29 Comics With Unexpectedly Dark Twists By Dave Contra

Humor is an extremely multi-faceted medium. Many things can make us laugh: silly word plays, falling people, or something completely random. On the darker side of humor are things which shouldn't make us laugh, but they consistently do, and sometimes we laugh at them even harder than we can admit. David Contra is one of those artists who delve into the dark arts of dark humor and make comics that are completely committed to the shtick.

Here's what the artist had to say about his comic project: “Well, I haven't been doing it long, maybe 6 weeks since I decided to give this a proper go. I came back from a surf trip in Western Oz and then Sydney went into lockdown. So I needed a project. I have two friends who have been hassling me for a while to do something like this, so since I had all this lockdown time, I thought, 'might as well.' Oh, and you might see that I started with multi-panels, like up to 10 sliding panels, but that was so laborious. Then I decided to do the 4-panel because I like how it makes you trim all the fat and condense things.”
