This Will Bury You Should You be Buying this? Is This Some Kind of Joke? Is This Supposed to be Funny? Should you be laughing at this?

Rarely have simple line drawings been made to enact the kinds of scenarios found in Icelandic artist Hugleikur Dagsson’s cartoons. From the absurd to the offensive to the immoral, Dagsson includes every taboo out there. Dagsson’s sweet little cartoons took the Icelandic counterculture scene by storm becoming a best-seller in Iceland. The stage play from Should you be laughing at this? won the Best Play of 2005 award in Iceland’s main national newspaper.
