Here are some wordless stories about this ironic, funny world we live in. Above, here's Bosc, writing about luck and death.

Sempe gives us a multi-panel epic.
Mordillo's world is slightly insaner than anyone else's.

Awesome stuff, thanks so much for sharing! Sempe's "epic" multi-panel is hilarious--he does an amazing job of conveying feelings with such few strokes.
Also, I love the composition in the first cartoon of the post, by Al Ross! The piece of trash carries so much "weight" on the page. The clean-up guy's eyes and the sitting man's arm all form a perfectly straight line to focus our attention on the little piece of paper.
