Cartoon review 1 - Absurd notions
Sep. 22nd, 2005 05:29 pmSee: http://www.absurdnotions.org/page1.html
I decided to collate a list of webcomics I like, or used to like, with a few comments about each. Impossible to sort, I decided to find some favorites and sort them alphabetically.
First is Absurd Notions. Realistic description of the lives of four or five friends living in an aprtment. Warren is the complete sysadmin, occasionally spokesperson for the strip, who I tend to identify with. Isaac is a geek. Jay is an artist and a practical joker. Biff is the nice but abused one. Jag is Jay's girlfriend, and probably the nearest thing to a sane character.
As always with favorite strips I come to like the characters; they eventually start roleplaying and have much player/character humour; much humour comes from naturally funny/sarcastic things said rather than blatant punchlines.
It's basically stopped now, though every so often a new comic appears. But it's well worth reading through the archive. The first few cartoons (linked to) are fairly representative and a good introduction.
Tune in next time to read about angst technology.
