Dark Humor Comics By Brian Russell

Updated on October 13, 2025

I knew I needed dark humor comics when my coffee tasted like “meetings” and the forecast said “vibes: overcast.” I cracked open a fresh set from Brian Russell and immediately felt that delightful sting—two panels, one twist, and a laugh that arrives a beat late like a guilty conscience.

Russell’s strength is the surgical cut: minimal lines, maximum “oh.” It’s the perfect Monday antidote—short, smart, and a little sinister. If your feed already rotates webcomics and funny comics, you’ll love how these land between a sigh and a smirk. Consider this your screenshot-ready buffer before the inbox opens.

35 Dark Humor Comics

Welcome back. The best dark humor comics don’t punch down; they roast situations: cosmic paperwork, cheerful nihilism, and productivity rituals that feel like performance art. Save a handful under single panel comics so you’ve got instant reply ammo when a group chat needs a pressure valve.

Craft nerds, take notes. White space carries timing; a tiny eyebrow is a cymbal crash. Brian Russell’s captions read like jokes that survived three rewrites, which is why these dark humor comics travel so well on Instagram carousels and TikTok voiceovers. Keep a folder of webcomics you can trust when the algorithm forgets your taste.

Use-case playbook: drop one before your stand-up to set a human tone, keep one for the 3 p.m. wobble, and stash a spicier panel for the inner circle after hours. A well-timed funny comics hit can do more for morale than a pep talk that sounds like an expense report.

Seasonal note: October is peak twisted chuckle season. Candle on, hoodie up, phone dimmed—these read like tiny campfire tales told by a very polite gremlin. If a panel just clocked your “I’ll deal with it tomorrow” energy, congrats on the self-awareness arc.

Credit your artists when you share, tag originals, and maybe buy a print; your desk deserves a laugh with teeth. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here pretending that a perfectly placed silent panel isn’t the best productivity hack I’ve found this week.
