Humor is the light to the darkness in our lives. It asks a question, mocks a given, and makes us laugh even in the most grim situations. People who are able to write jokes are not just funny but observant, insightful and witty. One such artist is Leigh Rubin, who is famous for creating funny comics and their page on Instagram is going viral as the comics are truly funny.

"I love the constant daily challenge of creation. To be sure, some days are easier than others, but to be able to bring a smile or laugh to so many people every day is incredibly gratifying. Of course, it’s especially fun to have multiple layers in a cartoon. If a person has to think for a bit to get the joke, I think it provides a much more rewarding experience. It allows the reader to experience an 'AHA!' moment. I believe it’s important to allow the reader to contribute some of their imagination to get the joke," the artist told Bored Panda.
