Life has a way of turning even the smallest moments into stories worth retelling, especially when they involve awkward misunderstandings, random bad luck, or everyday chaos. When we previously featured John Dabreo’s colorful comic series “3JP Comics” on Bored Panda, readers got a taste of his fast-paced humor and expressive cartoon world.
In his work, John takes ordinary situations and pushes them just far enough into the absurd to make them unforgettable. A trip to the ATM, a quiet day at the beach, or a simple conversation can quickly turn into a punchline, thanks to his bold characters, exaggerated reactions, and sharp comedic timing. Whether the punchline is silly, relatable, or completely unexpected, these comics are a fun reminder that humor can be found almost anywhere.
Scroll down to see more of John Dabreo’s work, and don’t forget to upvote your favorite ones along the way.

"The “Meggie” is a uniquely Trinidadian gesture—part mischief, part mockery, all cultural flair. From schoolyards to workplaces, this playful hand signal has become a staple of Trinbagonian expression." (From triniinxisle.com) Apparently it's a mocking gesture that roughly translates to "fooled you!", "gotcha" or even "in your face!".

What sort of example is this for children of how to write, speak and spell properly. "Wuh" isn't a word, at best it's an animal noise. Appalling.

43Duckies 43Duckies Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago It's part of the local dialect of Trinidad and Tobago; which has the advantage of being pretty easy for English-speakers to follow, if they cared to try. (No, I didn't know where the dialect was from ahead of time, but it was pretty dámned obvious that it was a dialect from somewhere in Africa or the Caribbean, so I looked up the author out of curiosity.) And.... with all due respect (by which I mean, all the respect that you are due), you're a fúcking rácist. I bet you don't think that English verbal fillers like 'um' or 'er' are "at best" animal noises! And it's clear from context that "wuh" isn't even a verbal filler, it's very obviously the equivalent of "what".

Apatheist Apatheist Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 days ago (edited) There's nothing in the description to suggest it's written for a particular dialect, and the people are green, yellow, purple and all sorts of colours, so its origin far from obvious, it just looks like inarticulate youth-speak. My comment was in no way intended as racist, and I am happy to withdraw it - but next time, Hidreley, please be clearer about the origin if the language is a component.

Forrest Hobbs Forrest Hobbs Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 days ago Apatheist: your posts here are very obviously deeply xenophobic. Your excuse that 'My comment was in no way intended as racist' sounds exactly like the pathetic lying excuses Nigel Farage tried ('I never meant it nastily' and suchlike lies) before so many accounts of his youthful racism were published that he changed his excuse to 'I never said anything racist, they're all lying and ganging up on me'. To be getting on with: there's never anything in the descriptions here to identify the dialect of English in use. Why should there be? Read and enjoy - and if you don't enjoy, well then, move on to something else. I note your lie that 'My comment was in no way intended as racist, and I am happy to withdraw it ' - only, you haven't withdrawn it, have you? BP allows you to delete your comments, but you haven't - so, you lied.

Forrest Hobbs Forrest Hobbs Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 days ago Apatheist: us humans are animals. There are languages and dialects other than the ones you know about. These cartoons are great. What's really appalling is not your ignorance and bigotry, but the disgraceful way you suggested that the witty remarks in these captions are 'at best' an 'animal noise'. To answer your rhetorical question: the sort of example this is for children is an excellent one: any English speaking children meeting this would - I assume - be excited and interested either to 1) see their own dialect represented or 2) learn about an unfamiliar form of English, thus enriching their minds.
