We can call the internet a place where we can take our minds off our daily struggles and find comfort in relatable things we can all share. You might argue, but comics infused with dark humor are a great way of dealing with the anxieties of life and finding little opportunities to chuckle about the absurdity of modern times, or simply sharing silly, random, and hilarious stuff you would never normally think of! These ones are for gamers, meme and pop culture lovers, and people trying to survive in these crazy times in general!
Estonian visual artist Mart Virkus lets out his frustrations about video games, pop culture, and everyday life in a form of nerdy and witty comics called Arcade Rage. His minimalist comic strips range from reviewing and capturing the essence and problems of the most popular video games to touching upon serious global topics such as mental health and environmental and social issues. The artist sums up his comics as “dumb jokes for smart people.”
