A squirrel gets pretty much literally drunk off its ass. It's strange to see a squirrel acting in an obviously impaired fashion with no sign of it in its face. Of course a squirrel doesn't have a "face" in that sense, but I just somehow expect it to be all slack-jawed and glassy-eyed.
With a little calibration and some software, a Wii controller, an infrared light pen, and a projection monitor become an interactive whiteboard. I'm not certain just how "low-cost" it really is. Projection monitors are still expensive enough that they keep pretty close tabs on them at work.
Next up is what appears to be a collection of overdubbing parodies done up as a television endlessly switching channels in the Ultra-Bizarro Frequency band.
Via dronon, here's a trailer for The Tale of Despereaux, about a mouse who is so lacking in the natural fear of everything that his fellow mice think he's crazy.
Finally, a short film titled "Growing Pains" was described by someone as a tree versus the singularity. The realism of the extrapolation in the last half-minute of the movie aside, it's a striking illustration of the speed of industrialisation and technological change.
Duostar Racers #1, T.P. Louise and Ashley Wood, IDW:
I was highly intrigued by the impressionistic art style of this comic, but in practice it is so impressionistic that I have a hard time telling what's going on.
The Complete K Chronicles, Keith Knight, Dark Horse:
Hurray, all of The K Chronicles in one volume! I first encountered this strip with the one about proposition 21 (I think it was), as part of the project to reduce crime by vastly extending the class of offences considered felonies. As for the strips in general, for my purposes they're a mostly humorous look at being black in America, but there's lots of other stuff specific to San Francisco, cartooning, and innumerable other items, so I guess it's more accurately a humorous look at being Keith Knight.
Ubu Bubu #1, Jamie Smart, SLG:
It's the beginning of the runaway grossness that continued in issue #2, which I read previously. This makes it clear that Bubu's presence is part of an overt plan to bring about the end of the world.
In other news, my backlog of unread comics has reached apocalyptic proportions.
