#26: Safety Not Included
Instead of rescuing swimmers, this lifeguard’s entire job is pointing and laughing. A man’s trunks float ashore, his dignity sinks with them, and the “laff guard” makes the announcement like it’s breaking news. It’s a simple pun but perfectly drawn—mockery elevated to an official position.

The beauty is in the twist. We expect lifeguards to save lives, but here the only thing being saved is comedic timing. And honestly, every beach seems to have someone who laughs louder than they help. This cartoon just gives that role a uniform and a title.
