Cyanide & Happiness - Stick Figure Simplicity



Cyanide & Happiness
Website (Comics): HERE
Website (Shorts): HERE

Cyanide and Happiness are infamous on the internet for having some of the most depraved, offensive, disturbing and of course hilarious comic strips to ever grace the cyber world. The group over at Explosm in charge of Cyanide and Happiness must be rather large to come up with such creative and contrasting stories on a weekly basis, in fact they've been doing this for 2004 and seem to get more and more popular as the years roll on.

The simplistic art style of stick figures takes nothing away from the superb and brilliant writing content exhibited in the comic strips. I'd go out of my way and say that I yet to see a web comic online as consistently funny as Cyanide & Happiness.

Coupled with it's comic success Explosm have been able to distribute real comics which are generally just a collection of strips which have been selected to be published into a book. Buy it on Amazon

Explosm have also been able to create a series of shorts on the comics. My current favourite is the Man vs. Wild Bear Grylls parody which was voiced by one of my favourite internet voice over artist's in Egoraptor.
