Rubes, a syndicated comic strip created by cartoonist Leigh Rubin, has been delighting readers with its offbeat humor and clever wit since its debut in 1984. With a distinctive style and a penchant for turning everyday situations into comedic gems, Rubin has carved out a niche for Rubes in the world of humor comics.
At the heart of Rubes is a collection of anthropomorphic animals, often placed in human-like scenarios that serve as a satirical commentary on the quirks of modern life. Rubin’s ability to infuse animals with human characteristics adds an extra layer of hilarity to the strip, making it both relatable and absurd in equal measure.
The charm of Rubes lies in its simplicity – the clean lines, minimalistic backgrounds, and straightforward panel layouts allow the humor to take center stage. Rubin’s mastery of visual storytelling, combined with his sharp wit, transforms mundane situations into laugh-out-loud moments. Whether it’s cows contemplating the meaning of life in a field or pigs discussing the merits of a mud bath, Rubes consistently finds humor in the ordinary.
