The internet is one place to clear off the mind while finding comfort in relatable things. There seems to be much going on globally, and if every tragedy is focused on, we might all end up being depressed. The headlines regularly share information on the terrible things that happen across countries, but comics have been one best way to transform bad news into something worth laughing about. Specifically, dark comics tend to say a lot about the dark part of the world we live in. You might argue, but these comics styles have broadly dealt with life's anxieties, including the absurdity of our modern society.
Artist Mart Virkus, known for his comic series titled Arcade Game, let out his frustrations through his uniquely-drawn comics. The Estonian Visual artist touches on pop culture, video games, and everyday life through nerdy illustrations. The minimalist comic strip equally features mental health, social, and environmental issues. Branded the dumb jokes for smart people, Mart’s comics are hard to overlook as his dark undertones are quite liberating. With over 58K followers on Instagram, we’ve compiled the artist’s newest, and they indeed sum up the fun between art and reality. Have a look!
