I mean, I remember it from like a decade ago when it first came out.

But before Lemmy it had been maybe 5 years since I saw one?

So maybe that's why it seems like a big change. Back then it was just dark humor, now it seems like it tries to piss people off and say "just a joke". Like, the quality isn't what I remember, even if it's trying to be the same thing.

Like comparing The Onion to Babylon Bee, they're both trying to do the same thing, the result isn't the same tho. There's a conservative slant that just makes it annoying. Like, both of those things are giant wastes of money, why are they the two options?

The only webcomic I kept up with was SMBC and xkcd

Oh, buddy. 2005 was 19 years ago.

Cyanide and Happiness has always been hit or miss. It's a collaboration between multiple cartoonists, and they're not all equally funny to everyone.

TIL it's multiple cartoonists.

For almost the first decade it was four.

There’s a conservative slant to The Onion?

[-] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I think they meant the Babylon Bee

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

No, to the Bee.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
