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!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

I'm not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.
Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates
Nah, Scott Adams is a hateful bigot. He thinks black people are a "hate group" - he truly went off the rails.
I don't really think this comic reflects its author's personal views at all. C&H has always been filled with shock comedy, black comedy, deliberate insensitivity, and silly puns, and everything is a target. This one doesn't really stand out as any different to how the comic's always been.
I don't really feel like there's ever really been a right-wing slant to these comics either. And I say that as someone who's ardently left-wing.
Classic case of the media not changing but the humor of the viewer did.
I mean, I remember it from like a decade ago when it first came out.
But before Lemmy it had been maybe 5 years since I saw one?
So maybe that's why it seems like a big change. Back then it was just dark humor, now it seems like it tries to piss people off and say "just a joke". Like, the quality isn't what I remember, even if it's trying to be the same thing.
Like comparing The Onion to Babylon Bee, they're both trying to do the same thing, the result isn't the same tho. There's a conservative slant that just makes it annoying. Like, both of those things are giant wastes of money, why are they the two options?
The only webcomic I kept up with was SMBC and xkcd
Oh, buddy. 2005 was 19 years ago.
Cyanide and Happiness has always been hit or miss. It's a collaboration between multiple cartoonists, and they're not all equally funny to everyone.
TIL it's multiple cartoonists.
For almost the first decade it was four.
There’s a conservative slant to The Onion?
No, to the Bee.
I think they meant the Babylon Bee
Wow, this is an absolutely wild take. What the fuck are you talking about?
It's a ripoff of a 30 year old bumper sticker joke...
I legitimately remember seeing them all over in the 90s.
And it's always been conservative assholes with the bumper sticker.
A Scott Adams? As far as I'm aware there's three authors.
