Cyanide and Happiness, has been going on since 2005, is created by 4 artists (Kris Wilson, Rob BenBleyker, Matt Melvin, and Dave McElfatrick). As you can see they all have a different style on how they create their characters but you can see the similarities. The characters look like not much thought was put into it and they have no backgrounds so they look like they are floating. But what makes this series so good is just the crude/dark humor they put into their strips. These comics have been booming on the internet and Kris Wilson's and Rob BenBleyker's comics seem to be the well known ones because of the character designs. Rob BenBleyker has also been making animations for Cyanide and Happiness and are quite hilarious in my opinion I'd say check them out for a laugh.
The comic layout goes both ways vertical and horizontal. I've also realized that Kris Wilson likes to draw his panels manually while everyone else like their panels to look straight and clean. They also don't like to use air bubbles and instead use lines leading up to the text. The only thing I'd wish they put more effort into is the backgrounds, just my opinion.

The series is quite funny with no boundaries.
Yeah, these are pretty funny, and if they had more detail or more refined art, they might just not work...or would they be even better???
