The blissful scent of almonds

There are several webcomics I enjoy reading and which I visit regularly: Ian's The Adventures of the S-Team (brilliant Lego superheroes), bLaugh (the [un]official comic of the blogosphere), xkcd (a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language).

But sometimes, when I'm feeling especially blue, one of the things I do is visit Cyanide and Happiness at Explosm.net. It distracts me in a helpful way, it makes me forget some of my sadness for a while. Besides, it appeals to my sometimes-sick sense of humor.

(I've had to resize some of these comics; they were too large).

Feeling like the ultimate anesthetic



So close...yet so damn far




This one is funny and sad at the same time. In real life, it's tragic.



So is this...



Sometimes affection hiding behind tough love gives the greatest comfort.



Haha! This is sooo me. Can't flirt to save my life.



Like I said, my sense of humor is sick sometimes



It gets even sicker once in a while



And I laugh at the sickest things. I know, I probably need to see a shrink :-)



Oh, hell. Maybe I'll just meet up with an old friend who's addicted to me. After all, who am I to deny him the pleasure of my company? I've been drinking him for years! Haha!

I like it... it's so different
Though can be a little off, but then some of it tells something deeper
:)
I like especially the hugging and the flirting one

These are pretty funny. I like the hugging one. And the squiggly line one. I'm more curious to see which of your regular readers are not amused here -- it seems that (so far) we all share in your sense of humor. :)
