These sarcastic and dark comics by Russian artist Anton Gudim are perfect for those who like to be challenged. While some are interesting social commentary, others are just plain absurd and a little disturbing. Many of these dark drawings will take certain knowledge and time to figure out. But all of them are very cool.

Anton is from Moscow and has been illustrating for as long as he can remember. “I drew all my life. In childhood, at school, in college,” he told Bored Panda. “I would draw cards and silly comics for my friends. It was always just a hobby for me because I have a technical education. I was always good at maths.”

While it may appear that many of his drawing ideas are a biting critique of modern social issues, Anton doesn't have a particular aim or motive, they just come naturally to him. “At first my comics were just a way to discover the depths of my imagination,” he explained. “But I'm glad that they can inspire and entertain other people. I am not out to make people laugh, but I do believe that it's important for artists to add a little humor into their works.” Anton simply likes to highlight absurdity and dark humor wherever he sees it, and enjoys challenging people to look at everyday things from a different perspective.

While he is currently working full-time as an engineer, Anton would love the opportunity to turn his hobby into something more substantial and become a professional artist. For now though, he is happy to keep producing these imaginative and dark comics in his spare time. We are so glad that he does!

Everyone tries to be so deep but I'm guessing this is just a stab at people who put their baggage on the chair instead of letting someone actually sit...

I can't stand someone who takes up a seat with their bag either.

I guess it's not what it means, büt first thing that pops in my mind is a queaky voice saying "Don't leave your luggage unattended at any time"

For many years, we were encouraged to pluck our brows, make them thin, or even draw them on. Now we are encouraged to expand our brows. Good grief. It's just silly.

I saw this as the kid inside breaking out the adult on the outside, not having to do with being fat at all.

What makes this unlikely is that those things always run out of hot water. I don't know how long it takes, but I do know that it is always happens about the same time I want some tea.

The ozone layer is healing... since 2000 it's been shrinking due to humans not producing chlorofluorocarbons.
