We all have a little monster living inside us, and sometimes to avoid it eating us on the inside, it's better to let them out every now and then—as long as it’s not hurting anybody. This is exactly what dark-humored comics are all about. They offer a great way of dealing with the anxieties of life and finding little opportunities to chuckle about even when life feels totally absurd.

Arcade Rage is a comic series created by Estonian visual artist Mart Virkus. The nerdy and witty comics tackle just about any topic; from video games, pop culture, and life in general. The artist finds inspiration in the things going on in the world, but often they're about silly, random, and hilarious stuff you would never normally think of. To him, it's all about the fun of finding new connections between art and life.

Mart's comics are cute but it's hard to ignore the evident dark undertone which many find quite liberating. But the reason people enjoy his work most is his ability to “express complex emotions using minimalist means” and most definitely for a good laugh. This is why 91k Instagram followers keep coming back for more of Arcade Rage!
