Top 10 War and Peas Comics
1. The Mysterious Package
In this comic, a mysterious package arrives, only to be revealed as an empty cardboard box. The comic’s punchline is delivered by a cat, claiming ownership of the box, with no explanation for its mysterious arrival. The humor lies in the absurdity of the situation—the elf and the cat’s nonchalant attitude add an unexpected layer of hilarity to this simple scenario.
2. Aliens’ First Encounter
Two aliens land on Earth, only to be awestruck by the “alpha species”—a cat. Their excitement about meeting the Earth’s superior being is deflated when the cat nonchalantly knocks over their offering. The comic’s twist is funny not only because the aliens are confused but because of the cat’s indifferent attitude, which adds humor to the otherwise serious alien invasion theme.
3. The Lumberjack vs. Hipster Dilemma
When two trees see a lumberjack approaching, they panic until they realize he’s not a threat—it’s just a hipster. The humorous contrast between their initial fear of the lumberjack and the relief at the hipster’s harmless nature is both funny and relatable. The trees’ final reaction adds an extra layer of wit to this comic, making it a standout.
4. Vampire’s Sunbath Mishap
A vampire, excited to spend a nice afternoon outside, applies sunscreen made for “vampires, ghouls, and other dark creatures.” However, he forgets to apply sunscreen to his ears, leading to a classic moment of oversight and comic irony. The twist of his vampire nature, paired with the normalcy of forgetting sunscreen, makes this scenario delightfully absurd.
5. The Massage Happy Ending
In this comic, a customer asks for a “happy ending” at a massage, only to be greeted with a literal interpretation: the end of a book. The humorous misunderstanding between the two characters and the witty punchline offer a sharp commentary on language and expectations. It’s a simple but effective gag that plays with the idea of wordplay.
6. Knight in Shining Armor
A knight arrives at a castle to rescue the princess, but the princess is unimpressed by the knight’s appearance, commenting that his armor doesn’t look very shiny. The twist comes when the knight reveals that he has to do a lot of scrubbing to keep it shiny, making the comic not only funny but also a playful take on the traditional knight-in-shining-armor trope.
7. Homelessness and Snowflakes
A person discusses the philosophical notion that “home is not a place but a person,” only to humorously reveal that they are “pretty much homeless.” The punchline comes when another character, hearing the story, dismisses it with a sarcastic comment, “Great story, snowflake.” The comic’s humor is sharp and biting, addressing themes of isolation with a humorous edge.
8. Lady Red’s Lucrative Business
In this comic, a witch reveals that she has a successful business selling used tampons to vampires online. The absurdity of the business idea, coupled with the nonchalant delivery, makes this comic not only bizarre but incredibly funny. The final reveal, where a vampire shows his enthusiasm for the business, adds a delightful touch of dark humor.
9. The 19-Year-Old Body Joke
A witch lures a man to her place by claiming she has the body of a 19-year-old. When they go to her place, she reveals, with a deadpan expression, that she has two bodies of 19-year-olds—implying that she is a corpse collector. The humor lies in the absurdity and the unexpected nature of the punchline.
10. The Vampire’s Fourth Life
A witch and her cat discuss the vampire’s resolutions for the new year. When the witch asks about his fourth life, the vampire sheepishly explains it was “the shower curtain incident,” adding a hilarious backstory to his multiple lives. The concept of having multiple lives, coupled with the mundane but mysterious explanation, makes for a delightfully humorous scenario.
