Toothpaste for Dinner

Toothpaste for Dinner cartoons are published daily, and utilize simplistic drawings and short, witty captions/dialogue to comment humorously on what are at times pertinent issues (and other times, they're just silly for the sake of being silly, which I also appreciate.)

I think one of the more interesting (and hilarious) things about these cartoons is that they always have the same strange square-headed characters in them. Perhaps it is the unity and simplicity of these designs that partially enables them to have the impact that they do. While for the most part their intent seems to be humor, they also work to point out the absurd and ridiculous things that happen in our society every day, challenging the public to take another look from a square-headed perspective for a change.
