If You Love Dark Humour, These Comics Will Definitely Tickle Your Evil Bone

dark humour

I’m not sure if anyone else’s moms or grandmoms say this, but mine have always had this mantra on laughter they recant every time someone has a good laugh. “Don’t laugh too much today, or else you’ll cry double that tomorrow.” As someone who uses humour as a defence mechanism, this philosophy really doesn’t sit well with me. This puts me in a dilemma, doesn’t it? Do I be the sanskari daughter obeying my elders or do I let my inner weirdo run wild?

How about a mix of both? And in my head, that meant dark humour. What?! Theoretically it makes perfect sense okay. I get to laugh at the joke and not worry about laughing too much as the evilness in it will eventually hit me, making me stop. Or the other way around. See, perfect!

Take comics by illustrator Remi Lascault, for example. This 32-year-old draws non-worded comic strips in 4 frames that are sure to tickle your evil side.

Awww… Isn’t that cute?! Kiddy vampire loves his bloody tampon popsicle!

Remi says drawing the comics themselves don’t take him much time. Instead, “coming up with the right stupid joke and twisting them in a not-so-stupid way, does.” Like these:

1. Well, that Eskimo-lated quickly! Geddit?

I have a feeling my mom would want to take back her laughter-directly-proportional-to-tears philosophy right about now. Too late, Ma. Too late.
