Comic Corner - Cyanide and Happiness

This month's comic has been around forever. In this case… since 2005. But that's forever in web comic terms. It's Cyanide and Happiness! No, it's not about sex with Cyanide of GGO. (Nowthere is a review I'd love to do!) It's the random, profane and always absurd web comic that's been a heavyweight for years. Cyanide and Happiness is one of those web comics that proves you don't need brilliant art when you have brilliant writing. In fact, I'm quite certain that they get mocking e-mails from finger-painting pre-schoolers over their art. Their style is vaguely similar to Order of the Stick which is a single step up from stick figure drawing. Whereas Order of the Stick has clever humor and characters you love to love that keep you coming back, Cyanide and Happiness has no ongoing story or recurring characters. It's the madcap, random goodness that makes you want to check in. I didn't realize it at first but there's actually a Cyanide and Happiness team of creators. My favorite is Rob but they're all pretty good at what they do. And having a team allows them to update almost every day. So they have over a thousand comics in their archive. So there's always something new to see. As with almost all of the comics I've reviewed so far, there is a high level of offensiveness here. Not that I suspect most of you care, but fair warning anyway. Scouring their archive for all-time favorites would take so long that I'd miss my deadline for next month's web comic review. But here is a sampling of recent favorites to give you an idea what it's all about. Until next month!
