A collage of Dark humor comics by Proidemtes featuring a shark throwing a coconut at a human while screaming "Horrors!", a Christmas star screaming in agony as it's impaled by a tree, and a moth at a bar screaming for "LIGHT!" beer.

These dark humor comics by Proidemtes are for anyone who likes their laughs a little twisted, a little absurd, and delivered in perfectly timed panels. If you’re into absurd comics, dark comedy, and webcomics that flip a cute setup into a brutal punchline, you’re going to love this set.

A dark humor comic by Proidemtes featuring Christmas ornaments. Ornaments shaped like a pinecone and a mushroom are confused by a screaming sound. The final panel reveals the source of the agony: the gold star on top of the tree is screaming because it has been impaled by the tree's sharp tip.

A cynical dark humor comic about a shark. The shark shares a "fun fact" that falling coconuts kill 30 times more people than shark attacks. In the next panels, the shark is seen throwing a coconut at a human off-screen, then swimming away while mocking, "Horrors!!!"

A wordless Proidemtes comic personifying a water cooler. The cooler has a strained, sweating face as it supports a heavy water jug. As someone pours a cup, the cooler’s eyes widen in pain; once finished, it looks relieved and content as the pressure momentarily eases.

A predatory dark humor comic featuring two snakes on a couch. One says, "I don't want to cook today, let's order food delivery." The bottom panel shows a cute bunny on a bicycle carrying a delivery box, unaware that he is likely the intended meal.

whimsical but tragic Proidemtes comic showing an iceberg. Above water, it looks normal, but the cross-section reveals the submerged portion has a face and arms, and it's playing with a whale and a submarine like they are bathtub toys.

dark humor comic about consumerism. A brain character skeptically looks at a pile of literal poop and asks, "No seriously, do you really need this s**t?" The moment a "-70% Sale" tag is placed on it, the brain’s eyes light up with manic desire.

dark humor comic featuring a hammerhead shark. He asks a small fish, "Where are you, bro?" because his eyes are on the far sides of his head. The second panel shows the fish is right in front of the shark's nose, a total blind spot.

dark humor comic mocking modern healthcare. A man resolves to go to the doctor instead of Googling his symptoms. The final panel shows the doctor sitting at his desk, staring at a monitor, and asking the patient, "So what are your symptoms?" while he clearly has Google open.

Proidemtes comic showing a personified croissant with arms and legs running happily through a park. The final panel shows the croissant stopping in its tracks, looking horrified as it comes face-to-face with a hungry, wide-eyed pigeon.

A cosmic dark humor comic showing a personified Earth looking into a mirror. The Earth looks tired and saggy with a frowny face, but the reflection shows a perfectly round, "flat" version of itself. Earth sighs, "Not so flat."

dark humor comic by Proidemtes featuring a sloth and a snake. The snake tells the sloth he has an urgent matter to attend to; two panels later, night has fallen and the snake is long gone by the time the sloth finally manages to process the interaction and slowly mutter, "Hello."

A biting Proidemtes comic about the "paradox of tolerance." A crowd of yellow circles agrees that everyone must be tolerant of other opinions. However, as soon as one circle says, "I disagree," the entire crowd turns deep red and stares him down with identical expressions of blind rage.

A clever dark humor comic featuring Ludwig van Beethoven. His wife repeatedly yells at him to wash the dishes, eventually calling him a "deaf [censor]" and deciding to do them herself. The final panel shows Beethoven smirking to himself, revealing he was just weaponizing his hearing loss to avoid housework.

A literalist Proidemtes comic at a fancy restaurant. A man tells the waiter, "I want some soup with chicken." In the next panel, the man is shown eating a plain bowl of broth while a live, extremely worried-looking chicken sits in the chair across from him as his dinner date.

meta dark humor comic set in a laboratory. One scientist tells another that his "experiments on pigeons are getting out of hand." The punchline reveals a third "scientist" sitting at the table—a giant pigeon wearing a lab coat and tie who firmly replies, "I disagree!"

A predatory Proidemtes comic featuring a chubby pig visiting a wolf. The pig says, "I was told that you are the best expert in weight loss." The wolf pulls out a knife and fork and simply screams, "Run!", resulting in the pig frantically sprinting on a treadmill in a state of pure terror.

An "art critic" dark humor comic featuring two pigeons in a gallery. They are staring at a massive Jackson Pollock-style splatter painting. One pigeon casually turns to the other and remarks, "Did it once on a car."

A pun-filled Proidemtes comic featuring a moth at a bar. When the bartender asks what beer he would like, the moth says, "I prefer..." and then screams "LIGHT!" as his eyes glow with the blinding intensity of a thousand lamps.

A subverted fairy tale dark humor comic about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. After the bears find their porridge eaten and chairs broken, they walk into the bedroom to find Goldilocks—who is a massive, muscular, and terrifying woman. The bears immediately back away, whispering, "Well, you know what, better let her sleep."

A cosmic Proidemtes comic showing a personified, sagging Earth looking into a mirror. While the real Earth looks tired and lumpy, the reflection shows a perfectly round, "flat" version of itself. Earth sighs with relief, "Not so flat."

What makes Proidemtes style so addictive is how clean and simple the setups are. You’ll think you’re reading something wholesome, and then the final panel pulls the rug out in the gentlest, most savage way. That’s peak dark comedy: not gore for shock value, just a sharp little turn that makes you laugh and wince at the same time.

A big theme in this batch is literalism—characters hearing a phrase and taking it in the most technically correct way possible. That’s why absurd comics work so well here: a normal request becomes a nightmare, a “fun fact” becomes a weapon, and a casual misunderstanding turns into an existential situation. It’s clever because it’s predictable in hindsight, but still surprising in the moment.

Another lane is the animal-and-object personification, which somehow makes the jokes hit harder. When a croissant is joyful, a planet is insecure, or a household object looks exhausted, it mirrors real life in this silly, slightly too-accurate way. Webcomics like this are basically tiny emotional metaphors dressed up as jokes—one second you’re laughing at a shark or a pigeon, and the next you’re like, wait… that’s literally my brain on a discount sale.

And then there’s the satire, which is sprinkled through without getting preachy. Modern life, social behavior, tolerance talk, healthcare logic—it’s all here, but the punchlines stay quick. The best dark humor comics don’t lecture; they just show you the absurdity and let your brain connect the dots.
