MaryDeath is a comic about life, death, and everything in between. The story follows a young girl named Mary who happens to have befriended Death. Why Death has chosen to take interest in Mary remains a mystery, but despite his ever dark presence Mary finds comfort in his companionship.

MaryDeath Comics was created in the 2010s by Gwen Tarpley. The artist transitioned recently, but it seems they don’t mind their deadname being on their older comics (i.e. some of the recent posts still use it on their Cats Cafe comic, which is their main effort now.)

The artist mentions a "gothink" web site but looks like he let that domain expire. I think this cartoon is from the early 2010s, late 2000s.

bonus comics:

"On the run from her past, Doomie finds herself living in a haunted house with four weird roommates."

This came out in 2012, and is from the same guy who did the "Writhe and Shine" strip posted earlier.

The artist/writer eventually shifted to other work, though the comic strip archive is still online.

Writhe and Shine makes fun of the alternative underground scene from the inside and shows us that no matter how much black we wear or how moody we seem, we can still laugh at ourselves. Running off and on since 1998, it has been compared to The Addams Family and Cheers. The series follows a group of friends that work at and run The Bastille, the only Goth club in the historic and iconic city of New Orleans. It shows the difficulties of being a DJ, a doorman, a bartender, and an owner in a scene filled with the peculiar and the particular. Writhe and Shine is fueled with coffee, cloves, scene politics, overbearing ex-girlfriends, and beignets.

Looks like this particular strip is from 2011 and the artist/writer eventually shifted to other work, though the comic strip archive is still online.

So back in the early 2000s your "homepage" might be on someplace like geocities, and you'd be able to add a bit of HTML like this:

<A HREF="http://www.some-place/a-sprite.html"><IMG SRC="http://www.some-place/a-sprite.gif"></A>

It's a link to an image on another server, and adding that HTML would add that image to your homepage. The idea is that it'd be a picture of a cartoon character saying something and it might give you a different message next time you looked at your homepage because they'd periodically change the image on their server.

Anyway instead of a cutesy cartoon character saying positive uplifting things, some wiseguy made a cartoon character called "Tina the Troubled Teen". "She's fourteen, listens to Switchblade Symphony, cuts Geography class, and smokes cloves when no adults are around." according to the creators Lore Sjöberg ([who is on mastodon](https://mastodon.soci

Since this community allows more than just music, I thought I'd post a cartoon that I'd found.

Nemi is a character from Norway by Lise Myhre. i.e. she's written in Norwegian but for a while her strip was translated and ran in England. The character was originally just into metal but she's canonically also into industrial like Laibach and Ministry.

Anyway I think the cartoons are generally about how "dark culture" people fit into the world.
