Cyanide and Happiness is a long-running webcomic that first appeared in 2005 on the website Explosm.net. Created by a team of artists, the comic became a staple of internet culture due to its distinct stick-figure art style and unapologetically dark, often controversial humor. While the comics cover a vast range of topics, the memes often take specific panels out of context or use the characters' iconic expressions to convey awkwardness, existential dread, or sudden plot twists. Its longevity and consistent output have turned it into one of the most recognizable and versatile templates for anyone looking to poke fun at the absurdity of life or deliver a cynical punchline.
