Brevity: Hey, where's my dog.

Single-panel cartoons work well for imminent death gags.

Brevity: Chief, we found some Mentos. This may have been a lighthearted prank gone awry.

It's the goat that especially gets me.

Brevity: Scram, filthy animals!

This cartoon is hilariously ironic because homeless people are filthy animals, too.

Brevity: King of Beepers

Considering the constraints of the single-panel cartoon, Brevity couldn't really have done this joke any better. Beyond the mere gag of nobody using beepers any more, it actually does a pretty good job of establishing the character, which is impressive considering it's not someone we've ever seen before or will ever see again.

Unfortunately, 30 Rock did its own variation on the exact same joke, and Brevity's version pales rather harshly in comparison.

Brevity: Stop it.

Why is Spock green?

Brevity: Good heavens, a deep sea cow!

I'm confused as to how a pair of apparently illiterate marine biologists made it through their Ph.D. programs.
