Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Or the third option, it's not that funny.

When it comes to black humour, people tend to have lower standards. I guess for them the shock factor is enough to carry the joke. But once you've seen enough black humour, the shock factor starts to wear thin. The shock factor should complement the joke, not be the subject of it.

Have you considered the fourth, correct option, that humor is as subjective as musical taste?

Nah, this is pretty funny, especially gobbling the sleeping pills.

Now, dead baby jokes rely mostly on the shock factor. I'm still immature enough to think they're funny as well.
