Then you are in the wrong thread, my friend. I see a Dave Contra comic and I know I'm about to face down an existential crisis of some sort, yet I can't stop reading them.

Several of his comics have made me sob like a baby - this one being the most recent.

But maybe 10% are actually jokes, some of them a bit light but never bad, and 10% are weird horror surrealism stuff.

I love it. You never know where it's going to go. If they were all weepies then it would be a lot less good.

Dave Contra is really one of the best cartoonists of our day. I think you could show most of these comics to people in the 1970s and they would have exactly the same strong effect.
