Maybe one can gleam from the title of this post, but it is quite late, and as such, my brain is scrambling to put two words together, let alone cogent sentences capable of communicating thoughts to the readers of such text walls as mine. My offering to the less informed of the internet today is as follows: A slice of life comic that not only parallels the cartoonists actual life, but takes turns into the absolute absurd and back again, without even batting an eye, as if to say, "Oh that? That was Tuesday." This is a comic that blends the life of a grown up geek with such topics as orbital space stations, mech suits, and interdimensional Volvos. Strangely enough, it works. Maybe it's time I name this comic, which is Real Life, written and drawn by Greg Dean, and also one of the growing herd of comics to update every day, sans weekends. Content usually follows the life of Greg and his wife Liz, as they live out their lives, dealing with drama such as design school, WOW guilds, and friends building interdimensional wormholes in space. Here is a recent update, to get you in the swing of things:
Falling into the habit of showing how much a particular webcartoonist has progressed, here is this, dredged up from Sir Dean's archives:
Wow. Ten years is a long time, huh? This is understandable, seeing as Dean uses digital art to draw his comic, Illustrator I believe, but I'm not even sure that was around ten years ago, and if it was, then this is a record of how much further imaging technology has advanced in only ten years.
The bottom line is that if you have a few minutes each day, where you find yourself wondering what to do, why not wander through the Real Life archives? It will surely be worth your while.
