I think, as with the grain cereal, oatmeal, this is an important part of a balanced diet. One is good for clearing the icky from your pipes, so to speak, and the other is good for clearing the icky fr...om your thoughts. It's a health thing. See More

This guy has an amazing imagination and my kind of humor. I would punch a bear in it's mouth to just have a conversation with this genius. I have laughed more on this site then any other site hands down.

Love everything about The Oatmeal. It’s helped me get through some dark times in my life and I can’t explain how grateful I am for that. Thank you for everything you do.

My human appears to have bought into your propaganda. Little matter, Inman. The book she owns about whether or not (more like when) I’m going to kill her will only buy small increments of time before ...I strike. Now I must go, for it’s butthole-lick-o’clock.

Cures that annoying feeling you get when you’ve bitten the edge of your tongue.
The guy who runs the site once came and mowed my lawn just as a thank you for liking the Facebook page.
I believe it was... Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who once said “The Oatmeal is some hilarious shit.” See More

Matt has a lot of range, from hi-f*cking-larious to poignant and touching. I love him. Maybe more than my husband. Run away with me Matt.

All the content now days is based off all the old jokes and fads that have dated very poorly. The artwork has also dated pretty poorly too. Pretty sad to see this place stagnate like this but I can't ...take it anymore.

(edit: it gets worse. we have reached peak potty humour.) See More

I love the Oatmeal! Against my husband's wishes I have the framed cat poster on our hall wall. That's how much I love it

I read the story about Grump the parrot and immediately was drawn to this page. I'll be here for a while if that's the type story that keep getting put out.

My favorite philosopher/illustrator. If you don’t love the Oatmeal, something is very wrong with you.

I laughed. It didn't cost nothing. 50 characters you say? Well, there were the old men dogs. Cats. Is the guy that likes Tesla so much?

Short and to the point. Often humorous. Always thought-provoking.

I love The Oatmeal! Anyone who thinks it’s dated is no fun at parties. This comic strip is freaking awesome.

I was late to the party, so some of the things that are old to others are new and hilarious to me!

I would highly recommend setting a reminder for 9am Pacific on Valentine's Day. I'm launching a very special thing but I only have a set number of these very special things.
