There are a couple of good webcomics out there (including that weird dinosaur comic, the name of which I cannot recall), but my favorite by far is Cyanide and Happiness. Offensive, full of non sequitors, and sometimes downright baffling, it is still one of the funniest things I've ever read. In fact, I think its humor is derived mostly from the fact that it pokes fun at things no one else would dare to. The random deadpan comics only add to the eerie postmodern feel of the comics.

Have you ever seen Cyanide and Happiness cartoons? Which ones are your favorites? Where did you first hear about them or when did you first see them?

Examples of Cyanide and Happiness cartoons (ther's not my absolute favorites but they will do):





Do you think those are funny? I think they are. Awful, but funny. Maybe my sense of humor is a little twisted, though. O_o

I love Cyanide and Happiness. It's usually a morbid sense of humor, but the creator is a genius non-the-less.

I LOVE C&H. I love the black humor - it's a lovely break from the politcally correct world we live in. I love how they EMBRACE the fact that you sometimes have to be offensive and vulgar to be funny. Too few people realize that in our society now...I mean, some people are getting pissy over Santa Claus saying "Ho ho ho!" for Agate's sake! For that reason, even the things that hit me in places that make me NAUSEOUS don't offend me. C&H uses the type of black humor that this uptight world needs.

I love Seizure Man. XD And this comes from someone who has had a seizure before.

I totally agree. I'm liberal as hell and totally support campaigns that ask people in the public sphere to choose their language wisely, but that kind of thing is ridiculous.

The other day I was reading about a little kindergartener who got expelled for pinching a classmate's butt. I'm all about ending sexual harassment, but I'm pretty sure five-year-olds don't know what sex is, much less what sexual harassment is! They just should have explained that it wasn't nice and he should keep his hands to himself, and then maybe put him on timeout. Expulsion is so drastic!

And then you have the people who think the word n***** is the root of all evil, or that f** is the root of all heterosexism. I think it's pretty obvious that when racists use the n-word or heterosexists use the three-lettered f-word, it's just an expression of a prejudice that was already there. I mean, they're not nice words and you probably shouldn't use them, but context it key. For instance, the word "furf**" doesn't really invoke any of the hatred of gays that that word does on its own, and thus shouldn't be treated that way.

Actually, if I wasn't afraid it was against the TOS, I would probably spell those words out, because I don't see a difference between using stars and the actual letters. But. Better to play it safe, since I'm new here.

Haha, Cyanide and Happiness can be funny.

I am a big fan of MANY webcomics.

Questionable Content, Octopus Pie and MegaTokyo are my favorites.

Kiss - xkcd is great too. :3

I completely adore webcomics. I have so many regular ones that I check.

My favorite, and pretty much the first webcomic I got into, is Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire. I enjoy the story line, the characters and the artwork. Not only that, but the guy who does the comic is consistent in keeping up with it (which is a super plus with me)

Some comics I'd recommend:
Ctrl+Alt+Del ~ more so for those remotely interested in gaming. I find the characters amusing (though I haven't been keeping up with it recently).

Questionable Content ~ Definitely great for those who like some mockery and random references in their lives.

-shameless plug- I have a friend who has a pretty good webcomic too. It's called Anachronism and it's on drunkduck.com.

About other previously mentioned comics: Cyanide and Happiness is amusing but not story line based (which is what I personally prefer). I use to read something Positive a while ago... But I stopped reading it... It may have been a result of the comic's inconsistency for a while...

I'm a big fan of the strip Sinfest, the arts really good and I like the artist's social commentary. I'm also a really big fan of a strip called Girl Genius cause I love the genre.

A softer world is so good. <3 It's absolutely beautiful; I have been reading it close to since it started.

Animals Have Problems Too is hilarious and adorable.

My friend recently made a webcomic, We Can Draw Birds. I am in love, haha.
