Featuring everything from talking animals to funny slices of life, these dark comics should help you get through this workday quicker.

"We seek laughter when we’re suffering," Mr. Lovenstein told Bored Panda. "I like to explore that suffering and isolate what’s so damn funny about it. Why do we find cringe funny? Why do bad movies make us laugh? I also find life to be utterly absurd and you can show how absurd it is with minimal effort."

As long as you're in you're comfort zone, you'll never reach your goals. Sometimes you have to shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars
"When someone resonates with my dark humor, it's perhaps the single most gratifying part of creating anything," the artist added. "It’s hard to speak for my audience, but I think they’re overall lovers of black comedy."

we have all lost that virginity battle with life at one point...some times more than once

Virgin blood means your blood hasn't been used before, not that you haven't had sex.
"I could get all philosophical and introspective, but above all else I make jokes, and people like to laugh. Maybe if you scratch below the surface of these morbid cartoon drawings, some are drawn to the tinge of sadness, the absurdism, and the utter silliness of it all."

The postman is the only person I speak to because he delivers the eBay stuff I buy, he's Chinese and doesn't speak English, lovely guy, we smile, we nod. I sign, he leaves. Why can't all interactions be so easy. Specifically the part about never leaving the house.

Ya know, if you look between the lines, it's a little sad. Whenever someone posts anything "sad and relatable" it gets tons of likes and upvotes (still like the comic though)

Mine would not make sense there... "His technique is being way better than mine." I believe you misread and thought it said "His technique is way better than me."

Apathy is a lack of any interest or enthusiasm, were as procrastination is avoiding or postponing responsibilities. Apathy can contribute to procrastination, but is not the same as it.
