Artist Uses Dark Humor In These 30 Comics, And You Will Love All Of The Sneaky References They Made

This post is for everyone who loves a little dark humor in their lives.

Someone out there is turning everyday life into dark little comic panels, and the sneaky references are so good you almost miss them the first time. One strip has a Pringle can acting like it wants your entire arm, another turns a kids’ movie into the kind of “missing part of the story” you do not ask for at bedtime.

It gets even more specific as the jokes keep stacking up: YouTubers are doing way too much, a religion-and-Earth creation setup gets handled with humor that feels just slightly too pointed, and “trust falling” suddenly looks like a bad decision with a body count. Throw in conspiracy vibes, decision-making games for choices you would never make in real life, and the always-awkward moment when the alcoholic will do anything to keep drinking, and you’ve got a whole gallery of “wait, what did I just see?” moments.

By the time the writer’s block gets unblocked and everything starts pouring out, you’ll be hunting for the next reference like it’s the real punchline.

Right after the Pringle can tries to take your arm off, the whole vibe shifts from “lol” to “okay, this artist is serious about dark comedy.”

Then the comics swing to social media and robots taking over, like the whole world is being run from the most suspicious comment section imaginable.

The mood turns extra sharp when the religion and Earth-creation perspective hits, because it’s funny, but it also feels like it’s quietly roasting the setup.

And when the writer’s block becomes unblocked, pouring out whatever it wants, you realize these panels are basically one long scavenger hunt for references.

Those 30 comics were funny and also quite dark. Some of them definitely shed light on situations that people need to pay more attention to, but we really appreciate these artists for bringing up these topics in a humorous way, which makes it easier to connect with people.

What do you think about these comics?

You’ll laugh, then immediately start re-reading every strip like it owes you an explanation.
