Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

I'm now imagining having a mustache come out of the bottom of my upper lip.

It's unpleasant.

If you pay attention super close to the videos they all have black teeth that are barely noticeable unless you're paying attention

Depressing comics week eh?

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well this isn't very happiness.

No no this is Ice Cream and Sadness

Serious answer: they have an on and off event called depressing comics week, we're instead of telling jokes with dark humor, they just create dark scenarios that aren't funny at all.

Why? It is done intentionally to see if they can successfully create scenarios that make people sad. Which is all things considered actually a healthy exercise for someone who regularly engages in dark comedy to do. Helps them remember where the line needs to be kept in order to keep things funny.

Very cyanide though....

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well that's a dark one for today.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

I guess that's the Cyanide part of the title. Fucking hell.

[–] fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

Damn too real

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Ugh. Took my kids to their school for schedule meet and greet. Saw kids who looked like the ones who bullied me when I was their age and all the emotions and memories came flooding back. These are kids 1/3rd my age and strangers, they have no power over me and yet I felt messed up.

Fucking hell...

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh hell. I’ll just push the whole need for expensive counselling aside and carry on with my life then.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If therapy is too expensive, check out Open Path Collective. They connect you with affordable therapists.

Ouch, I felt that one.
