Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

Wife bad
That's not the joke. I'm amazed no one can get the joke here.
Big expensive wedding bad
(But pointless RAM truck also bad)
What's pointless about a truck? They're insanely useful and valuable!
Pointless trucks, like in 90% of the cases. We are not talking about the people who actually use it for taking stuff with it on the field. We are talking about the assholes who drive it in cities "because it looks cool" or some shit. In case you were just kidding, consider my comment null.
Most trucks are for looks, and don't actually get used for anything heavy-duty, and RAMs in particular are garbage
Now how do you come to that conclusion??
The conclusion that most trucks are pointless, or the conclusion that RAMs are garbage?
The former by living in a place where pretty trucks are everywhere, and there isn't a single scratch or dent on most of them (and they're usually lifted crew cab short box). The latter, personal experience. If you want a truck, get a Toyota or a Chevy
What I've gathered here is that you come from someplace weird with truck nuts who have definitely rubbed off on you enough that you make sweeping generalizations.
That said, I'm pretty sure Chevy is the only manufacturer I didn't see on the list of auto makers lobbying against right to repair.
True, Alberta
Probably also true
Huh. Interesting.
Nah they did too
Yeah, I've been wanting a Subaru or Mazda, but it's looking like Chevy might be the way. I try really hard to stand on principles that matter.
Almost no one actually needs a full-size pickup. The only real exception is if you regularly haul heavy loads on trailers, but that doesn't apply to most full-size pickup owners. Most people buy them because it's part of an image they've been sold through the advertising industry.
I drive a 20-year-old mid-sized pickup with an extended bed and there has never been a single time when it hasn't been perfectly adequate for all my needs. It's also a 4-wheel-drive, but since I only ever use that feature on snow and ice and rough unpaved roads and am not an off-road enthusiast, it's not lifted and doesn't tower over other vehicles in traffic.
Yeah this comic might be the worst I've seen. Like ad placement as well, wut?
It's not an ad. The entire comic is setting up a pun around the male character feeling like he's dodged a bullet.
Its mocking overly-expensive weddings. It's mocking overly-expensive cars/trucks. It's mocking self-centred people in relationships who are oblivious to their partners' perspectives. It's mocking people who have no financial sense and see their wants as needs but are happy to dismiss their partners' wants as unimportant. It's mocking car adverts. But mostly, it's just a silly pun.
Thank you for explaining the whole joke
...I don't mean that sarcastically, some people needed the explanation
Yeah, it's a meta bad humor joke. Wife bad and inconsiderate.
An ad for what? Dodge hasn't sold trucks for 14 years.
