These are actually really cool... Do you know where the pictures are from?

[–]Woopza 329 points330 points ago

Its from a danish artist called John Kenn Mortensen

Absolutedisgrace probably have it from this post

[–]exitpursuedbybear 40 points41 points ago

Awesome very Edward Gorey.

[–]adso_of_melk 5 points6 points ago

I'm surprised more people haven't pointed this out. Everyone, buy AMPHIGOREY and read it cover to cover!

[–]lilymoonstone 2 points3 points ago

i second this forever. AND The Gashlycrumb Tinies. Edward Gorey is my hero.

[–]Sauciest_Cleavers 1 point2 points ago

[–]egg651 5 points6 points ago

[–]theguywhonevergetsto 1 point2 points ago

This makes me seriously considering buying a book from someone who posts his stuff on a blog for the first time.

[–]TheReggular 1 point2 points ago

The coolest thing is that these are drawn on post-it notes.

[–]KrimsonTide 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Bleach

[–]DavidJeffers 0 points1 point ago

I thought they were some disturbing adaptations of the Where The Wild Things Are monsters...

[–]Honkey-Dong 102 points103 points ago

[–]lethargicwalrus 12 points13 points ago

Thanks for linking to the creator!

[–]twoofhearts 8 points9 points ago

Monsters by John Kenn

[–]danrennt98 2 points3 points ago

No, it's Monsters by John Kenn

[–]download-donal 3 points4 points ago

seconded id love to know too

[–]vrosej10 16 points17 points ago

Me too. I think this might be one of the best things to float to the surface on reddit for a good long time. It's well drawn and pretty damn original.

[–]FrankWolf86 2 points3 points ago

Agreed... kinda made my day

"Don't hog the nocs bro" hands down made me laugh the hardest. Its times like this I realise I have a retarded sense of humour

[–]overall_anal 7 points8 points ago

I'm so uncomfortable now.

[–]Citizen_Snip 13 points14 points ago

[–]agator2 7 points8 points ago

This is incredible

[–]Cendeu 3 points4 points ago

Wow, this one hilarious.

[–]OppositeImage 13 points14 points ago

Well that's just weird as fuck.

[–]Javamonsoon 3 points4 points ago

That was marvelous.

[–]slinkysphinx 2 points3 points ago

People just don't understand Brad Neely, we're awesome. Everyone in my town loves him though!

[–]Fuzzykins 0 points1 point ago

I knew that was familiar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China,_IL

[–]Citizen_Snip 0 points1 point ago

Really disappointed with the show. It's funny, it's just completely different to his shorts. I wish he at least came up with different characters for it, they are so different.

[–]furlerer 0 points1 point ago

Holy crap, I had never heard of Neely before now. Thank you so very much.

[–]davvblack 7 points8 points ago

I don't get it.

[–]akavuuh 6 points7 points ago

Nocs, slang for binoculars.

[–]lethargicwalrus 9 points10 points ago

As long as you don't laugh at the "facebook gems," you're fine with me.

[–]tyrghast 7 points8 points ago

GEM GEM GEM x20

[–]makhno 2 points3 points ago

Now I just need to be able to use that phrase in real life. From now on I'll get really excited whenever anyone mentions binoculars.

[–]synachynadodiechodie 182 points183 points ago

"It's gonna be monsters fucking and shitting on each other, isn't it?"

"NOyes......."

[–]TheDukeDude 51 points52 points ago

The yes behind the no was great

[–]Scott555 15 points16 points ago

It's like its own literary device. Same with the CAN WE BORROW YOUR BOAT. Proly not new, but still.

[–]dclowd9901 1 point2 points ago

No!yes

[–]pete9129 430 points431 points ago

You should really have posted these in /r/4chan...

LOL 4chan seems like the worst title you could have ever chosen.

[–]MrIslander 155 points156 points ago

He stole this from r/4chan most likely. That's where I saw it like three days ago

[–]fuzzycynoaki 46 points47 points ago

The train went from r/4chan (three days ago) to r/imaginarymonsters (2 days ago) to here. I'm shocked it too so long.

[–]kostiak 14 points15 points ago

Bids on when this gets to 9gag, I'll go for 12 hours. Any takers?

[–]DlSCONNECTED 5 points6 points ago

Over.

[–]idledebonair 32 points33 points ago

I'll take the under... And then post them to 9gag

[–]ajkkjjk52 5 points6 points ago

That's the first time I've seen someone here admit to being on 9gag.

[–]tigernmas 5 points6 points ago

I go there sometimes to remind myself why I don't go there.

[–]hockal00gy 6 points7 points ago

It was on the front page 2 days ago.

[–]-Tommy 1 point2 points ago

When is funny junk going to get it?

[–]Buckwhal 0 points1 point ago

After they go through six more lawyers.

