While comics have been around since forever, dark humor is a fresh concept that is taking time to grow on people. What people do not understand about dark humor is that it takes a lot of creativity and wit to create a comic with dark humor. Tony Esp is a webcomic artist and editor, who uses dark humor to create comics. His comics have different themes, some even include important lessons to take away and learn from. He believes that comedy is always better when the reader cannot predict the ending. The unpredictability of a comic makes it more entertaining and the shock value adds to its appeal.
Dark humor is more time-consuming than regular humor. Since Tony deals with dark humor in his comics, it requires him more time to come up with creative and well-calculated dialogues. Every part of the comic adds to the sinister side of the comic. Dark comics also entail emotional control, which makes the comics more impactful.

This doctor took the concept of “break” a bit too far. This reminds me of the idea of self-love and self-care on social media. We should always take out time for ourselves, but not at the expense of others!
11. Love makes your body do stupid things. Heart attack is one of them!
12. The beautiful life of vultures!
Honestly, I still cannot believe that vultures prey on us. They are the scariest animals that exist. Since childhood, their deadly faces and creepy bodies make every kid scream.

Damn, people really turn out opposite of what we expected them to be.

The comics not only have dark humor but also have valuable lessons in some of the comics. The artist shows his support for the LGBTQ community in one of the comics. His comics also show how people hide their realities from the world and are living completely different lives under covers. These takeaways become special with the humor mixed with them. Humor makes everything more impactful.
