# Cynical Serviette Cartoons Life Musings Become Amusingly Acrimonious on a Matta Napkin By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-07-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matta-napkin References: [thisisnthappiness](http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/54520986106/matta-napkin) & [mattainc.blogspot.sg](http://mattainc.blogspot.sg/) On the Matta Napkin blog, the author's thoughts about life, religion, society and popular culture become succinctly stated with amusing cartoon images that bring every point home. Limited to the space of a napkin, each statement becomes a well thought out tweet with minimalist line drawings to accompany the words and give the reader a bit of a visual. Each one makes a striking statement that will either enrage you or will have you nodding your head in agreement and laughter, either way they always get an emotional response from the reader. Provocative and quirky, the Matta Napkin blog follows the musings of a cartoonist who wants to spread his pun-filled gospel to the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Illustrations:** Opportunity for design and advertising agencies to explore creative ways of conveying messages with minimalist line drawings. - **Satirical Social Commentary:** Opportunity for media outlets to tap into the rising interest in satirical social commentary as a form of entertainment and education. - **Short-form Content:** Opportunity for content creators to leverage the trend of short-form content by using the limited space of a napkin or tweet to create impactful messages. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertising agencies to incorporate minimalist illustrations in their campaigns and explore new ways of storytelling through visual communication. - **Media:** Opportunity for media companies to create and distribute satirical social commentaries in different formats to reach a wider audience and increase engagement. - **Content Creation:** Opportunity for content creators to utilize short-form content to create impactful messages that resonate with their audiences through creative storytelling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Humorous Parenting Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-pray-cry.md) - [Art Doodle-Collaborative Napkins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection.md) - [Career Reflection Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/being-honest-by-ignacio.md) - [Novelty Polling Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funnypoll.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Educational Linguistic Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/why-is-it-called-that.md) - [Internet Humor News](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo.md) - [Artist-Designed Collectible Dining Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins.md)
