Following in the footsteps of the Perry Bible Fellowship and Cyanide and Happiness, Mr. Lovenstein is a quirky web comic series that has a penchant for the ludicrous and absurd. Featuring mostly self-contained stories with simple, but expressive character drawings, the collection of funnies takes readers on narrative journeys filled with wit, surprises and enjoyable pop culture references.
I’ve actually learned a thing or two skimming through these hilarious comics. For example, the next time you have a 1000-word paper due, simply draw an inexplicable doodle and tell your professor that the image is worth a thousand words.
The Mr. Lovenstein web comic series is the brainchild of J.L. Westover. To date, there are 180 kooky tales. Fans of the series may purchase apparel and office supplies to show their affinity for oddball humor to the world on the Mr. Lovenstein website.
