart jokes about art, literature, science, history, and everyday nonsense — the kind of humor that makes you go, “Oh, that’s clever,” right before you laugh.
These are some of my favorite comics from Atkinson. They’re a mix of witty wordplay, cultural nods, and perfectly dry observations that prove you don’t have to be dark or mean to be funny.
