Unfollowing Indiana

October 11, 2009 Agent X 7 Comments

Don’t you hate it when you try online actions in the real world, and they won’t work?

Sometimes I get mixed up and I end up subconsciously trying to do things that I do all the time online, but in the real world.
At other times, I try to do things on my laptop, which only work on my iPhone.
For example, I was typing a document in Word recently and tried to add a full stop to the end of the sentence by hitting the space bar twice. This is how it works on my iPhone and my subconscious, or muscle memory, or whatever, just decided that was what I needed to do.

I find that I have quite a lot of these little occurences happen to me. Mostly, I just forget about them straight away.
But I know they are there. Haunting me. Mocking me.

I dread the day that I try to leave a conversation at a party or a networking seminar, by looking for the speakers ‘unfollow’ button…

Is it just me or has it happened to you as well?

No Beavers on the Internet

Is this too much wood?

This is just a quick little comic I have done, to add to the site over the weekend.
It forms part of my theme of “Animals on the internet” comics – which, to be honest, I did not realise was even there.

Looking back over my comics, I can now see this theme and I figure I may as well tag these comics so that anyone else interested in that kind of thing, can check them out too.
There are sure to be more animal themed comics in the future, too.

Just a note – I am including FailWhale in this group, as he is a whale and deserves to be with his own kind.

In case you have not seen it already, check out this excellent animation by Mukpuddy Animation, titled “The Stallion”.
This is the first adventure of Edward the Horse and Warren the Rabbit. Starring Pulp Sport’s Bill & Ben.

Superman tries out online justice

Heat-vision and computers do not mix.

Have you ever noticed that many superheros do not use computers as part of there crime fighting activities?

Now wait on comic book nerds (and I can say that, because I am one too…..)
I know there are exceptions, such as Oracle.
Yes, the Batcave has the Bat Computer.
Ok, the Hall of Justice has a supercomputer.
Sure, Cerebro is a massive super computer too….

What I mean is, why don’t they REALLY use them?
They could be getting their own back on the bad guys by flaming them on forums, hacking their bank account details and sending them to Nigeria or just posting their information all over the web to over-expose them so much that they can’t do anythign without getting recognised instantly.

The superheros would then not be destroying buildings during a meta-powered battle, or creating massive secret lairs to operate from and thereby generally being drains to the national economy.

I am putting out a call for the caped crusaders to become more realistic for our modern lives.Continue reading Superman tries out online justice

I did not include trolls in this comic, because they are actually real.

Six Imaginary Creatures

September 6, 2009 Agent X 7 Comments

This comic contains six things that do not exist.

The internet, and modern media in general, has allowed myths and fantasy to flourish, spread and crossover into believed fact like never before in human history.
Sure, there have always been those that believe in the creatures that hide in the shadows. And many would say that despite what you may personally believe, it is unwise to refute the belief in these creatures, as it tempts fate.
After all, they are based in fact somewhere, right?

Even shakespeare added the quote to Hamlet:

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
