Dark and deep humor hits different—it’s not just punchlines, it’s perspective. And when it comes to twisted wit and jaw-dropping cartoon scenarios, nobody nails it quite like The Grog. In this comic review, we showcase 20 of his most outrageous, ironic, and downright absurd comics that perfectly embody what dark and deep humor should be. From bulls applying at china shops to dogs trick-or-treating for cats, this is humor with a jagged edge—equal parts funny and uncomfortable, with a side of “did they really go there?” Spoiler: yes, they did. And it’s glorious.
Master of Bold and Bizarre Cartoons
The Grog is a cartoonist who thrives in the land where logic dies and laughs are born. His art style? Bold lines, flat colors, exaggerated expressions—and zero concern for political correctness. That’s a recipe for dark and deep humor if we’ve ever seen one. A regular contributor to The Single Cell and Animal Rites, The Grog often uses anthropomorphic animals, awkward human moments, and twisted perspectives to make you chuckle, cringe, and think (but mostly chuckle). If your humor thrives in the shadows, welcome home.
Explore The Grog’s Best Dark and Deep Humor
#1 Driving Giraffes and Delusional Positivity
These giraffes are packed into a convertible headed toward a 13-foot bridge. One of them declares, “Do not ever underestimate yourself.” Talk about toxic optimism. It’s the kind of motivational poster that leads straight to disaster—literally. This cartoon kicks off the collection with ironic inspiration and vehicular doom.
#2 Single and Desperate: The Cringe Compilation
This multi-panel comic is every introvert’s dating nightmare. Using dogs to meet people, bumping grocery carts, and overanalyzing bar ratios—Grog turns sad desperation into gold. It’s funny because it’s true, and also because it hurts. Perfect for fans of socially awkward dark and deep humor.
#3 Bull Interviewing in a China Shop
Equal opportunity? Sure. But when a literal bull shows up to work at a china shop, even the best HR intentions wobble. This panel delivers smart social satire under the disguise of slapstick. And we’re here for it. Cue the crash in 3…2…
#4 Bar = Meat Market (But Make It Literal)
Taking things literally is a Grog specialty. This comic flips the classic “meat market” bar joke on its head by placing a butcher in the corner, hawking steaks and poultry. The expression of the woman mid-realization is the perfect cherry on top of this twisted visual pun.
#5 Tortoise Gets the Last Laugh
Slow and steady doesn’t just win the race—it also gets the girl. This comic reimagines the tortoise and hare tale, only this time, the victory lap ends in bed. “Quicker isn’t always better,” says the tortoise, smug as ever. Not safe for children—but very safe for people with a dark sense of humor.
#6 The Phone-less Horror
Nothing says “existential dread” like being phone-less at a bar in 2025. This comic nails the quiet panic of social isolation without a screen to hide behind. Everyone’s glued to their phones while one poor soul contemplates his social death. A digital-age tragedy, hilariously drawn.
#7 Moo-vie Night for Cows
Imagine cows watching a western where the humans are wearing cowhide. That’s this comic. The cows realize what’s happening—and chaos ensues. The line “use the milking machine!” is absurd perfection. Bonus points for irony and cow justice.
#8 Misunderstood Beaver Grooming
The phrase “shave your beaver” gets way too literal in this suggestive comic. Grog pushes the envelope with wordplay that’s not only inappropriate but irresistibly funny. If you like your cartoons with innuendo and a touch of shock value, welcome to paradise.
#9 Surprise! It’s a Brady Bunch Date
A guy shows up with flowers and gets ambushed by a woman and her five kids. The best part? Her timing: “I guess this is a good time to tell you I have five kids.” The horror in his eyes speaks for us all. Parenting humor done dark and deep.
#10 Porcupines + Raft = Bad Plan
Team-building exercises are dangerous. Add porcupines and inflatables? Catastrophic. This cartoon delivers pure physical comedy and a spiky metaphor for poorly planned corporate bonding. It hurts just looking at it—and that’s what makes it brilliant.
#11 Plane Pains and Toxic Thoughts
A creepy dude boards a flight with two inner monologues: one sexual, one flatulent. It’s disgusting, it’s exaggerated, and yes, it’s hilarious. Grog takes the worst kind of seatmate and turns him into a cartoon villain with gas. A flightmare worth watching—at a distance.
#12 Spinach Teeth of Doom
Dating disasters strike again. A guy tries not to stare at the forest of spinach between his date’s teeth, while she rambles on blissfully unaware. We’ve all been there (hopefully not that bad), and the tension is cartoon gold. Social horror meets deep humor here.
#13 Dogs Trick-or-Treating for Cats
This Halloween comic takes dog logic to the next level. Two pups in costume are thrilled to get “Kit Cats”—actual cats. One’s even mid-screech as it’s dropped in the bag. Absurdity level: expert. Halloween humor at its weirdest and most wonderful.
#14 The Chicken Joke—Unleashed
A guy wonders why “choking the chicken” doesn’t feel good—because, well, he’s literally choking a chicken. Meanwhile, his dog mutters “IDIOT” from under the bed. Grog masterfully plays dumb behavior for laughs, turning innuendo into innocent lunacy.
#15 Snake Has No Hands—Skydiving Disaster
Reptiles are skydiving. All is well until we see the snake, whose “PULL” cord is impossible to reach. Its horrified “uh oh!” says it all. This is pure slapstick layered with the kind of helpless horror that defines dark humor.
#16 The Therapist Can Go to Hell
A woman tries to take her therapist’s advice to “accept him as he is”—but internally, she’s raging. The juxtaposition of calm exterior and fiery internal monologue is painfully real and wickedly funny. Couples therapy, Grog style.
#17 Bunnies That Judge Like Boomers
A rabbit couple walks by another with only two kids and snarks, “They breed like humans.” Role reversal humor that’s simple, effective, and packed with irony. It’s observational comedy with bunny ears—and it lands.
#18 12 Beers Later… Romance
“YOU WERE RIGHT! I had to consume 12 beers exactly.” And there he is, cozied up to someone who… let’s just say wasn’t his first pick sober. Liquid courage takes center stage in this punchline, and it’s a masterpiece of regret-meets-reality.
#19 Playing Dead Like a Pro
After a car crash, possums litter the scene. A medic arrives and says, “Who’s really hurt and who’s playing?” The kicker? An acting school is in the background. This comic is meta, ridiculous, and perfect. Award these possums an Oscar—or at least a cartoon Emmy.
#20 Price Check Nightmar
Public humiliation is real—and Grog’s final comic nails it. A clerk calls out, “Price check on 100 extra small condoms!” while the poor guy melts into embarrassment. It’s crude, it’s exaggerated, and it’s a perfect ending for this deep dive into twisted humor.
