For decades, cartoonist Mark Parisi has kept audiences laughing with his beloved comic series Off the Mark, celebrated for its sharp humor, clever visual jokes, and playful take on everyday situations. Now, he’s turned that same comedic creativity toward some of pop culture’s most iconic characters. In a fresh collection of illustrations, Parisi brings together everyone from Marvel superheroes to classic Disney favorites and timeless Looney Tunes legends, blending nostalgia with his signature modern wit.
What truly makes this new series stand out is Parisi’s knack for placing famous characters into hilariously ordinary scenarios — and revealing surprisingly relatable sides of them. A superhero facing an everyday inconvenience, a Disney icon grappling with real-world logic, or a Looney Tunes character stumbling into an unexpected gag — each comic feels like a fun collision between the fantastical and the familiar.
Parisi’s work reminds us why these characters have remained beloved for generations: they’re full of charm, personality, and endless potential for storytelling. And with his imaginative twist, even the heroes and cartoon icons we think we know best feel refreshingly new.
