Disturbing Comics To Make You Laugh (or Cringe)
I'm a big comic book fan. I'm hard to please though when it comes to comedy, so my favorite comic strips are usually the ones with dark, unexpected, even gory humor.

Personal finances are just that, personal. I notice that people start to get uncomfortable when the topic comes up.

Star Wars Fashions – Darth Vader Never Looked So Chic!
