30 Comics That Are Funny, Twisted, And Sad All At The Same Time
They'll definitely make you laugh, but you may find yourself cringing at the same time.
If you've been on the Internet long enough, you might have come across at least one webcomic by comic artist Ryan Pagelow. His comics are known for featuring unexpected and surprising endings that can sometimes get pretty dark, if not completely twisted.
His most popular webcomic series, however, is called "Buni," and it has been featured across various platforms on the Internet. When it comes to people having opinions about his comics, here's what the artist has to say about it.
"I hope that the three seconds people spend reading my comic make their day a little bit better. And maybe they like it enough to send it to a friend to help make their day a little bit better, and so on. And maybe they like it enough that they look forward to the new comics when they pop up on their social media feed.
I also hope that, even though my comics don’t have many words, they still convey some deeper themes people face, whether it’s love and rejection or just the strange aspects of our relationships with phones, food, and procrastination."
True enough, when you see his comics, they really do make you think, especially with the conflicting emotions they sometimes evoke. Here are a few of his best works to give you a taste of his artistry.

A lot of Pagelow's work seems so simple and solely for entertainment, but many of them provoke thoughts about what-ifs and the things you've done in life, which makes them more enjoyable, we guess. It's also part of the reason his work has become so popular.
He takes what life gives us and transforms it into something more, which is pretty amazing in and of itself. Check out his Instagram (@bumicomic) for more of his work.
