Happy Ivot #2

Ah, I love the random minis from Quimby’s with no indication when they were made. The listed website for this is dead, which is a shame as this is a collection of one page strips, perfect for easy consumption on a functioning website. I posted all the links I could find up there, as this really is searching out for those with a bit of free time. That cover image only deals with one of the stories in here, other stories include running a bus with the power of smell, game shows ruining the economy, suing the makers of muskets, how the Loch Ness monster is actually an owl, how the Austin Texas music scene collapsed, a study showing no decline in ugly people, what to do once you’ve made a clone of yourself, the difficult life of a courtroom artist, the President demanding a new contract, and how serial killers are actually stupid, among many other strips. Almost all of these are well thought out and at least mildly amusing if not downright hilarious, and the man has a knack of nailing the absurd facial expressions of his characters. Which makes it all a damned shame that this doesn’t appear to be an active strip as of 1/31/08, but what can you do? Here’s hoping somebody reads this, gets in touch with the man and motivates him to start putting these things together again. $2, if you can find it…
