I can't remember any details on this, so I'm probably going to butcher it, but I once heard a comedian talk about this. Roughly, he said:
I love it when couples say "we're expecting." Like "we're expecting a baby... But it could be an orangutan!"
That sounds like Garfunkle and Oates.

Possible, but I don't think I ever watched or listened to their material. I was thinking John Mulaney or Mike Birbiglia but couldn't find a clip of either of them saying it after a brief search.

I can't guarantee the authenticity but a friend of a friend's wife ended up pregnant. She very clearly wanted to be a mother more than anything.
She ended up kind of having a miscarriage because the placenta was just straight up empty. Like her brain just convinced her body that she was pregnant and began the process.

It's a comedy strip, and humour is extremely subjective. What works for one person won't work for someone else.
I see it as intentionally being a "bad taste" comic by design, and as someone who never enjoyed Happy Tree Friends or other franchises which use violence, sex or toilet humour as cornerstones, it's already on an uphill battle as far as my tastes are concerned.
Of course, dark humour and "bad taste" have been important parts of human comedy since forever, and I don't mind them when it serves a purpose. But Cyanide and Happiness seems to exist purely on bad taste, as if bad taste is entertaining in it's own right.
To me it feels completely insubstantial, and so for me it's a pass.
C&H had some hits years ago but yeah it does seem like they have to keep jumping the shark to stay relevant and it’s a miss so so so often.
That said I’d take 10 bad C&H over another bluejayoo

I like c/comicstrips but I wish there was a way to exclude certain artists whose sense of humour is incompatible with mine.
I never want to see this artist nor cyanide and happiness ever again, if I can help it.
A community rule to tag the artist in the title would make it possible to filter by keyword. Seems like a pretty reasonable rule to put in place, imo, if only for attribution purposes even.

Gives me strong Mulaney vibes. I know I've heard it before.

It's a pitty. I love Extrafabulous comics. And I was thinking people would like it here. Even so his humour could be kinda weird.
...I love it and think your OP has an extremely long stick up his butt lol

I think he used this one in multiple variations. But I love that one too. Pretty much a good meme material.

Jim Gaffigan maybe?

He had a whole bit that included babies being skinned for wallets by a cold laser bath machine but okay.

Who would do that if they didn't like babies?

The original was Goku and Spiderman making love, if I'm not mistaken

That's Bene Gesserit 101.

Placentzza.
So, uh, fun fact, "placenta" is just the Latin word for "cake".
So the word you're looking for is "calzone". -

That's fair. I keep their website bookmarked but sometimes I wonder why I bother to check it at all. I think my sense of humor was a bit simpler 10 years ago.
