Wondermark is a webcomic created by David Malki which was syndicated to Flak Magazine and appeared in The Onion's print edition[1] from 2006 to 2008.

A typical Wondermark episode consists of one or more Victorian-era drawings of people and/or objects, repeated for several panels, with dialogue added to create a joke.

The creator, David Malki, has stated that the images are obtained from public domain primary sources such as 19th century-era periodicals.

Malki provides commentary on the making of individual Wondermark episodes over accelerated 2-minute long time-lapse screen recordings of that strip being created.

It satirizes the committee-rules process that creates many newspaper comic strips as well as other elements of popular culture (such as movie trailers, which Malki used to edit as his full-time job).

In 2008, 2009, and 2010, three Wondermark hardcover collections were published by Dark Horse Comics: Beards of Our Forefathers, Clever Tricks to Stave Off Death, and Dapper Caps & Pedal-Copters.

Malki has also collected the animal-themed comic strips into a small "Pocketbook" volume entitled Classy Lady Like You Will Love the Smell of My Butt.

The books collect chapters of short fiction originally published by Malki in his twice-weekly Wondermark email newsletter, from which an overall story arc eventually emerges.

In 2014, Malki published a "Pocketbook" of short, Edward Gorey-inspired bits of morbid verse called Horrid Little Stories: Sixty Dark and Tiny Tales of Misery and Woe.

Wondermark is part of the Playground Ghosts collective whose other members include Reprographics, Acid Keg, Fluff in Brooklyn, Alien Loves Predator, and Pixel.

[4] In 2012 and 2013, Malki led workshops at MaxFunCon called "Victorian Portraiture the Easy Way", in which conference attendees used scissors and glue to make Wondermark-style portraits of themselves.
