Palindramas is a webcomic (currently on hiatus) written and drawn by Dan Mazur. The premise is to create a palindrome (a word or phrase in which the letters are in the same order backwards and forwards), then draw a cartoon illustrating it.

The episodes vary in length from single-panel cartoons to multi-page strips. Some comics have a palindrome as a caption describing the scene; others have the story build up to a palindromic punch line; in a few cases, the entire dialogue forms one big palindrome.

Several strips feature guest art by Ed Gedeon, creator of Everyday Heroes.
