We can’t get enough of cartoons, especially if they are funny as the ones from Rubes Cartoons. Created by illustrator Leigh Rubin, they are lighthearted, witty, and they cover all sorts of amusing topics.
Rubin started creating Rubes Cartoons 38 years ago, and they have grown to a full-blown franchise. According to the artist’s official website, they are syndicated in more than 400 media outlets all over the world.
The success that Rubin had with Rubes Cartoons also helped him land a unique position. In 2018, he became the first-ever Cartoonist-in-Residence at the prestigious Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.
Speaking about Rubes Cartoons in a recent chat with Bored Panda, Rubin explained that the majority of his works are inspired by pop culture.
“All of this collective pop culture brings us together,” Rubin said. “Whether it’s in motion pictures, books, songs, cartoon characters, or even advertising and commercials. There is so much material there from which to draw inspiration.”
He also added that despite creating Rubes Cartoons for almost four decades, he still enjoys them profoundly.
“To be able to bring a smile or laugh to so many people every day is incredibly gratifying,” he shared.
