Cyanide & Happiness: Stab Factory (20th Anniversary Edition)

Book excerpt: Once again, creators Kris Wilson, Rob DenBleyker, and Dave McElfatrick combine some of their best strips and a host of never-before-seen comics into this classic collected book, all dressed up for the 20th anniversary of their creation. In the best, sickest tradition, Cyanide & Happiness’ adorable stick figures and the wildly inappropriate topics they cover—including cannibalism, murder, and incest—is not only reminiscent of early 00s web humor, but offers a timeless profane sensibility all its own. Also including a foreword by comedian Bo Burnham and “Poetry Corner,” a series of demented rhymes, this 20th anniversary edition of BOOM! Studios’ second collection of comic strips from Cyanide & Happiness, will surprise even conscientious readers with stick figures dishing out and receiving the worst that life has to offer in concise strips that are so funny, you’ll forget to feel bad about laughing.
