Bored Panda is getting “Rubes Cartoons” back! Since we’ve highlighted the series on our website a few times, you might already be familiar with it.
The artist previously informed us in our interview that the series is commemorating its 40th anniversary, and that November 1st is the precise date. “I hope it has endured this long because it is consistently funny, relatable, and fresh,” Rubin said.

Here is what we learned from Leigh, the cartoonist, when we contacted him to talk about his work once more.
Initially, the series‘ creator told us which aspects of his work he finds most useful for generating humor: “I believe that a good cartoon becomes ‘art’ when something is left up to the reader’s imagination.” Rubin went on: “The reader is drawn in, the experience is much richer, and the reader has a delightful ‘aha!’ moment when they are able to ‘connect the dots.'”

Leigh said, “Probably too many to list,” in response to a question about particular comedians or comic artists whose work he finds inspiring. The ones that make me think rather than just “hand me a joke” are my favorites.

Leigh Rubin concluded by sharing his response to our question regarding his personal favorite cartoons he has ever made: “I honestly have new ‘favorites’ all the time, but I always think that whichever cartoon gets me through the next deadline is my favorite. I’d like to think that the one I haven’t made yet is my favorite.