[–]Chimerathon 0 points1 point ago

To think the tracks started on /co/ several months ago, where these edits were originally made. Reddit is slow as fuck.

[–]fuzzycynoaki 0 points1 point ago

Well you know, it takes awhile for the pics to get through the tubes. 4 chan is on the other side of the Internet, and it's a long WY through those tubes.

[–]Lightspider 6 points7 points ago

I wont lie. This came up on my facebook feed. Hadn't seen it on reddit and felt it was worth sharing

-OP

I don't know if that's better, or worse.

[–]Grilled_Cheesy 2 points3 points ago

Saw this on /r/4chan about 5 days ago.

[–]Annarr 1 point2 points ago

Wait, so did people add captions to the pictures or something? Is that why it says 4Chan?

EDIT: LOL, just asking gets me downvotes. I wasn't sure why it said 4Chan at first, and was confused about all the captions. Apparently different people from 4Chan added a bunch of captions on it.

[–]Driesens 25 points26 points ago

Yeah, 4chan adds captions, they laugh at it, then Reddit comes along and picks up what was left so that they can laugh, too. IMO, it's not nearly as funny without the context of the fact that most of these would be from different people.

[–]yoat 4 points5 points ago

The context of "submitted by anonymous"?

[–]Driesens 7 points8 points ago

Well, if you think that it's just one idiot making all of these, it's kind of amusing, but to me, the thought that a bunch of b-tards all decided to take the time to make these is somehow funnier.

[–]MrIslander 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, off the top of my head, I think /ck/ did. Probably a different board though.

[–]flamuchz 14 points15 points ago

[–]camthecoyote 3 points4 points ago

I don't go on r/4chan, so im glad this was posted here. It was 1) funny, and 2) introduced me to a great artist.

[–]IAmNoneYa 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad he posted them here, I'm not subbed there and I found these hilarious

[–]rororourboat 30 points31 points ago

I don't know why but I read all of these in John C Reilly's voice

[–]fr0bos 5 points6 points ago

I read them all in homsar's voice; somewhat similar.

[–]ThaBenMan 64 points65 points ago

THIS FENCE IS BROKEN YO

[–]SC0TTBL4M 26 points27 points ago

Hey! I read the submission too!

[–]rconnelly20 6 points7 points ago

Yeah bitch

[–]ThaBenMan 2 points3 points ago

The one that says that is named Jessie Pinkmonster.

[–]x1expert1x 13 points14 points ago

Kinda reminds me of Bleach.

[–]f_myeah 6 points7 points ago

Yep, got to #11 and couldn't not think of Menos Grande

[–]Crocodilex 0 points1 point ago

I love you both for seeing that. You could even say some of them are similar to Fishbone.

[–]Timmers86 3 points4 points ago

I came here to say that. Makes me wonder if one or the other was an influence, or if people just inherently make the same creepy monsters.

[–]vemodono 32 points33 points ago

getting real tired of your shit.

[–]AscorGames 48 points49 points ago

[–]vemodono 1 point2 points ago

Made lol. I just found out its sweetest day. So happy sweetest day stranger.

[–]Finrayy 74 points75 points ago

[–]kingwi11 41 points42 points ago

The title of this reposted thread makes me so angry.

[–]xKaelic 2 points3 points ago

This is simply amazing, why is it labeled as such? Oh well, though I opt that the OP fix the title for repost/content purposes.

[–]josephanthony 6 points7 points ago

Great drawings. They actually look like the things I used to imagine were waiting under the bed or out in the dark, as a kid.

[–]BunnieBonnie 7 points8 points ago

"describe it to me."

I just laugh/sneezed Country Time Lemonade on my cat.

[–]thenordicspirit 9 points10 points ago

those illustrations would have scared the shit out of me as a kid. reminds me of Stephen Gammell's illustrations from the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" series.

[–]Kimster4Life 37 points38 points ago

Nice title, fuckwad.

[–]ss32 4 points5 points ago

[–]tristan113 3 points4 points ago

This was the top post on /r/4chan yesterday and you reposted it to /r/funny with the title "LOL 4chan"? I have no words

[–]CREEPYPASTA101 65 points66 points ago

OP NSFWish

[–]omgzpplz 9 points10 points ago

Not Safe For Wish

[–]Stands_w_Fist 1 point2 points ago

might wanna NSFW that?

[–]CREEPYPASTA101 4 points5 points ago

Done.

[–]mastabeats 0 points1 point ago

good job.

[–]Poza -1 points0 points ago

Good dog

[–]Anaract 8 points9 points ago

terrible title

[–]iLander99 6 points7 points ago

Dude, you just stole the whole imgur album from /r/4chan.

[–]grizzlix 2 points3 points ago

[–]ninjagrover 9 points10 points ago

The soup one is my favourite.

