It’s really more dark/sardonic than depressing, but I just want an excuse to mention the always wonderful [Perry Bible Fellowship](https://pbfcomics.com/). A few might qualify. The website seems to be crashed but [here’s a mirror of some of them](https://www.boredpanda.com/dark-twisted-humor-comics-perry-bible-fellowship-nicholas-gurewitch/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic). > [@Dendarii\_Dame](#): > > For saddest animated cartoon, the episode of Futurama with Fry’s dog. It’s not sad. It just uses a version of Smell-O-Vision that puts a dust cloud into the room. I’m sure some of you are familiar with Ctrl+Alt+Del’s [Loss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(comic)) comic, which is supposed to be sad but became a meme about mawkishness. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > The oddity with **RedSwinglineOne** ’s link isn’t anything of his doing. The server that’s hosting it is just configured weirdly for some reason. And it might be annoying to have to choose an application to view an image instead of it just showing up in the web browser, but it’s not harmful. Thank you **Chronos**. I simply searched Google Images with my description and chose the best looking one. It didn’t appear in my browser differently than any other internet image, so I’m sorry if I linked to an usual format. ---

Not the saddest, but I feel for that [gall bladder](http://theawkwardyeti.com/comic/gall-bladders-day/). “I maked these…” ---
