When everything around feels just a little too beige and basic, there’s nothing like some black humor to save the day. If you enjoy your jokes with a bit of irony, you might like the work of up-and-coming Russian artist Dmitri Piankov.
Dmitri has recently started publishing comics on his Instagram account after doing stand-up comedy for years. Most of the situations and characters he illustrates feel familiar and relatable while managing to stay unpredictable. In the images below, you can see Dmitri’s newest comics.

I wanna say there was something on "Sesame Street" where a large gorilla-like creature was rampaging through a city, and was doing things like drinking from a fire hydrant and using a plane's propeller to cool off.
“At first, I spend 2 hours a week on brainstorming, during which I come up with different ideas,” Dmitri told Bored Panda about his creative process and also added that he would like to devote even more time to brainstorming.
“Then I send all my ideas to friends who say which comics they liked the most and after that, I sketch out the best versions. Then I ask my girlfriend to translate the comics into English.”
He's huffing glue from a bag, not silver paint from a sock...so no, not Charlie. Lmao

The artist told us he couldn’t pick any favorites out of the ones he’s done - probably because it’s difficult to stay unbiased about your own work.
When asked about dealing with “creative block”, Dmitri said: “I have a lot of unrealized ideas in stock, and when there is no inspiration, I just remember comics that I came up with a long time ago but did not draw.”
It's referencing Squid Game. That's a TV show.

Talking about influences and artists who inspire him, Dmitri shared: “Due to the fact that I am from Russia, I mainly follow the work of Russian comics artists. In our country, this area is not too developed, but I can single out Chilik and Gudim.
I know that in the West the genre of humorous strips is very developed and sometimes some translated comics reach me. I love the work of Joan Cornellа, Safely Endangered Comics, and cartoonist and stand-up comedian Demetri Martin. He is one of the people who inspired me to create comics.”
When asked about the future of his work, the artist told us: “I just want to keep drawing comics and making people happy, and when there are a lot of them, I will publish my own book. Promise you will buy it!”
See, what you do is kill the doctor, and then the court will give you 20 years

The puck should be a drone -- at least it would have a chance of staying airborne.

Load More Replies...Any S.O of mine tells me to lose weight, I'll lose somewhere between 130-220 pounds. By dumping them. I'm not at an unhealthy weight, especially not for my diet/activity levels.
The first and second panels were fine. The third and fourth looked rather unhealthy.
This is the reason I believe in creation - men cannot let go of their visual crap.
What was the point of that anyway? It's just gonna soak through and ruin your jacket
It's a take on the old school Gentleman school of conduct where a Gentleman was expected to place his cape (or cloak) over a water puddle so that a damsel wouldn't get wet feet.

damn, why did that make me LOL? (you can skydive without a parachute....once...)
You are the human embodiment of body positivity and I love that

You don't love Dark Humor if you can't laugh at death.

What's the point in wasting a cup when you're gonna finish the bottle anyway?
Beach umbrella and lounge chair go together. Maybe there's an ice chest in there too.
Load More Replies...i mean you have a point but.. well money's nice

Load More Replies...Flaying is usually when they skin people alive, his skin is getting burnt by sun so that they can rip it off

I've noticed most of these aren't actually dark humor. They are either idiotic or borderline psychotic. Again boredpanda, why is this still on your platform???
This is vile and psychotic. Well, most of it. What a sick freak!
