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

Remi is a 32-year-old artist who has been drawing comics since he was a child. As he grew older, he began to create minimal comic strips consisting of four frames without any words.

According to Dr. Barry Schwartz, a choice researcher, "Humor often relies on the unexpected, and the challenge of crafting a joke without words is a fascinating exercise in creativity." His approach to humor aligns with the idea that presenting absurd jokes in a clever manner is key to engaging an audience. The fundamental objective of his illustrations is to make individuals like you and me laugh.

There are no written words in his comics, but anyone, anywhere can actually understand them. Remi views it as a remarkable achievement that his comics can unite individuals in this way. He began drawing as a child and attended art school because he desired to work in the animation industry.

However, he was unable to attend the school he wanted, so he opted for graphic design instead. Today, this artist works in advertising as an art director, stating that he "never really left the artistic world."

Remi mentions that the most challenging aspect of creating these comics is finding a clever idea that is both interesting and funny. Additionally, figuring out how to convey the joke in four frames without using words can be quite a difficult task!

He strives for a simple drawing style and attempts to make things as straightforward as possible for his audience to grasp the meaning of the joke effectively. As Dr. Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, notes, "The best ideas often come from simplifying complex concepts." Remi also notes that there are moments when his illustrations are somewhat silly and, at times, bizarre, but he always tries to add a clever twist to the comic story.

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.
