About Max Garcia: The Artist Behind Sunny Street
Max Garcia is the twisted genius responsible for Sunny Street, a single-panel comic series that’s anything but sunny. His work has carved a unique lane in the world of dark humor comics, often combining the innocence of cartoon visuals with delightfully unhinged punchlines. Think Gary Larson meets adult swim, and then add a dash of salsa.
#1 Alf? More Like “Half”.
Let’s start with a nostalgic gut punch—literally. The adorable ALF from the ’80s is shown in his full alien glory… until he’s not. Cut in half, entrails out, and captioned simply “HALF,” this strip is both gross and glorious. Dark humor doesn’t get more literal than this.
#2 Karma Comes in Blustery Gusts.
In 2000, a teenage boy mocks a girl for a wardrobe mishap. Fast-forward to 2015, and the tables (and shirts) have turned. This brilliant time-jump comic delivers petty revenge served cold with a side of wind chill. Poetic justice never looked this breezy.
#3 The Ear Cutoff Was a Clue.
A guy’s road rage gets the better of him—until we see who cut him off. It’s Vincent Van Gogh behind the wheel. One-eared, headbanded, and completely unfazed. High-brow art reference meets low-brow comedy. Chef’s kiss.
#4 Take It Easy, Sloth.
A sloth driving while jamming to The Eagles’ “Take It Easy”? Naturally, he’s crawling at 5 mph and blocking traffic for miles. A fantastic metaphor for people who take “chill” to a public menace level.
#5 HR Lost Control of Hump Day.
“Hump Day” at work goes horribly wrong when HR has to call in a couple who misunderstood the term… physically. This comic delivers awkwardness with office-culture critique. Wednesday will never be the same again.
#6 Hatchling Mix-Up.
A crocodile in a chicken nest, complete with eggshell hat and confused stare? It’s the ultimate adoption gone wrong. “Awkward” doesn’t even cover the emotional damage in this barnyard tale.
#7 Sip Happens
A milkshake dad quiets his baby… by sipping it with a straw. What starts as adorable turns into a drinkable nightmare. Welcome to parenthood, Sunny Street style—where nothing is off-limits.
#8 The Saucy Flasher.
“Did someone say condiments?” asks a ranch dressing bottle… who’s exposing himself to mustard and mayo. This comic is pun-heavy, slightly NSFW, and irresistibly ridiculous.
#9 Dragon Slayer Gets Grilled.
Caveman slays a massive, multi-eyed dragon. His mate? Not impressed. “But did you bring eggs?” The domestic expectations in this prehistoric comic are hilariously relatable—and brutally dismissive.
#10 Grim Reaper: Nicest Guy Ever.
Need a light? Death’s got you covered. This dark gem shows the Grim Reaper helping someone light a cigarette, complete with a cheery “Glad to help.” The irony is so thick, you could slice it with a scythe.
#11 Mile-High Mayhem.
The Wright Brothers are thrilled to invent flight. Then—cut to the future—someone screams “Mile-High Club!” as they exit a plane bathroom. A perfect blend of historical pride and modern depravity.
#12 The Mourning Flamingo.
A flamingo in a tux stands at a grave that reads “Don Featherstone.” It’s quiet, beautiful, and tragic—until you realize Featherstone invented plastic lawn flamingos. This one hits deep and then hits funny.
#13 Kool-Aid Weight Woes.
A sad Kool-Aid Man on a scale. The nurse tells him, “It’s mostly water weight.” The best kind of body-shaming comic—aimed at fictional beverages. Wholesomely dark.
#14 Invisible Jet, Visible Tints.
Wonder Woman’s invisible jet gets tinted windows. Genius. She now soars in invisible comfort with visible coolness. This strip lands squarely in the territory of clever and absurd.
#15 Queen Mom, the Couch Potato.
A termite queen lounges like royalty, watching trash TV and eating ice cream. The coiled abdomen, the throne of fluff—it’s the perfect dark mirror to human laziness. Nature’s got couch potatoes too.
#16 Darth Vader’s Playlist.
Darth Vader lounges while jamming to “On the Dark Side.” It’s oddly wholesome. Who knew the Dark Lord of the Sith liked retro tunes and whiskey?
#17 Turtle Trouble.
A turtle on its back spins helplessly while others just… watch. Eventually, it mutters, “Little help.” Existential and hilarious—a brutal metaphor for social indifference.
#18 Tomato Gets Served.
A tomato corrects the waiter’s pronunciation, insisting on “tomahto.” The waiter—clearly a French fry—shuts him down with a savage: “That’s why you’re dining alone.” Ouch.
#19 Cadaver Magic.
“Abra… CADAVER!” says a magician in the morgue. Hospital staff is not amused. This is dark magic in every sense of the word—and completely hilarious.
#20 Proposal Fail of the Century.
A man pranks his partner with an “April Fools” engagement box. The last panel? News anchor reporting he’s been “completely obliterated.” Honestly, he had it coming.
