A touch of dark humor can make life’s darkest situations seem a bit lighter. Plus, laughing at times when you’re not supposed to just adds to the humor, especially when it catches you off guard. I’ve discovered that comics are an excellent vehicle for this type of humor.
The “Stressmuseum” comic series excels at deploying dark humor to entertain readers everywhere. Jacob Breckenridge, the creator of Stressmuseum, is a skilled artist known for using his unique wit and artistic talent to craft comics that are both thought-provoking and hilariously dark.
Breckenridge’s knack for blending the grim with the amusing has not gone unnoticed; his work has also been published in The New Yorker, showcasing his talent to an even wider audience. It’s a testament to his ability to strike a chord with readers who appreciate a darker twist on the everyday. In a world that often takes itself too seriously, Breckenridge’s work in Stressmuseum and The New Yorker offers a refreshing and wry perspective.
