Dark Humor Comics from Poorly Drawn Lines for the Unapologetically Weird

Thunder Dungeon editors have been trading Poorly Drawn Lines comics for years—usually with a disclaimer like, “Don’t judge me for laughing at this.” Dark humor comics are our guilty pleasure, especially when they’re as clever, sharp, and weirdly comforting as these. The genius of Poorly Drawn Lines is mixing a bleak punchline with a dash of silliness so you’re never sure if you should laugh, gasp, or send it to your therapist.

I first discovered these comics during a low point when I desperately needed a mood boost. A friend sent me a strip about existential dread featuring a duck with an identity crisis, and I couldn’t stop laughing. That’s the magic of dark humor comics—they make light of the stuff we’re all secretly thinking. In 2025, they’re more popular than ever, with meme culture, relatable comics, and silly humor fusing together in every group chat and social feed. The internet loves a little bit of darkness—especially when it’s packaged in doodles and weird one-liners. These comics are viral on Instagram, shared in awkward work chats, and quoted by people who just want to feel seen in their twisted sense of humor.
