Comics are a great way to find humor in the craziness of everyday life and to better understand the world around us. If you’re someone who’s been through both good times and bad, it can be especially brave to explore the world of edgy and maybe a little offensive humor. But just like spices can make food taste better, dark humor can help make even tough times more bearable and turn sadness into happiness.

We’re excited to share with you a fantastic collection of comics by Jauneil Arvin Ma-ao, a talented Filipino artist known as the “Idiot of the East.” He has a real knack for taking everyday situations and turning them into funny, relatable images that more than 76,500 people on Instagram enjoy following. He’s just trying to make a living doing what he loves, and he always puts his best effort into creating the best dark comics for his fans.

Sometimes, Jauneil finds it hard to stay focused and procrastinates, which can cause delays in his work. But he really values the positive feedback he gets from fans who appreciate his art. We’ve collected some of his best illustrations for you to enjoy, as a small thank-you for being awesome and persevering through life’s ups and downs.
