Comix: Cyanide & Happiness

For those of us with a slightly more gloomy outlook on life there is a fantastically twisted comic by the name of Cyanide & Happiness (C&H). One word of warning: If you are easily offended this comic will tell you to go fuck yourself...

C&H takes a rather twisted view of situations, in an attempt to make everyone see the brighter side of life. It takes the most bizarre, topical and sometimes horrific instances of life and makes it into a really strangely funny strip. It does not feature any sort of continuity or story but rather goes for the individual comic, sometimes with recurring characters.

Each comic is usually crude humour or a play on words and often does not have the ending that you would expect, frequently going for the cheap laugh factor rather than the sophisticated audience. They are in no way worried about offending anyone (Unless it is harmful to their health of course) and a lot of their comics are rather offensive in one way or another.

A special feature they hold once in a while is "Depressing Comic Week", specifically designed to make the most depression comics they can, yet still make them somewhat funny.

If you are looking for some simple, strange comedy to get you through a long work-day, this is most likely the comic for you.
