Is this the original comic?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Looks like the name came from this comic:

Cyanide & Happiness was originally called Comicazi. The name Comicazi was being used by comic vendors, so I changed the name to Cyanide & Happiness based off the ingredients of back alley cotton candy in one of the earliest comics, as well as to reference Calvin and Hobbes. Couple months after that, Cyanide & Happiness was invited to be on Explosm.net.

So I don't think this was the original, just an early one.

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.
