The Oatmeal makes me laugh uncontrollably. Sure, he doesn’t have the most normal kind of humor, but boy is he dementedly funny. Here is his comic on how the male angler fish gets completely screwed (poor male angler fish). ㅠㅠ

Now Koreans eat female Angler fish all the time. It’s called Agwi or agu (아귀/아구). This comic makes me reconsider eating that fish now.
