It’d been so long since we first noticed graphic novel upstart NYC2123 that we’d forgotten about it until we saw it mentioned on Metafitler. Downloadable to PSPs or readable on the web, it’s your standard 80s style cyberpunk, but nicely presented and fairly cool.

“look closely the head becomes the shapeshifting head of the snakeman and the human head of the owl…& then when you look even closer can you see a variety of heads including female with long hair.. the ART is saying to us.. which HEAD do u want TODAY?”
We have no quarrel with this logic.
For this animated GIF to do anything besides confuse you, you need to have seen the Lord Of The Rings, and you need to get gamer speak, so this is basically comedy for both kinds of asperger’s syndrome victims… and maybe people who took linguistics in college thinking “linguistics” was a lesbian sex thing. We see this, we reckon Generation Y is doomed to burn in slack jawed semi-literacy… of course our parents had those kinds of fears about television and rampant childhood obesity, and that was all nonsense, so we guess we’ll just relax.

A series of “classic internet infomercials featuring Adventures of Confessions of Saint Augustine Bear”, the most meta-internet goofing style humor internet comics yet from My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable (AKA “Get Your war On”). Evidently David Rees misses the 90s almost as much as OK Soda does.

Eric Faustus’s Sorcery & Sanctity Comics are fresh bit of net weirdness which seems to be shaping up into something interesting. Features that early zine-like cut and paste random style of humor that people tend to either love completely or are utterly bored by. Ic above taken from “Love That Dracula.”

General Zod’s Cookhouse - a funny doorway to one of the internet’s classic pointless odd sites, Mingthemerciless. If you’ve never been and you have a low tolerance for sense, this is going to feel like virgin Astroturf to the little golf cart that is your mind.

” Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of “the CERN girls” to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the “World Wide Web”. I had only a vague idea of what that was, but I scanned some photos on my Mac and FTPed them to Tim’s now famous “info.cern.ch”. How was I to know that I was passing an historical milestone, as the one above was the first picture ever to be clicked on in a web browser! “
You are looking at the VERY FIRST photo ever published on the web! [musiclub.web]
