While people are making slice-of-life comics, these artists put their own twist on the term and are taking a "byte" of life. Just like a byte consists of more bits, the webcomic Bits and Pieces is made of a variety of stuff—it's about programming, pop culture, or anything that is trending in the world, from coronavirus and Among Us to Fall Guys or US elections. So you don't have to be a developer to understand these and appreciate the dark ways they are ending!
These comics might look innocent at first, but wait until you read the unexpected ending with trademark dark undertones! Don't forget to upvote your favorites!

Load More Replies..."We are in the tech industry and we wanted to make comics that captured that experience," Harry, Ali, and Carly from Michigan, who stand behind these comics, told Bored Panda. And they unveil their lives in fun comics full of nerdy and dry-wit humor. The kind of humor that doesn't necessarily make you laugh out loud, but rather blow air through your nose because they often are so reminiscent of our modern world that you would almost feel bad for laughing. That would mean that you are laughing at our society and its undeniable flaws, which is not a bad thing when you think about it, as it's much easier to handle the anxieties of life with humor.

Bored Panda wanted to get to know the creative team behind Bits and Pieces. We talked to Harry, who is a software engineer by day and artist by night about how he started drawing.
"I have been drawing since I was little. I went more towards the software side because I didn’t think it could be a career. After working for a couple years, I felt an urge to express my creative side," Harry said.
oops, dirty minded person over here took the first sentence wrong....
Sure feels like that sometimes! I don't know about the CAPTCHA either... there are times when I'm not even sure if I'm seeing what they're asking for.
The computer might as well cut to the chase, and say: “Oh no you’re not getting into your computer today!”
Besides Harry, the team is comprised of two other masterminds—Ali, who is a PhD student in cryptography, and Carly, who is a PhD student in cancer research.
"We met in high school and there really is no friction at all. We believe our collaboration is our advantage over other creators. We met Carly in high school as well and she is more on the consulting side."
They're from the game "Among Us". Coincidentally, I was just playing that game a bit ago.

The biggest inspiration and motivation to create is being able to express their artistic thoughts that couldn't be expressed in a professional environment.
"Our comics are about mostly tech, but also things we see in the world. We want to be more laymen," said Harry. "We feel like we’re funny and we want to share that with people. Being in serious PhD programs and the tech industry, there aren’t many opportunities to be creative."
take it from an older guy, just let her eat the dam fries and keep your mouth shut its not worth the 2 hours are arguing.
Please go and watch the comic Watchmen (Snyder) and go for a few dates where your date eats your food instead of ordering the burger and fries, they just order burger
Load More Replies...You realize that most of the people who developed the technology for your games are over 60?
I hope it is not your real one, because you should never give your password out online.
Load More Replies...EXCUSE ME?! say those who started the whole thing. You hadn't been born or were in diapers when it all started. You may have taken the concept even further and came up with new ways to use the internet and computing, but you didn't come up with these ideas and the ground work it is built on.
Neither did you....don't understand how you're this worked up about a very common IT joke either...
Load More Replies...Cleverly hidden in the name of webcomic, Bits and Pieces often toggles technology subjects with "bits" of programming humor. The logical build of technical people's minds leads to a specific dry sense of humor that might come across as trolling. Although some professional terms such as "SQL" or "authentification" slide into strips here and there, the comics are approachable to people with low-level technical knowledge. At the same time, they offer an exciting glimpse of the technology industry we might have never heard of. But for the most part, the themes Bits and Pieces touches upon are often painfully relatable to us, such as the global pandemic and its effects, trending political topics, or problems of the age of technology. You will particularly fall in love with the comics if you are a little bit of a pop culture and games nerd yourself.
My mother and her husband are chemists. They think they know more about medications than doctors and have told them so. Fun.
To be fair, they probably do know more about the medication itself than the average doctor does.
Load More Replies...So much like the logic of computer programmers - I only found the joke in 10% of these comics!
Ironically enough, Harry says they are not trying to put dark undertones in their comics intentionally: "We don’t try to be dark, I think we’re all just depressed and we express that through our comics."
"I hope we can relate to people who feel like they can’t make it in the software industry or people dealing with depression. A lot of our comics have been about impostor syndrome because that’s something I personally deal with."
I’m so disappointed in myself.... I, at first, read: “I gotta do my fart!”
In light of the current pandemic, most artists try to use their art to express their frustrations and help them deal with it, Bits and PIeces are no different.
"The pandemic is definitely something we wrote about to deal with it as we’re quarantined. We didn’t think our comics would still be so relatable now so long after the pandemic started but here we are."
Dude, that's how red my face gets when I'm around my crush. I think It's obvious now... XD
loooooove. plus dark humour. if you don't get these you should try another comic.
Load More Replies...now, I think I get it, but I definitely get the keg stand, and I never want to try it. bleh
If you agree that one hilarious webcomic a day can keep the harsh reality away or just want to take off your mind off something that's bothering you for a short moment, show some love for Bits and Pieces' Instagram page, which has just started thriving since the pandemic started. They admitted that not seeing more followers finding their content is the most challenging thing in the procees. The artists have a little over a thousand followers at the moment, so you have a chance to get to know them "before it was cool." Bits and Pieces also have ambitions to write a book, so don't miss that idea coming to life!
Translation #x.9: "It doesn't matter how you present yourself so long as the other party finds something of critical interest. "
If you like absurd and dark humor, Bored Panda regularly gives credits to the best out there. Here is just a small share of our recent articles with a good dose of dark jokes, absurdity, and twisted endings by talented artists who are definitely worth checking out: hilariously dark comics about games and pop culture by Arcade Rage; The Square Comics about a pessimistic guy, his a condescending dog, and strange friends; classic War and Peas comics with unexpected plot twists; ridicule of life in Perry Bible Fellowship's comics; and random and bizarre thoughts of Dogs on the 4th.
It's a programming joke. Mallory is posing as a different person/ website/ online service to fool bob and get something he has, like banking info. Bob never authenticated, which is an easy way to verify something online is what it says it is, and so he was easily fooled by Mallory posing as Alice.
Load More Replies...hold on, I get the top two, but I don't get the bottom. is that what he wishes would happen or something?
I think she was posing as Alice, hence the blonde wig.
Load More Replies...In fall guys a lot of people like to grab other players just to mess with them. It isn't uncommon for a player to try and grab you if your first, because if they can't have it neither of you will.
Load More Replies...Haha! I'm laughing my pants off! and yet I have never played it, I still listen to " and so we fall"
I think this to be a "how you think it works" clashing with "how it really works." Some photographics from Pinterest would make the point a bit clearer.
