In the grim, icebound world of HBO’s megahit Game of Thrones, life is a very serious business.
How can it not be? Winter has finally come – brr! – White Walkers, led by the vengeful Night King, are on the march, it’s like Westeros Idol out there with everyone competing for the poke-your-eyes out Iron Throne and there be dragons and lots of dragons burning and pillaging and barbecuing!
So yeah a real laugh fest right?
Not really but hey, who says you can’t have some fun anyway?
Talented cartoonists like Philip Horton (Peanuts and Game of Thrones together? Yes please!) and the brilliantly-funny, quick-witted Leslie Jones (with Seth Meyers on Late Night) and YouTube music maestros Retro Miami Nights have proven that you can be facing war, famine and un-deathness on a massive scale, and still find something to tickle the funny bone.
Just remember to stop laughing long enough to run from the White Walkers or hide from Drogon as he swoops in for a fiery entrance …
