Dark Humor Webcomics are a twisted delight, and today we’re diving deep into a comic review of 20 gems by the internet legends War and Peas. Known for their unapologetically sharp wit, these comics prove you can find gut-busting humor in ghosts, death, climate change, and even tampon-selling witches. Buckle up — it’s gonna get weird, wonderfully weird.
Artist bio
War and Peas is the brainchild of German comic creators Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz, a duo with a deliciously dark sense of humor. Their comic strip started in 2011 and has since evolved into a global cult favorite — gracing web platforms, anthologies, and even The New Yorker. Their signature style? Simple, clean illustrations that contrast brilliantly with themes like mortality, loneliness, technology, and existential dread. It’s pastel-colored nihilism at its finest — think Far Side meets BoJack Horseman.
#1 Ghost Hotline Hysteria.
A ghost calls for help after a living boy spots him. Turns out, the kid’s just a soul-staring weirdo. A hauntingly funny take on invisible anxiety — and the horror of being seen.
#2 Where Are My Cookies?!
A blue monster’s tech illiteracy escalates into full-on destruction after he misinterprets the “accept all cookies” prompt. Relatable rage. Elderly chaos. Comedy gold.
#3 Mixed Signals Graffiti.
When a cop interrupts anti-police graffiti, the suspect takes the message too literally. Hilariously uncomfortable and peak absurdity — you’ll cringe and cackle.
#4 Night Court… Literally.
Two judges have a yelling match in a bar over who’ll see who in court. A couple at the bar just shrugs — apparently this is a nightly ritual. Legal humor never hit so hard.
#5 Death’s Pun Problem.
The Grim Reaper is creeping outside the window, and when the guy cancels plans due to a “deadline,” Death chuckles at the pun. Dark humor meets dad joke — we’re dead.
#6 Existential Logging.
A tree warns a lumberjack that cutting him won’t fill the emotional void. Spoiler: the tree was right. Capitalism vs therapy in four perfectly executed panels.
#7 Car Confusion Kink.
The dangers of search engines gone wrong. All she wanted was cars, but… the internet had other ideas. Pure chaos delivered with VROOMs and honks.
#8 The Flower & the Bee.
This comic starts with romantic nature vibes and then detours straight into uncomfortable territory. Luckily, the bee brings consensual comedy to the rescue.
#9 Love Your Poop? Prove It.
A dung beetle is mocked for being overly affectionate toward its poop ball. What’s the ultimate clapback? Marrying it. This is peak commitment humor.
#10 Ghosts in Debt.
Turns out student loans follow you into the afterlife. That’s it. That’s the horror. It’s the most relatable ghost story you’ll ever read.
#11 Mouse Boss Problems.
Short emails seem rude… until you find out your boss is a tiny mouse typing every word with maximum effort. Adorable twist, quietly tragic.
#12 Castaway Cravings.
A solitary cave dweller gazes into the distance, reflecting on modern woes. What does he miss most? Raves. A comic that’s oddly poetic — and very sweaty.
#13 Coffee Crimes.
A vampire’s bloodlust is now a caffeine craving. The way he pounces on the barista for a sip of Viennese Roast is unsettling… and oddly civilized.
#14 Crop Circle Chaos.
NASA’s latest “project” is run by amateurs, and their alien crop circle design turns out to be pin-up art. Who needs science when you’ve got sass?
#15 Emotional Homelessness.
A philosophical musing on what home really means — until a stranger cuts in with, “Great story, snowflake.” Existentialism crushed by casual cruelty.
#16 Mr. Foot Needs a Fit.
Sasquatch needs a bigger shoe size, but the clerk’s terrified of stating the obvious. Funny, fast-paced, and filled with furry tension.
#17 Used Tampons, New Business.
A witch is selling tampons to vampires. Yes, really. It’s disturbing, lucrative, and painfully on-brand for War and Peas.
#18 Dating Dark Magic.
She says she has “the body of a 19-year-old.” Turns out, she wasn’t lying. She literally has two. There are jokes, and then there’s this level of jaw-drop.
#19 Tree of Hate.
A couple avoids a tree carved with a swastika… only to chill under one marked “hidden everyday racism.” The irony hits hard. Satire done right.
#20 Titanic Iceberg Legacy.
Two melting icebergs discuss climate change — one brags his great-grandfather took down the Titanic. Icy puns with hot political commentary.
