30 Dark Humor Comics With A Surprise Twist From Cartoonist Dmitri Piankov

Dark humor is an acquired taste. Some people don’t like it, but many appreciate it. I love when someone can make a solid joke out of something dark. No one does it better than artist Dmitri Piankov.

Dmitris’ comics mix dark humor with original illustrations that double down on the punchline using visual gags and twists. It’s like a joke within a joke and to me, that shows just how brilliant these comics are.

We picked some of our favorites from Dmitris’ archive and I think you’ll enjoy them. For more of his hilariously dark work, please visit our previous posts here and here.
