Dark Humor Comics by Trying Times Comics
Updated on October 12, 2025
I knew I needed dark humor comics when my coffee tasted like “meetings” and the sun clocked out at 5:12—prime conditions for a little laugh-that-stings. Today’s batch spotlights Trying Times doing what they do best: tiny panels, big curveballs, and punchlines that land three seconds after you swipe.
The magic here is economy. One frame, two beats, and a left turn into “oh no… oh yes.” These dark humor comics sit perfectly between webcomics you binge at midnight and funny comics you drop in the group chat when everyone needs the relief valve. Expect clean lines, bleak chuckles, and craftsmanship you can feel.
50 of Trying Times' Dark Humor Comics
Welcome back—if you screenshotted three, you’re normal. The best dark humor comics don’t punch down; they roast situations: overwork, doomscrolling, cosmic paperwork, the bureaucracy of feelings. That’s why Trying Times thrives on Instagram carousels, TikTok slideshows, and Reddit threads that treat timing like a special effect.
A quick craft note for fellow nerds: pacing is everything. White space is a drum fill; a tight caption flips the scene; a silent reaction face does the heavy lift. Save a few under creator tips if you dabble, and park others in your meme gallery for emergency morale boosts.
Platform pointers: Instagram rewards tidy color palettes and alt text; X likes the surgical one-liner; TikTok loves dramatic readings of “oh.” Credit artists, tag originals, and keep your webcomics folder organized so you can find that one panel that felt like therapy with teeth.
Why this hits on a Sunday: gallows laughter metabolizes the week. You look at an annoying truth, smirk, and move on lighter. That’s not cynicism—that’s maintenance. Slide a couple into work-safe laughs (yes, they exist) and queue the spicier ones for your inner circle after hours.
