Source - Rob DenBleyker from Explosm.

[–]Thadenvy 5 points6 points ago

Is Rob an Atheist? I know Kris is, but I don't know about the other three.

[–]eleven_years_old 5 points6 points ago

I have been reading their comics for long time and I still have a hard time deciding whether or not he is or just doesn't mind poking fun at it. If I had to decide, I would say he was.

[–]Thadenvy 4 points5 points ago

Yea, I mean, I know Kris explicitly said, at the end of one of his "Depression Week" comics that "There is no god." So there is no debating on Kris. I'll assume from Fgame's comment that Dave announced it, since none of his comics say it explicitly. I'd say yes on Rob, but, as you said, all he does is poke fun at it. What about Matt?

[–]eleven_years_old 0 points1 point ago

I think barely any of Matt's comics mention religion. But, as for Kris, I know the particular comic you're mentioning and I assumed it was part of the joke, but now that you mention it, Kris being an atheist seems reasonable.

[–]Fgame 2 points3 points ago

Dave is one too.

[–]UnknownArchive 25 points26 points ago

Rehosting cyanide and happiness on imgur is fucking lazy, shitty content. Not to mention this is posted here at least three times a month.

[–]admiraljustin 7 points8 points ago

Besides which, rehosting is mostly for smaller sites that could be crushed by a sudden influx.

C&H isn't one of those sites, they can handle our traffic just fine.

[–]brianbrianbrian 97 points98 points ago

Fuck you rehoster, not citing source, blah blah blah. Asshole.

[–]i_am_cat 9 points10 points ago

You're doing Rob's work, son.

[–]Sit-Down_Comedian 5 points6 points ago

Apathetic rage. The most exotic flavor of the rages. Mmmmmmm.

[–]brianbrianbrian 3 points4 points ago

I like your name cause it reads as both a command and an adjective. I'm gonna spot you a karma point, brother.

[–]ComplacentBard 13 points14 points ago

The source is in the image...

[–]IchooseYou 26 points27 points ago

Site traffic for ads and such doesn't come from comics rehosted to imgur blah blah blah money blah credit blah Robert Downey Junior

[–]eridius 3 points4 points ago

Why did you just link that here?

[–]yall_ready_for_this 4 points5 points ago

Who knows but I'm glad he did.

[–]IamTheEddy -1 points0 points ago

You know, this is actually less convenient if the people looking for the original source have adblock turned on since it will cause the author to lose money in bandwidth. This is why I am against adblock and rely on Reddit and other sources to point me to reliable articles and websites to avoid annoying ads to begin with.

[–]needsmorewub 7 points8 points ago

The majority of people don't block ads so I think it's safe to post the original source. Also, if a revenue loss from people blocking ads worries you, hosting an image elsewhere just to bypass the ads on the creators website can be just as damaging.

[–]IamTheEddy -1 points0 points ago

Well, Reddit is well known for promoting adblock, so I think there are more people on Reddit who use adblockers than those who don't.

[–]needsmorewub 1 point2 points ago

Reddit is a generally more technically inclined crowd. Even so I highly doubt anywhere near a majority of almost 30 million people per month use adblockers, given that the statistics for something really popular like adblock plus is around 8% for Firefox users. Besides that, a lot of content creators have stores on their sites(like explosm does) so even if a lot of people had ad blockers but they bought something from the store, the creator just made way more money than if the visitors viewed an ad.

[–]philge 22 points23 points ago

Why link to imgur, and not the original source?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]philge 20 points21 points ago

Yes, but this is specifically against reddiquette:

Look for the original source of content, and submit that.

[–]needsmorewub 5 points6 points ago

A lot

[–]teuast 5 points6 points ago

Unless Jesus is Tony Stark. Then we might be getting somewhere.

[–]GetStapled 0 points1 point ago

It's really early and I could just be tired... But I think you just made me believe in Jesus.

[–]teuast 0 points1 point ago

Jesus Christ can walk on water. Jesus Stark can fucking fly.

[–]dhicks3 3 points4 points ago

I can see the lasers vaporizing a tiny layer of water beneath his feet, and the constant rising of the vapor holding Christ up. The making people walk again is the one that stumps me...

[–]Thadenvy 0 points1 point ago

He could use lasers to realign certain parts of their spine to disable their paralysis. Checkmate, Atheists.

[–]I_live_in_a_trashcan 2 points3 points ago

must we go through this every single time? Hey OP don't be a dick. Link to their website.

[–]nathris 2 points3 points ago

He uses his laser fingers to slow the water molecules down to near-absolute zero so they freeze and form a bridge that he then walks across.

[–]powerslave118 2 points3 points ago

I didn't think this was that great...

[–]philosophical_whale 1 point2 points ago

is it just me or are people re-posting this way too much

[–]pcnerd37 1 point2 points ago

Is it just me or is this a repost?

[–]ZeusWrath13 1 point2 points ago

Hello true believers, this is YHWH here. Will Jesus best his foe the dastardly Prince of Darkness in this issue of Revelations Weekly?

[–]PigFarmington 1 point2 points ago

This represents the same argument christans use. The "put words in your mouth and twist them" routine.

[–]bamfsalad 0 points1 point ago

I read it as Siri and not sir at first.

Cyanide & Happiness FTW :D

[–]azripah 0 points1 point ago

Simple. He uses his lasers to create pockets of steam, which push him to the surface of the water. Checkmate.

[–]HideYourChrist 0 points1 point ago

They disprovin everybody out here.

[–]LaserGhost 0 points1 point ago

It's entirely possible.

[–]angryyoungmann 0 points1 point ago

No disrespect to Explosm, but this shit isn't half funny as their other shit

Love them C&H comics.

"Sons of Judea, I am Jesus of Nazareth!"

--"Jesus is seven feet tall!"

"Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the Romans with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his ass!"

[–]wx3 0 points1 point ago

Let me summarize every comment: omg give credit to original source, repost, author deserves credit, every time this happens, cyanide and happiness is the source, please don't use IMGUR to host even though it credits source.

please... just... stop...

Upvote from a christian :)

[–]IamA_Jesus_AMA -1 points0 points ago

No one is going to doubt the man who can kill those who disagree with lasers.

[–]Xavier09 -1 points0 points ago

i lol'd anyway

[–]TsarCastic -1 points0 points ago

I thought it was common knowledge that Jesus used lasers to kill the dinosaurs.

[–]dzr724 -1 points0 points ago

the window was minimized when I opened this, so I could only see the first two columns. Made for an interesting read also

[–]Leechen -1 points0 points ago

Next time any religious person tries to convert me using this argument.
