Whenever I'm a little bored in the office, I go on a Cartoon break...
just hunt around the net for time-transcending strips like Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes etc. And sometimes trawling for newer, more intelligent sounding ones.
XKCD (google it, I'm too lazy to link it for you)
plus this strip I found very recently on this site (is it funny today? no I'm not asking you, that's the name)
Looks like a modern day version of Calvin and Hobbes, except that both characters are animals and the "Hobbes"-esque character (a guy called Utahraptor) tends to speak more than his Bill Watterson counterpart. Also, the drawings are the same for every single strip, which is interesting because the character expressions pretty much make sense (or are laughable) for every dialogue in every different strip
thats all I have to say...
I have to get back to work now!

ReplyDeleteAs you can see, all I do in my free time online is read web comics. :) They are the new funny pages. (It's true: newspapers are headed to the mortuary)
@yes..but in my case, most of this has to be done rather secretly...
ReplyDeletestill, i think m rediscovering an old passion, albeit in a modern form.
and i wudnt say that i get all the jokes in the "intelligent" comics...some of them are quite eye-opening at times i say
Try them. I <3 XKCD but it's just the beginning (and can be rather emo at times). Right now the one I'm REALLY digging is Least I Could Do. But it's definitely NSFW (not safe for work) on some occassions, so watch out. :)
ReplyDelete@ yes i really need to....esp since ive been pulled up by managers here for some prev posts on departmental workings..
ReplyDeleteimagine what would happen if they found out i was going thru politically incorrect cartoons...
the horror!
