WHAT IS GOING ON
As legend will have it, while still a suckling infant Gorko EIG Raddy cut his baby teeth on one-panel comics, starting off on Burgundy, if you will, then hitting the harder stuff. There was something so entrancingly photographic about the one-panel toon that cast its spell on the poor child, something the French call laychay veetreenay, the sensation of licking the lensfinder of your true love while illegally scaling a tall building in your tempestuous late twenties.
So why not, despite making no attempt at developing his own drawing skills, or at least a signature stye that didn’t look horrible, try his hand at one-panel jokes himself?
HOW IT WENT
The jokes soon devolved into simple memes or emojis featuring stick people stuck between sandwiches and lifting gigantic pieces of furniture. It was strange, but was it funny? BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE FUNNY. PEOPLE DON’T LIKE STRANGE. Some experts believe that the Raddy memes may have been extremely hilarious in context, with a friend named Jack, over a three-day weekend, but who can say for sure through these, the tides of history.
Other critics just covered their eyes.

The following are some of the comic abortions set to paper that Summer of 2021.
