Woops…

…so apparently I managed to mess up posting todays comic, that is, I must’ve forgotten  to upload it to the server in the first place. Oh well, I’ll fix it as soon as I get home from work. In the meantime, and I plan for this to be a regular feature of this blog, I’d like to recommend other comics on the web for your reading enjoyment.

First off is Simulated Comic Product by Kevin Forbes, which oftentimes features sad robots, scientific themes and/or obscure references. Either way it goes, it’s always brilliant and hilarious. Read it!

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that this SCP strip actually has a single line of Norwegian dialogue provided by yours truly!

Comic Recommendation Time!

You should all read Pictures for Sad Children by John Campbell, but honestly I’m not entirely sure why. That is, I laugh out loud at pretty much every strip, but still being unable to pinpoint exactly why it works. It could be the completely deadpan deliveries of the dry jokes, coupled with the ultra-minimalistic art that bring so much to the humour despite being extremely simple. I absolutely adore the ambiguity of the expressions, rendered in the most basic way with only dots for eyes and lines for arms, but still they communicate just enough of the essentials to make it fantastically hilarious — when it by all accounts really shouldn’t.

Also, who wouldn’t want to parade around in a shirt sporting a drawing of the Eiffel Tower and the word “Paris”, laughing quietly to themselves as everyone else probably are missing the fine print of “Just another bullshit town” below.
