Via kisrael, I found
this link to Buttercup Festival, an odd
little web comic. The artwork is fantastic in that ink and watercolor kind
of way, but the actual comic itself is rather sureal. The main character
may dress like Death, and carry a scythe like Death, but he really isn't
Death. The artist also does another web comic, Green Evening Stories
where the artwork is even
more fantastic in that ink and watercolor kind of way than Buttercup
Festival.
Following
some links I came across a well researched article on the history
of web comics. Quite interested, and little did I realize that Dr.
Fun was not the first Internet based comic (web based,
possibly, but not Internet-only).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
