An Artist Has Shared Comics For Lovers Of Dark Humor And Here Are 18 Of Them

Remi has been drawing comics since he was a child, and his dark little four-panel jokes have a way of landing without saying a word. His minimalist style makes the punchlines easy to follow, even when the situations get weird, silly, or a little unsettling.

Now 32, the artist works in advertising as an art director, but he never really left the creative world behind. He says the hardest part is coming up with an idea that is both clever and funny, then squeezing the joke into just four frames without any dialogue.

That challenge is exactly what makes these comics so memorable, and the final strip may be the strangest one of all.

#1 The human has wings and the chicken has hands. Hmm...

@remi_lascault

#2 The bird was carrying the child and then... Oops!

@remi_lascault

#3 What are you hiding? And puff... Oh, oh!

@remi_lascault

The jokes only get stranger from here.

#4 Our little baby astronaut is finally here.

@remi_lascault

#5 She thought the frog would turn into a prince, but...

@remi_lascault

#6 Next time, don't pull it too hard, kid.

@remi_lascault

Remi clearly likes taking a joke one step too far.

#7 I suck it, I poop it, and the cycle continues.

@remi_lascault

#8 The child the universe has been waiting for is here.

@remi_lascault

#9 From this to that, from that to... Oh well.

@remi_lascault

#10 The tree grew to a point it couldn't cope anymore.

@remi_lascault

Even the setup feels like a punchline waiting to happen.

This vibe is similar to the Old Masters portraits that feel like the original influencer posts.

#11 Everything that glitters is definitely not gold.

@remi_lascault

#12 I guess this was a living piggy bank.

@remi_lascault

#13 Whatever the picture says.

@remi_lascault

#14 Oh no, where did the plane go?

@remi_lascault

He keeps the drawings simple, but the ideas are anything but.

#15 I am the flower to your stem, or whatever that is...

@remi_lascault

#16 Oh well, he really went a bit too far, I must say.

@remi_lascault

#17 Now that cannot possibly be real.

@remi_lascault

#18 Nothing here, just my traveling bag drawing me back in order to take a poop.

Remi has always loved dark humor, and he believes it's an essential form of humor, as it allows us to find everything funny, even the things that humans find terrifying, like death, for instance. Furthermore, having the ability to laugh at these topics makes them a bit less frightening. 

The artist is pleased to announce that his book will soon be available, so check out his Instagram page for more updates!

His darkest jokes are exactly the kind people remember.
