Most comic artists out there just want to make you smile. The desire to spread humor and personal experience drives the creators of comics designed for this end. Laughter to them was and is a weapon of mass connection and laughter/title king. It makes an artist feel good when their work can make someone else laugh or even chuckle a bit.
Reddit is home to “My Gums Are Bleeding,” a popular commenter with dark and surprising humor. This series of comics is the brainchild of Miles Erickson, one heckuva comic strip creator. The four-panel illustrations from this account can be equal parts darkly funny and wickedly clever with currently 42,000 followers on Instagram. You are guaranteed to smile if you check his content full of dark humor at the beginning of each day with short funny comic strips. You will find below some of his latest works.

Realizing that making people laugh is hard work, Erickson said. It also requires impeccable timing, psychological insight and what people laugh at. The artist feels a great sense of satisfaction when they’ve made someone laugh. Slavev too, points out how hearing back from his readers (whether in person or through comments on social media), and having people share the blog post made him happy and pushed him to do even more work.

Erickson has been an avid comic book and online comics reader. Outside of jokes about.pdf files, his source material ranges from the news to Reddit and meme pages. These bizarre situations, unexpected turns and dark humor fill his comics. So, if you want to make a comic book on your own someday then Erickson’s work will definitely encourage you.
