Crazy is Funny
by H. Balsagnia
A good friend of mine emailed me the other day to tell me about his new web venture. He has started an online comic strip appropriately titled, "Harry the Sociopath." It is a lighthearted look into the life of an absolutely f**king crazy introvert named Harry.
I was granted the pleasure of seeing several comic strips that have not yet been put online yet, and of course I have read the ones that are. Luckily I have a broad sense of humor, because you need it to enjoy this strip.
In just about every strip, at least one person will be tortured, maimed, stabbed, burned, gutted, or killed. The genius of the comic is how Harry is made to look like a Gomer Pile-ish goofball and haphazard stander-by. Even whilst horrifically torturing a guy with a machine like the life-sucking contraption from "The Princess Bride," there is somehow a pleasant feeling about it all.
Poorly "drawn" with photoshop, "Harry the Sociopath" is surely something not to show your kids, but if you enjoy the dark and horrible side of humor, this is the comic strip for you.
