web comics
If the internet was a newspaper, Web Comics would be the funnies pages that people go for when it first shows up at their doorstep early in the morning.
It looks like real love is mostly about cleaning toilets and eating burritos but hey, it's great to have someone who will stick with you, even though you eat food and perform basic household chores sometimes... right?
Want to feel like absolute shit about love in a digital world? Well, cartoonist Tommy Siegel has some cartoons for you! He's taken Necco's (RIP) classic conversation hearts and put a seriously dark spin on the Valentine's confection. Instead of cutesy messages, he uses the hearts as to convey some seriously depression truths about dating, relationships, and marriage. And somehow, we can't get enough of his dark work. If you like what you see here, give the dude a follow on Instagram. He deserves it.
Unless you are a sexy moderator for an online humor network, dating is pretty tough in this day and age. Fortunately, the internet allows us to be alone together, and share situations that are relatable in an attempt to dissuade us from feeling the dreaded loneliness of our ancestors. Feast your eyes on these comics that capture those moments where dating goes wrong.
