15 Dark Comics By Gypsie Raleigh That’ll Make You Think
Love. There’s nothing in this world more amazing. But as these “gleefully dark and whimsical” comics remind us, there’s also nothing more painful.
The artist behind them is Gypsie Raleigh, an artist, author, poet and playwright from Portland, Oregon. “Sometimes life leaves me speechless,” Raleigh told Bored Panda when we asked the artist what inspired her. “When I fail to find the words, I try to find an image that can speak in my silence. My drawings have been inspired by everything from the deaths of people close to me, anxiety, and my own broken heart–to seeing an old bird cage or having a bad work day. I turned to art, because my parents raised me off grid in the Mount Hood Wilderness, and there wasn’t anything better to do. At the time, I was just sad that I didn’t have friends. Now, it’s a way of life.” Check out some of her beautiful pictures below.

This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.
That first one though....did he mean to hang himself or did he accidentally do so trying to save her?
Load More Replies...Maybe it means hurting and forgetting about your own well being when you're trying help someone else.
die trying to save her i think, but some of these pics can be "multifaceted", multi meanings. sry for my english
Instead of helping her with his rope he idiotically hang's himself in front of her, and leave her die too. Takes strength to help others even if you have the tool to do it, but see, people are weak, so it was easier to just hang himself.
Im thinkin he went to commit suiside. One wanted saving and one didnt
Maybe it means that if u want to help someone who's not exerting effort to pull himself up, it will end up by u being dragged down by them...
Firstly, interesting that people see them as male and female. They're drawn the same yet people portray gender through actions and their perceptions of who would do either thing. That being said, I see it as the person below thinks "oh yay, I'm going to be saved" meanwhile, not co sideline what the person above is going through while the person above can't help the person below, as s*****e is fresh on their mind. It shows the wholeness of 2 sides of the same coin, and often a person cannot see the pain a person hides. Or, that some are able to withstand more than others. There are many interpretations here. Depends what a person sees,depends on their quantum view of their world
I thought it meant he would rather kill himself instead of help someone else
The woman is the one who hanged herself, he went down to save her but she only wanted the rope to commit suicide it seems.
"Still dead. Thanks for checking"? How can you NOT find that funny? That's something I'd put on my grave.
Load More Replies...That's not bad at all... humor is all around.. for me personally I am going through a period where I need to realize I lost my father .. looking at those "comics" does do something to me .. and I guess it it pushing my nose on the facts that my dad is not there anymore.. not laughing at all but I am not negative either .. wake up moment what death means not just angels in the sky ...
It actually meens that when some people need help when they are alive no one cares, but when they die... that's the moment when people start caring. But it doesn't matter how mutch they cry, that person that needed help is dead. And there is nothing that they can do now.😞
Is it bad that I think you only left this comment to see how people would react?
