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!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

Decorations have been horrible for years already. I got an advent calendar from a big European chocolate manufacturer a few years ago. The "artwork" was a background with some decorations photoshopped on top. However, they spent no effort to make things blend together nicely. Instead, they just used partial transparency around the edges of a decoration to make it "blend in". Looked pretty sad, since it was quite visible.
Why can't they just pay a real artist? They are selling millions of their calendars.
99% of people don't see the issue, or imply don't care. Companies are legit using shitty AI logos on their physical stores. They look st it and think, at worst, "good enough".
Why pay more when they obviously don't have to?
Yeah the skynet timeline sucked, but they could at least be bothered to make decent packages for the chemical Christmas gifts.
so, Amazon gift options?
