Buni’s appeal lies in its mostly wordless format, relying on images to convey twisted, sad, and funny stories. Pagelow introduces new characters like anthropomorphic pizza to keep the content fresh. The lack of dialogue makes these comics universally accessible, transcending language barriers.
Pagelow’s humor stems from unexpected, twisted endings, providing a unique sense of optimism despite dark scenarios. Despite the dark label, he sees his comics as optimistic, as Buni maintains a positive outlook.
