These ain't the comics you'd buy at the news stand as a kid. These comics are dark, relatable, and honest - a far cry from the Archie, Betty and Veronica of yore. And that's exactly why we love them.
nihilist memes
We don't know about you, but it's February and that means that we are completely in the thick of our seasonal depression. Instead of turning to yoga practice, Pure Moods, or wholesome memes, we've decided to lean into the despair and stare right back at the abyss. If you like what you see here, catch some more of these cheerful memes here.

Only 90's kids will understand this specific expression of existential dread. Lisa Frank's wildly colored animal art was all the rage nearly two decades ago, and now it's being repurposed by the Nihilisa Frank Facebook page to give an entirely more philosophical message. The memes are a perfect combination of nostalgia and jaded misery - and possibly the best thing we've seen on the internet this week.
