This Artist's Unexpected Comics Are Simultaneously Dark and Funny
This artist's comics might make you laugh and shock you a little.
Raph has a knack for turning ordinary moments into comics that land somewhere between creepy and hilarious. His work has built a following of more than 70,000 people on Instagram, and the appeal is easy to see, the punchlines are sharp, the endings are unpredictable, and the mood stays deliciously dark.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, the artist keeps finding ways to twist everyday life into something strange and memorable. His comics feel familiar for a second, then take a hard left, which is exactly why they stick.
That mix of awkward, funny, and unsettling is all over the latest batch.
