Okay? Adam’s trying to infuse some humor into a pretty depressing situation. I don’t think that’s anything to be frowned upon. Timing aside, how is this any different than jokes he’s done before about being wheelchair-bound? Or receiving a cancer diagnosis?
I don’t think that Adam is endorsing going out and getting the virus, and by the first line you can tell it’s part of a joke. I can get where you’re coming from about this might not be the most sensitive of jokes, but that happens from time to time with all comedians. If this is all it took to dissuade you from liking the strip, I don’t know what to tell you there.
Keep on doing what you’re doing, Adam, I look forward to your comic whenever it updates!
Keep your hair on folks. Several countries have seriously proposed the “herd immunity” tactic, meaning let everyone get infected and then we’ll all be immune. I think that kind of thinking is rather ripe for a send-up.
A swing and a miss with the Americans as the Brits and Canucks have a sad chuckle.
Dark Comedy is just something innate to some cultures.
Reference for those not in the know when it comes to the subject on film.
I am Legend 1957
Last Man on Earth 1964 – Vincent Price
Masque of the Red Death – 1964
Omega Man 1971 – Charlton Heston – campy van campy
Andromeda Strain 1971
12 Monkeys 1995
Resident Evil – all of them 2001+
Contagion 2011
I recommend the Price films for they are good dark fun.
Drama Drama. I’m a UK resp tech and I appreciate humor like this. 🙂 Sharing with my pod @ work.
“with all the deaths” – Yes, with so far less total deaths than the 2017 flu season using WHO stats. Although curiously they removed historical data from their main site April 1st. Its still hosted by plenty of other medical sites…
Tragedy+Time=Comedy.
Not enough time has passed.
I’m taking Bug Martini off my rss list.
That’s subjective, I liked the comic.
Tragedy needs comedy for the soul to survive. I know that all too well.

sorry, but as much as I like you this joke is REALLY NOT appropriate with all the deaths.
Hey, I thought it was hilarious. What’s the point of living if we can’t poke fun at the stuff we’re going through right now?
Oh I do miss touching my face. Sometimes I have to look in the mirror just to make sure it’s still there.

How about a shirt that says
“I had Corona and I didn’t even get a shirt… oh wait”
“My friend went to Italy and all I got was this lousy casket.”
Dark humor is like food: not everyone gets it.
Well I laughed out loud at that one!
I think it’s amusing, although I like the darker humor. If I could trade in the T-Shirt for a plague doctor mask though… Love those things.
And if people think THIS is in bad taste, they should look up ‘Corona-chan’. Yes, it’s been Rule 34’d.
No need to worry about it happening anymore, because it’s happened. The other shoe has dropped.

The second panel was so dumb and bizarre that I couldn’t stop laughing!
I laughed myself sick.
So if i get coronavirus can i stop washing my hands everytime i touch something?
