Cyanie and Happiness is a webcomic hosted on Explosm.net and written by four authors. It was founded on 9 December 2004 and has hosted daily comics since 26 January 2005. It appears frequently on social networking sites (Such as Myspace, LiveJournal), web forums, and blogs as it openly allows and encourages fans to hotlink images, a behavior that many webcomics frown upon as "Leeching". The comic's authors attribute the comic's success to its often controversial nature.
