My only note would be that Satan's junk is too small.

You might recognise another less commonly attributed work.

Never knew ‘This is fine’ had any other panels, let alone that Raidersesque finale.

"Christ, what an asshole" is like the third comic. So, metafilter's own...?
Charles LaVoie was responsible for CWAA back in 2006, we merely adopted it, made it our own.

Is it just me, or are these just not funny?

The “Cow Tools, but hostile” vibe is intentional. From the about page:
So I started a drawing anti-comics with almost no punchlines and utter visually stupid gags that cluttered up the small oval I decided to draw most of them in. It was my little way of telling that encroaching darkness to go fuck itself.posted by zamboni at 1:55 PM on May 8 [4 favorites]
During my anger in writing this comic, I found a new appreciation of the art form of the single-panel gag comic. Far Side was one of my favorite newspaper strips as a kid, even if I understood very little of the jokes. There was something to them that stuck in my creative maw for some time. A different language and way of communicating arcane thoughts even if those thoughts were the dumbest joke you thought of.
Is it just me, or are these just not funny?
That's the point.

The "small oval" doesn't seem very small on my screen though, 50% magnification seems to fit them better. I suspect this is because I'm on desktop and the website is optimized for phones.

Fuck Off is one of the best comics online today and KC Green is a national treasure.
Never heard of him.
You've seen his work: "This Is Fine" Dog. "You dense motherfucker" (from his Anime Club comic). Dick Butt. I Guess Guy. Staredad. And of course, his web comic series Gunshow Comic, He Is A Good Boy, Funny Online Animals, and Back.
National. Treasure.

Oh man. My day has already been a grim foray into trying to cheerfully forge ahead through crushing despair from every direction. These panels perfectly reflect my cynicism back at me and I’m going to have to stop reading them now.
