Tim Haggerty has spent more than 45 years making people laugh through cartoons. Throughout his career, his single-panel cartoons and humorous illustrations have appeared in over 40 national publications, including MAD, National Lampoon, Playboy, and Penthouse. His work has also been featured by a wide range of clients, from Apple Computers to Children's Television Workshop.

After stepping away from commissioned work, the artist found himself returning to cartooning simply for the joy of it. Without editors or deadlines guiding the process, he began creating single-panel cartoons again for the first time in decades, letting his ideas develop freely. 

Scroll down to enjoy a selection of his strips, and don't forget to check out more of his work on Instagram and Substack.

    I can't decide if that's a good idea or not? Opinions? Less expensive and less maintenance than an aquarium.

    With sufficient air, that may not be too bad. Orbital mechanics say he'll come back in 90 minutes, or 45 minutes if you're lucky. Providing he has a locator beacon.

    "Berman and West put bridge-inspired truss structures in bras, distributing a claimed 80 per cent of the bosom’s weight to the body’s core, rather than to the shoulders and neck. A truss takes a flat plane, like a bracket, and redirects the load."
