30 'Well that escalated quickly' comics to tickle your dark sense of humor

Chris Allison aka "ToonHole Chris" has been creating comics for about a decade now. His thought-provoking comics that quite often tiptoe into the dark humor side of comedy has gained a substantial fan following over the years and just a scroll through his Instagram page—which has over 89k followers—is enough to make anyone obsessed with his work. With his "well, that escalated quickly" endings, each one of his comics is a masterclass in both illustration and storytelling.

Speaking to Bored Panda about his work, Chris explained that inspiration for a comic is like magic. "It can come from anywhere. A conversation, a book, an overheard conversation, a misheard word, or seeing somebody trip on the sidewalk. There are no rules," he said. "I've always wanted to do art. My advice for anybody looking to make comics to make people laugh is simply: do it. There is no shortcut or secret path to get good at making comics other than making comics. Do good drawings, do bad drawings, do whatever drawings you can."
