Here Are 30 Dark Humored Comics That'll Make You Laugh While Keeping You On Your Toes

It's erratic, untidy, sometimes borderline ugly, and poorly drawn.

It starts with a seemingly harmless comic caption, “And the cheese was bought,” and somehow spirals into a whole gallery of dark, deadpan jokes that feel like they’re watching you back. One panel says “We’re lurking around,” the next one goes “I’m selling,” and before you know it, you’re laughing and clutching your phone like it might bite.

These comics are packed with weird little scenarios that refuse to stay simple. A “Meat is back” moment turns into “A sixth sense chicken breast,” then you get hit with lines like “Surveillance cameras of children,” “The abyss stares back at you,” and “IDs and passports.” Even the punchlines that sound normal at first, like “Comparing apples to oranges” or “Different stages,” land with that unsettling, gotcha energy.

Striking a balance between the artistic and commercial components of comic book illustration, including marketing and advertising, appears to be a challenging undertaking. The artist reflected on the complexities of this balance, stating:

“Creating art while managing the business side can be overwhelming. This is especially true for artists who juggle multiple roles. I appreciate every bit of support I receive; it’s a reminder that my work resonates with others.”

Then “Shut up and break something” and “I did it” stack together, like someone is keeping receipts while you’re still trying to find the joke.

After “Surveillance cameras of children” and “The abyss stares back at you,” even “Give him the other cheek” feels less like kindness and more like a trap.

By the time you hit “IDs and passports” and “Black holes are scary,” you realize these comics are laughing with you, not at you.
