Macabre Humour

The Many Deaths of Norman Spittal. Hilarious, in a morbid sort of way. Also, chortle over these gags.

Okay, I know it isn't totally apropos to comment on my own posting, but I thought I would prime the pump, so to speak, by sharing this favorite from the above collection.

Suicide cartoons and photos are the new black.

Eh, The Book of Bunny Suicides is way better. As in, it's funny and not just one long fart joke.

(Though I did like the one with Norman on a plane full of crash test dummies. That was nice.)

i'd say not even as funny as Garfield. it's about as funny as ... Mary Worth... or Prince Valiant... or Ziggy.

Oh ho, Prince Valiant... *chuckle*
