Tuesday Notes: My Favorites

Lovelace and Babbage Against the Organist - the Finale!!! Very exciting. (I love how Babbage doesn't mind notes, as long as they're not expressed in noise form.)

Guy friendship can be odd and painful, at Sinfest.

This Abstruse Goose took me a while to get. It might be because I'm drunk. But then my boyfriend isn't, and he didn't get it either. I think I get it now - he wants to see the stars better, so he leaves the party. Which is kind of awesome.

At En Vaan Osaa!: I loved this little thing, it's like old-timey photos turned into a manic comic. Norpatti, the author, is a vegetarian; I'm not, but I still think people who call vegetarians childish are LAME.

American Elf is back to really cute childlike strips. I really liked today's strip where Oliver, quite nonsensically, decides to trample over his daddy's drawing in the snow. Awww. I also love his doggy hat.

The farmer's pride doesn't depend on the farm size, at Buttersafe.

And Ursula V has some flower seed ideas:
Berserker Bluebelles
Delerium Daisies

What can I add? Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Digger

I don't often read or write about the plot-based comics, because I seem to have no energy to get into them. But I wanted to give this one a chance, because it's by the awesome Ursula V, who invented the LOL WUT pear - or the Biting Pear of Salamanca, which is the real name.

I haven't read very far yet. It looked dark and strange at a first glance. But then I read the text -and it's about a wombat on a digging spree, and it sounds really philosophical and awesome. Start here. Hallucinations plan on eating him. And he ends up in a Hindu temple. This is a very interesting beginning indeed.

The art is black and white, with lots of emphasis on black. The wombat protagonist manages to be so very cute, even if the general tone of the images is dark and somewhat scary. This is true talent.

LOL WUT - The Origin. And Other Awesome Stuff.

So everyone has seen the LOL WUT pear, but I had never come across the original image, which is both cuter and more awesome than the LOL WUT thing. It's The Biting Pear of Salamanca. Which is apparently posing for a chipmunk's photo. So awesome.

This artist has many beautiful surreal drawings, sometimes with hilarious stories underneath. It's very random and strikes me as kinda similar to my comic attempts. (Except with 100 x better art.)
The Radish Wore Goggles.
Steampunk Rooster.
The Hare in the Road. (bears a resemblance to Kinoko Fry's stuff, perhaps?)
The Hedgehog's Balloon.
Battle Hamster Raid.
The Pearaphim.

I have no words. These are just too good.
