When you forget a towel… …again.

Our showing person here is doing that thing where they’re decided to be quick and fast and lunging across the bathroom to the towel surely won’t make too much mess… but they’re wrong. They’re oh so very wrong. The formally pristine bathroom now looks like an aquatic crime scene, it looks like Doggaland after the flood, it looks like someone showered in the middle of the room and no matter how furiously they dry themselves it’s not going to change the fact that their partner is going to walk in and go “oh my god what happened here?!

When you’re on holiday…

In this one our hero is pouring what looks like the last bit of rise into a glass while showering, presumably getting ready to leave the lovely holiday villa and hit the local town where they’ll realise it’s full of drunken stag do’s and that while they chose a beautiful part of the island, the local town is actually a living nightmare but it’s too late now because there’s no taxis and we’re all blaming Steven because he was the one who really pushed this group of 30 somethings to go on this ill advised adventure in the first place.

When you accidentally remember everything again…

You know what’s worse than accidentally remembering everything again? Realising that you drew this series like five years ago and you’ve only just realised you spelt accidentally wrong.

When you get shampoo in your eye even though you’re a fully grown adult…

In this image our character in the shower is doing that “aaaw, there’s something in my eye” move, which if it’s shampoo is pretty embarrassing if you’re not a child. You know what else is embarrassing though? To this day I still don’t know if ‘no tears’ is talking about not crying or your hair not ripping apart. Honestly, English is a terrible language for stuff like this.

When you come up with the perfect comeback for that argument from five years ago…

In this cartoon, our showering hero is now experiencing what the French call “L'esprit de l'escalier” - or staircase wit, in short - that excellent reply you only think of once you’ve left your friend’s apartment and are now in the staircase. In this case, the reply has come a full five years later, and if this does happen to you I can highly recommend making the call to that friends and finishing the argument they presumably forgot having with you about a week after it happened. BUT NOT YOU - You’re going to finally win that argument a full five years later. Trust me, it won’t be weird.

When you’re seriously considering calling in sick…

Here we are leaning against the wall of the shower, trying to convince ourselves that maybe you do feel a little bit ill, and maybe yeah, actually it would be UNPROFESSIONAL to come into the office today. Yeah… to hell with Gary. Tell him you’re not coming in and he’s just gonna have to deal with it. You deserve this.

Chaz Hutton @chazhutton.com · 21/09/2026

When you do the thing you don’t admit to…

In this shower there’s someone doing the thing that obviously nobody actually does unless you do it too in which case I mean… yeah obviously we do that, unless you don’t, in which case, me neither.

When you’re acting in a film and having a shower dramatically…

In this shower, our person is showering with their face directly in the stream which is a truly wild way to have a shower, yet it is the ONLY way anyone has a shower in a film… unless of course they’ve been through something incredibly traumatic, in which case sitting in the shower fully clothed tends to be the preferred method.

Chaz Hutton @chazhutton.com · 21/09/2026

When you realise showering together wasn’t as romantic as you thought…

This time around we’ve got two people in the shower, one of whom is stuck outside of the stream of water and is now beginning to question the entire relationship - except of course it’s not a relationship because, if it were, these two people would have worked out that showering together never really works, so these two are quite obviously about 2 weeks into sleeping with each other, that point were showering together still feels like a fun idea - until the point of actually doing it.

Chaz Hutton @chazhutton.com · 21/09/2026

When you’re in someone else’s shower and you get the controls all wrong…

This image is same shower and little person again but this time there saying ‘yeee!’ And trying to fit themselves into the one section of the shower that isn’t occupied by falling water. This is the preferred method when dealing with a suddenly very hot or very cold shower, as you start to ask yourself why you agreed to stay on Dave’s couch last night because you slept terribly and your lack of sleep is clearly affecting your ability to operate what should be a fairly basic shower system.

“Life in the Shower” - a fun little series I started a while back and just updated! When you’re in your own shower…

A very simple cartoon of someone standing in their shower, staring into the middle distance, perhaps wondering why they somehow yet again forgot to buy more shampoo, despite having been to the shops twice today for various other things. Of course, going to the shops a third time, AFTER your shower to buy shower things is entirely unhinged, so it’s going to have to wait till tomorrow, and who knows if they’ll remember any of this by then.

Also, if you’re Instagram based, I’d love you forever if you gave my shop shout-out post some love! (a 🥐 emoji comment is all it needs!) just to give it a boost and get a few more eyes on it! You’d be supporting both me the arts in a big way! THANK YOU!!! www.instagram.com/p/DdbalRljb3...

A little eclipse cartoon for today… I do find it funny that a sun wearing sunglasses makes no sense, but an anthropomorphic sun just doesn’t look right without them.

