Dark humor is not everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of comic fans do indeed love this type of joke. So, if you enjoy jokes with a bit of irony and surprising twists, you might love the comics created by Dmitri Piankov.
Dmitri Piankov is a Russian-based artist who has been doing stand-up comedy for many years. He recently started publishing his drawings on Instagram under the name "dmitripiankov.comics". As he shared in his bio, he draws funny comics to make people happy. Dmitri loves to draw, and he does this work very responsibly. Among the thousands of comics posted every day on social media, Dmitri's comics, in which he adds a little sarcasm and a few unexpected events, stand out from the crowd with his quirky sense of dark humor. His illustrations also look simple due to using only 2-4 panels to tell a story. In addition, the comic's harmonious color combination makes audiences feel at ease.
Although Dmitri's comics look simple and easy to complete, don't judge a book by its cover—it takes the creator 4-6 hours to finish one comic. Dmitri gets inspiration for making comics from cartoonists and stand-up comedians Demetri Martin, Safely Endangered, and Joan Cornella. As we can see, making comics usually requires a lot from artists, in terms of talent, ideas, and especially passion for drawing.
Most of Dmitri's works describe situations and characters that seem familiar but are unpredictable. I bet you guys will burst out laughing at his comics after you comprehend them. Here are Dmitri's most recent comic series, which will have you saying, "Oh sh*t, I didn't see that coming." Let's take a look at witty comics by Russian comedians and prepare to laugh!
