30 Chuckle-Worthy Comics For Everyone With A Twisted Sense Of Humor (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
It’s time to kick off this new week and boost your mood with some entertaining content. We believe we can achieve just that with the comic series created by Ben Zaehringer. The artist has been featured on our website multiple times, and each time we showcase his work, it proves to be very popular among our wonderful Bored Panda community.
The strips by this artist are known for their twisted, sometimes dark humor and unexpected endings. Scroll down if you’re curious to see the latest comics by “Berkeley Mews,” and to find out some interesting facts about the series and its author from our exclusive interview.

We reached out to Ben and got to ask some questions about his comic series. The artist shared more about his favorite storyline he enjoys creating the most: “Personal fave comic of mine… I like the one I’m posting on Monday. It’s about cats.”
The creator of “Berkeley Mews” also told us: “A character I enjoyed making was Nietzschémon. He’s the only recurring character in all of Berkeley Mews. He’s a small mustachioed seal (?) with a bad attitude. He doesn’t exactly share Nietzsche’s philosophy but I hope he captures his likeness.”

I'm not afraid that aliens exist or not, I'm afraid that they exist, they saw us and decided to never come back
Phil 1 year ago
Comedian Kathleen Madigan once postulated that the aliens probably consider Earth to be the Arkansas of the galaxy.

Asked about his favorite works, either in comics or other mediums, Ben answered: “All-time fave dark humor work of any medium ever is The Perry Bible Fellowship. It’s on another level. It’s mind-altering. Also love: There Will Be Blood, Midsommar, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, Invader Zim, Portal, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, The Sopranos, The Far Side…”

This takes on an even darker tone after the latest Wonka nonsense in Glasgow, lol! That poor Oompa Loompa girl.

"...former Dutch prime minister Dries van Agt and his wife, Eugenie...both 93, died hand in hand [Febuary, 2024]... They chose to die by what is known as duo euthanasia -- a growing trend in the Netherlands..."
We were also wondering if the artist has ever faced criticism or backlash for the content of his comics, and we learned that: “I don’t get much backlash but sometimes I post a comic about phone addiction or modern living and people say ‘OK boomer,’ or ‘we live in a society’… It hurts my feelings…”

Flashbacks to when I formatted my laptop, thinking that it was like a cell phone and it just cleared personal details. A $400 paperweight now.

Okay, as a late technically gen X'er who grew up with the "browser wars" in the late 90's, I have to say I'm a little surprised the search history thing is still a joke/meme. We all know what people do with the internet. At this point it would be weird to look into someone else's browser history. You're just snooping into someone's uncurated thoughts. It's worse than reading a diary. I should worry how a self righteous snoop might judge my private thoughts? Nah... I'm not spending energy on that.
Lastly, Zaehringer told us: “As for humor being an effective medium for storytelling, I think of it the other way around: I think storytelling is an effective medium for humor. My goal is to get a laugh, and storytelling is a means to that end. Stories play with expectations, and that’s useful for humor because a really good joke seems to come out of nowhere. Using a story to get a laugh is like putting a reader on a treadmill, letting them get comfortable, and then, when they least expect it, reversing the direction, or pulling the plug, or turning the speed up to 100 mph, leaving them in stitches.”

actually the multiverse doesn't exist in our universe. Only other universes exist in the multiverse.

You can really have this all. Not the fat blue dude though cause you just know he will take the last cookie and he'll say he didn't but we know. You can pass all that controversial mess and just give your heart and mind to Jesus. Say this: Jesus I'm a sinners, I ask forgiveness and I Love You and I want you to come Into my heart and life and save me. Amen

Remarkable. You just began a 'Jesus is love' message with a fat shaming joke.

I was somewhat surprised that god (who is supposed to be omniscient) uses questionnaires.