To I’ve drawn a cartoon here of a moon and a sun, they have little arms and legs and a little face each and the sun is wearting sunglasses, which obviously makes no sense whatsoever.

The Moon on the left and is looking a bit despondent, while the sun on the right has hands on it’s hips (if a sun had hips, or arms for that matter) and it’s saying ‘No’ to the moon.

In the next panel, the moon is now gingerly staggering towards the sun, who now has its arms outstretched and is more firmly telling the Moon ‘Nooo’

And then in the last panel the Moon is now finally happily, standing right in front of the Sun, while the Sun, who has now completely given up is saying (from behind the Moon) - ‘Urgh, Fine’

…and if you’re in Berlin and in need of a quick delicious snack while wandering around Neukölln, go get yourself a Currywurst from Frau Pilz!

A lovely little illustration of Frau Pilz, which in English translates to ‘Mrs Mushroom’ because that’s what the kiosk looks like. They’re open every day in the summer from 12pm to 9pm and serve up Bratwurst, fries and an incredible Currywurst with a pineapple sauce - it sounds terrible but let me tell you: IT WORKS. Also, say hi to Peter and his dog Filou for me.

Hey everyone! So I’ve got a shop, and it’s got a whole lot of fun stuff on it that you should absolutely go and check out, have a laugh, and maybe get yourself something! Cheers! instachaaz.shop

Explaining to English people that best advice for a heatwave like this is all in that film Threads: Get your supplies, cover all the windows, don’t let that radiation in, and hunker down in the dark until it all blows over. Basically don’t go outside and end up like this guy:

Look at them all. They're the BEST. And they all tend to result in me boring someone to death at the pub with enthusiastic, albeit half-remembered stories about historical forks or whatever object it may be.

Kills me that I drew this a year ago and it’s now more appropriate than ever…

So we’ve got a little illustration I’ve drawn of a daily newspaper but it’s a headline saying “For Fuck’s Sake What Now?!” With a little picture of a Trump looking figure under the headline, embedded in an extensive article covering the latest unhinged bullshit.

“Everyone at the Dinner Party” Very happy to say I’ve finally managed to format this so it’s actually legible here. So, jump on in and see if you can find yourself! Enjoy.

Ok - so, we’ve got a cartoon of a very long table full of people titled “Everyone at the Dinner Party”

Each person has a little annotation and an arrow pointing to them, while they generally do the thing that’s written about them - any extra visuals I’ll add in parentheses. Ok - let’s go!

The Friend pretending to know about wine because they went to a wine tasting once.

The Friend who IS going to show you a picture of their dog.

(Standing, with a carton of beer over their head is) The Friend who thought this was a house party and arrived at midnight.

The Friend who nobody really wanted to come but it would be weird if they weren’t invited. (This person has two glasses of wine)

The really shit fork that nobody wants (This is the only fork on the table with three prongs)

The Friend who will tell you the best way to roast potatoes while eating your potatoes (This person is saying “Bla Bla Bla Duck Fat…”)

The Smokers who everyone pretends to be disgusted by but is secretly jealous of their ability to regularly extricate themselves. (The arrows here are pointing to two empty seats)

The Friend whose story is STILL inexplicably going. (They’re saying “And then, wait for this bit…)

The Friend who is only able to talk about that one tv show. (“You haven’t seen it?!”

The Friend with a bit of a messiah complex. (This character is positioned in the middle of the table, a nod to The Last Supper of course - he is also the only one that has a water jug suspiciously full of wine in front of him)

Second cheapest bottle of wine that everyone bought from the shop.

The Friend who is quickly going to check their phone.

The Friend who is going to spend the majority of the dinner complaining how ‘phones ruin dinner’. (This friend is staring at the phone checking friend)

(Note: There’s a vase with three flowers in it on the table here - remember that)

The rival ‘Best Potato Salads’ that nobody was asked to bring.

The new boyfriend who seemed ok at first but is now weirding everyone out. (“Want to hear more about how much better natural wine is?”)

The Friend who interrupts everyone’s story with their own better version of the same story.

The Friend googling everything to show everyone that… “Aaaah, actually…”.

The Friend who was all like “Oh my god, yes! I’ll absolutely be there. (Again, this arrow is pointing to an empty seat)

The awkward bench seat two guests will stoically share.

Person who’s made it their one mission to befriend the disinterested cat. (This person is hovering over the cat)

The Cat, who is absolutely furious about all this.

(Note: At this point, the table ends and we continue through a door and into the kitchen)

The Friend who is offering to do the dishes just so they can escape everyone at the table.

The two friends who wished they’d thought of that (the washing up), so are now sharing the one-person drying job.

(At the end of the kitchen bench, a solitary figure sits on the bench, helping themselves to a bottle of wine, they are of course…) The host, who might be regretting all this.

