Geeks have a weird sense of humor. Geeks also read a lot of webcomics. As a result, many webcomics tend to have a bent towards surreal, non sequitur humor. '''Dada Comics''' take this to the extreme, being composed of nothing ''but'' surreal, non sequitur humor. They may be gag-a-day comics, or cover story arcs that make little or no sense. They may also be ([[Stylistic Suck|intentionally]]) badly drawn and scripted—the biggest difference between this and unintentional bad drawings and scripts is the difference between imitations of [[Word Salad Philosophy|timecube.com]] and ''[[The Eye of Argon]]''.

 

A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Surreal Humor]]. Compare [[Dream Land]], [[Surreal Theme Tune]]. See also [[Deranged Animation]], [[Post Modernism]].

== Comic Books ==

* Bob Burden's ''[[Flaming Carrot]] Comics'', combining [[Surreal Humor]] with occasional bits of wisdom. Also formed the basis for a movie that wasn't much like the original: ''Mystery Men''.

* ''[http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/ Flying Man and Friends]''. Pick a strip. Any strip.

* This one's called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120706194834/http://dada.warped.com/dada.html Dada]''. There are references to the original Dada movement; for instance, the Mona Lisa is a major character. Plots are followable, but are interrupted by word-association battles so often that you might not notice.

* Everything at ''[http://www.isthistomorrow.com/ Is This Tomorrow]'' qualifies, especially Aether Transmission.
