Off the Mark

Off the Mark

Off The Mark is a comic panel created by Mark Parisi (born 1961) which began in 1987 and now appears in 100 newspapers. It also appears on greeting cards, in magazines, on T-shirts and more. Off The Mark is distributed daily by United Media.

The humor of this comic panel focuses on off-beat, slice-of-life situations. United Media describes it as: "A world of scheming pets, evil computers, and talking plants that puts an ironic, absurd or just plain silly spin on the ordinary occurrences of everyday life."

Off The Mark was named "Best Newspaper Panel" by the National Cartoonists Society in 2009. It was also nominated in 2004 and 2006.