(Note: we now move out through the back door and into the fire escape, the door here has been propped open by a flower pot missing three flowers that’s been dragged into place. It is here that we find the two smokers, enjoying a cigarette in relaxed silence.

The end.

Downhill skiing just isn’t what it used to be…

In this comic we have have a figure watching the Olympic downhill skiing on tv while drinking a beer, and they’re proclaiming with indignation that “Pfft, this was so much more dangerous back in my day” and they’d be right, because it turns out they’re the abominable snowman from the 1991 computer game Skifree, who had now obviously retired.

Watching the Winter Olympics…

So this is a comic version of the post it’s quoting:

The Winter Olympics Sports progression:

Turn on TV:

1. Never heard of this sport

2. Quite like this sport

3. I think I’d be quite good at this…

4. Yeah this guy is making some classic mistakes on this run…

5. I am now pretty much an expert at this sport.

Go old school, hire a human.

So, we’ve got a three-panel comic here, with two people on each panel.

The first panel is in the 2000’s (You can tell because I’ve written ‘2000’s’ below it), and one person is holding a vinyl record and talking to the other person who’s listening to an ipod and the record person is saying, “Yeah, but this sounds so much better”

In the next panel, this time in the 2010’s (Can you believe 2010 is like 15 years ago now? That’s mad) - anyway is this one there’s a person holding a stack of books and they;re talking to someone reading off a tablet, and they’re saying “...and you can’t beat a real book…” - Yep, that’s right, there’s a pattern emerging here! Just wait till you see where this goes!

So, Panel 3 and we’ve caught up to the 2020’s - waheeey! This time there’s a person using AI on a laptop, and the other person is holding up an entire human being and they’re saying “OH Yeah? Ever used a Real Artist?” and the artist is all like “hey”

Anyway. If you can, hire a human to create stuff. Cheers.

Today’s comic. (And yes, owning a dog has provided me with a whole lotta new content)

So we’ve got a three-panel comic here and in each panel there's a person and their dog, which I’ll be honest, I’ve done a great job of drawing.

Anyway, each panel looks almost identical, Person and Dog every time, but in the first one the dog has quite a bit of hair.

In the second panel, the dog has less hair and there’s now a bit of hair on the person, and by the third panel, there’s very little hair on the dog and the person is now totally covered in hair.

Also the dog is slightly smiling to itself in the last panel. It’s subtle though. Anyone not reading this alt text would probably miss it, so enjoy that.

The dog-doing-a-poo rollercoaster of emotions…

So we’ve got a two panel comic here. On the top panel is a dog doing a poo. It’s got that embarrassed look they always have when they’re doing a poo, like it’s the most undignified experience of their life.

Then in the next panel, the same dog is now being given a parade for doing that poo. People line the streets and cheer on the dog as it rides past everyone in a open top car, waving at all the fans who are all super excited about getting to see a dog that did such a good poo.

My god, having now written all this down I’m not quite sure it’s as hilarious as a thought it was. Ah well. Good poo Chaz.

Got some new ‘Jigsaw Choices’ up on the shop! You find this and lots of other stuff right here: instachaaz.shop

Ok so… there is an 8x8 piece jigsaw puzzle, it’s all yellow, and there’s some text written on it. There’s two pieces of the puzzle missing, so that whatever is written is missing two letters. Those missing letters will be a dash in the following transcription:

The jigsaw slogan reads:

I’m no_ gonna do that thing I’ve got to do _hen I can have fun.

Below this jigsaw are the two missing pieces, one a W and the other a T.

This means the slogan, depending on where you put the missing pieces can read one of two ways:

Either:

I’m now going to do that thing I’ve got to do then I can have fun.

Or…

I’m not going to do that thing I’ve got to do when I can have fun.

There’s always that moment, as you get the scissors to do that cool gliding thing, where you mistakenly assume you’re quite good at this…

So what we’ve got here is essentially a four image comic, showing a step-by-step process for how to wrap a present.

Step 1, the wrapping paper is rolled out with enough to cater for the cardboard box it’s going to wrap up.

In Step 2, it’s wrapped all the way over and some ape holds it into place.

Step 3, the ends are beginning to be expertly folded very neatly.

However, Step 4 reveals the end product which is a complete mess, multiple tears, uneven folds, and at least 7 or 8 different bits of tape all desperately trying to hold it together.

Hey everyone! So, time to give my little shop a shout out! There’s lots of stuff there, including artwork, personalised cartoons, and maps and stuff! Come on in and check it all out! instachaaz.shop

So I’ve drawn a little picture of me next to a sign that says ‘Shop is Open (for now)’ - and I’m throwing what appears to be prints and artworks around, which is terrible behaviour for a guy trying to sell artworks but hey, it looks a lot more dynamic and fun drawn like that.

Also there shop address is men to once at the bottom: Instachaaz.shop
