Web Comics

Web comics are the reason the internet is not doomed. Here's a few good ones.

Scary Go-round by John Allison is a webcomic about strange goings on in Tackleford. I lived in a town outside Greater Manchester so it is eerily familiar. The "Looks, Brains & Everything" chapter is brilliant. Occasionally features mad scientist Tim Jones, inventor of the time-travelling teapot.

Questionable Content by Jeph Jaques. Slice of 20-somethings life in America plus Pint-Size. Pint-Size is an Anthro-pc, an AI robot with an attitude, so there must be a mad scientist in there somewhere.

Narbonic by Shaenon K. Garrity. Mad scientist Helen Narbon takes on the world. Now finished so you can read the whole thing in the archives, or there's a Director's Cut repeat.

Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio. Agatha Heterodyne lives in a world ravaged and remade by mad scientists (called "Sparks") and is on the road to discover her heritage. Brilliant.

xkcd A webcomic of romance,sarcasm, math, and language. Also sometimes the science is, well, mad.

Sluggy Freelance by Pete Abrams. Vampires, ninjas, witches, aliens, ghosts, demons, unkillable assassins, elves, robots, inflatable weapons, homicidal lop-ear bunnies and mad scientists. Nifty.

Sydney Lights Out

All the people who lit candles when they turned out the lights in Sydney YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT ABOUT CO2!

Latest album: Tracey Thorn - Out Of The Woods

This album from Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn leaves me unmoved. She has a great voice but the melodies here are thin and the songs lack the passion that her singing can carry. Singing 'I get excited You get excited' in a tuneless monotone doesn't get me excited. Maybe this stuff works on the dance floor but I'm a long way from there. 5/10

Latest album: My Friend The Chocolate Cake - Home Improvements

I guess the worst thing about MFTCC is that their sound doesn't change much between albums. But that sound is great listening. Putting violin and cello into pop song arrangements works as well as it ever did and the instrumentals are cracking good. David Bridie's voice can be a bit samey but it works with the title song and the more upbeat tunes. 7.5/10
