15 Easy Comic Ideas Anyone Can Make (Stick Figures Welcome)
Easy comic ideas share three traits: few characters, simple settings, and a joke that survives stick figures. You don't need anatomy, perspective, or backgrounds — you need a clear moment and the confidence to draw it badly. Some of the internet's most beloved comics are wobbly lines with perfect timing.
These fifteen simple comic ideas are built for beginners: most need two characters or fewer, one location, and shapes you already know how to draw. Start with whichever one made you smile — that instinct is the only art school required.
- 1
A rock's big day
Three nearly identical panels of a rock. Seasons change around it, a snail passes, a bird lands. Final caption: 'Rock had a big day.' You draw the rock once.
- 2
Bus stop, two strangers
Two stick figures wait for a bus in silence. One holds a weirder item each panel — a ladder, a swordfish, a wedding cake. Neither comments. The bus arrives.
- 3
Sun vs. cloud
A smug sun and a stubborn cloud argue over who gets the sky today. Two circles, two faces, one forecast — settled by rock-paper-scissors in the final panel.
- 4
Before coffee, after coffee
A two-panel self-portrait: scribble-you with static hair and half-closed eyes, then smooth-lined you glowing like a museum painting. Same person, exactly one mug apart.
- 5
Blob pet
Draw your pet as one simple blob with one emotion per panel: hungry blob, offended blob, 3am zoomies blob. Accuracy optional — the blob is somehow more accurate.
- 6
The snail commute
A snail leaves for work in panel one and arrives in panel four. Nothing else happens. The wall clock in the corner does the joke: six years pass.
- 7
Pencil and eraser
A pencil draws; an eraser follows close behind, undoing everything and calling it 'edits.' Two rectangles with faces, one artistic rivalry, infinite episodes.
- 8
Same doodle, five days
Draw the same simple face five times, Monday through Friday, each version slightly more melted than the last. No other art required. Everyone with a job will understand.
- 9
Sandwich physics
Three panels: a sandwich stacked taller, taller, tallest — then the bite. Panel four is just lettuce everywhere and one deeply satisfied stick figure.
- 10
The PUSH door
A stick figure pulls a door labeled PUSH through three panels of mounting effort and doubt. Panel four: a small child walks through from the other side without pausing.
- 11
Houseplant commentary
Two potted plants on a windowsill review their owner's week like sports commentators. 'Watered us twice.' 'Tremendous growth.' Just two pots and speech bubbles.
- 12
The moon photobombs
You attempt a night selfie; the moon leans in closer each panel, grinning wider. Final shot: mostly moon. The moon regrets nothing. It's all circles — you can draw this.
- 13
Explain the masterpiece
Three panels of a kid passionately narrating an epic battle scene — dragons, lasers, betrayal. The final panel reveals the drawing: five scribbles and a sun. It's perfect.
- 14
The forecast, acted out
Draw today's weather icons as tiny employees: the sun clocking in, clouds carpooling, and one raindrop who overslept and shows up at 4pm, unapologetic.
- 15
Your morning in three verbs
Pick three verbs from this morning — snooze, spill, sprint — and give each one panel. Stick figures welcome. It's a complete comic and a diary entry at once.

How to make these ideas land
Draw the idea, not the art
Readers forgive wobbly lines instantly; they never forgive a confusing panel. Spend your effort on clarity — who's where, what changed — and let the drawing stay as simple as it wants.
Cap it at two characters, one place
Most beginner comics fail from crowding, not bad drawing. Two characters and a single location keep every panel readable and cut your drawing workload by half. Add a third character only when the joke demands it.
Or skip the drawing entirely
If the ideas excite you more than the inking does, describe the scene or start from a photo and let My Comic Series draw it — you get consistent characters and finished panels while you focus on the funny part.
Frequently asked questions
What are good comic ideas for beginners?
Ideas with a small cast, one location, and a joke that works even as stick figures — like a two-panel before-and-after, an object with a face, or the same drawing repeated with one change. Your own day is the richest source: pick a real moment, simplify it to its funniest beat, and draw only that.
Do I need to draw well to make comics?
No — timing and clarity beat technique every time. Some of the most successful comics ever published are deliberately crude: stick figures, blobs, two circles with faces. Readers come for the observation and the punchline. If your panels are easy to follow and the last one lands, nobody counts your fingers per hand.
How can I make a comic without drawing at all?
Describe the scene and let AI do the rendering. My Comic Series turns your photos and short descriptions into finished comic panels with characters that look like you and stay consistent — so a simple comic idea goes from note to shareable strip in minutes, no pencil involved.