[–]wanders13 5 points6 points ago

From now on. Every time someone has something I want: "Don't hog the nocs bro"

[–]tacobellassasin 8 points9 points ago

these are creepy as fuck

[–]countlazypenis 6 points7 points ago

That's a nice xpost you have there...it would be a shame to not give credit for it.

edit: sauce - http://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/11lilo/monsters_by_john_kenn_edited_by_co/

[–]Gescean 1 point2 points ago

These look really familiar for some reason but I just can't remember where or why... especially that last one with the stretched faces and the kid in the cage.

[–]lady_syrupp 1 point2 points ago

The book is on preorder. Just bought it. Thanks Reddit.

[–]stokd 0 points1 point ago

I wish some of the originals were wallpaper sized, these are awesome!

[–]0hpacman 0 points1 point ago

That was awesome. Does the guy sell them as prints etc? I think i want the poison soup one in my kitchen...

[–]Keane1522 1 point2 points ago

Dammit, Frank

[–]sehajodido 1 point2 points ago

I met Kurt Cobain once

[–]umenthum 1 point2 points ago

There's a lot of great content like this in /r/4chan, if you guys want it, go there. Can we say no 4chan content in /r/funny. It kinda bugs me that will post shit like this from /r/4chan days later and get 10x the karma the person who did the original post did, just because that person had the self control to post in the correct sub.

[–]doofus62 2 points3 points ago

Great drawings, stupid comments.

[–]AsantiSanaSquashBana 9 points10 points ago

I haven't laughed this hard at something on Reddit in weeks

[–]MrMagpie93 4 points5 points ago

Saw this on /r/4chan and I still laughed me ass off at "THIS FENCE IS BROKEN, YO"

[–]Ensivion 2 points3 points ago

I feel like the 4chan comments are just perfect.

Something about the pictures are creepy but not threatening mostly. I'm very intrigued.

[–]Wingzero 3 points4 points ago

Those are fucking great, I love 'em. Reminded me so much of Where the Wild Things Are.

[–]FromAdam 2 points3 points ago

I love this. And I feel like it's unintentionally poignant in the sense that monsters are supposed to be shocking and frightening, but whoever made these captions creates a reality where monsters are a part of everyday life, and focuses instead on their slightly obnoxious and intrusive behaviour.

[–]vemrion 0 points1 point ago

"We're remodeling."

I lost it. Good find, OP.

[–]consign_to_oblivion -1 points0 points ago

This was the highlight of my Saturday. Thank you.

[–]cylindercat 0 points1 point ago

I'd love to see more of these; they're hilarious!!

[–]CommunistPenguin 0 points1 point ago

Creepy, but funny.

[–]Mancubus18 0 points1 point ago

I thought these were kinda funny but wasn't laughing, then I got to this one http://i.imgur.com/FU4HT.jpg and freaking lost it. That monsters face goes perfectly with the caption they added.

[–]N71FS 1 point2 points ago

These remind me of "Where The Wild Things Are"

[–]themostErotic 0 points1 point ago

For some reason I read most of these in Louis Griffin fathers voice, from FG.

[–]blarg_dino -1 points0 points ago

These are actually very funny...

[–]BeatsbyChrisBrown 0 points1 point ago

Monster's Inc. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

[–]pgouw -1 points0 points ago

[–]ArtisticAquaMan -1 points0 points ago

Holy shit man these are awesome as an artist who does a lot of deathly looking work I really appreciate the art itself plus the captions are hilarious thanks for posting this OP

[–]criticalnegation 0 points1 point ago

[–]LadyCog 0 points1 point ago

The tree-house one made me laugh my throat sore! x'D Ah, Bender! The drawings are really cool, I've checked out some of Mortensen's work before, but I haven't seen all of these before :D

[–]Wonderjea 0 points1 point ago

I would have posted the link to his blog.. but it seems as if countless others have already!

[–]HustlerThug 0 points1 point ago

Your title is an Absolutedisgrace.

[–]GrayTiger44 0 points1 point ago

this is funny but i think the guy who drew those pictures is kinda fucked up

[–]lightningz1 1 point2 points ago

They remind me of Hollows.

[–]Crocodilex 0 points1 point ago

especially the second image one! kinda like fishbone, or a non-arrancar in Hueco Aundo

[–]ThatGasolineSmell 0 points1 point ago

Oh shit, I thought this was the actual real version… HAHA these are genius :D

[–]instrumentality 0 points1 point ago

Really cool

[–]tkdodo99 0 points1 point ago

I'm not a big fan of horror/creepy dark shit but I find his art really intriguing. It has something to it I can't quite say what that makes it really cool.

[–]magnetar5135 0 points1 point ago

It's actually a xpost, I get that he didn't mention it and he should have, but it's not like those bullshit posts that get posted every week here, this content is actually pretty new
