Internet comics like "Dinosaur Comics" and "Married to the Sea" have gained overwhelming generational success. Several of these comics also maintain a level of "absurdist" comedy, an approach that very much applies to newly blossoming shows akin to "Flight of the Concords". I found this new website yesterday that combines this approach with a little bit more artistry involved - it's two people, one who takes pictures and another who writes the captions, creating a three panel comic. It's got an interesting tinge to it because of the combination. Check it out at asofterworld.com

Softer World is kind of addicting. I couldn't stop hitting the "back" button. The stills are so casual -- like almost by accident. The hidden phrase is often a downer. I guess the reason I kept hitting it was looking for just a tiny glimmer of hope. But it never came. The site is contradictory, as the foto of the blogger is so laughing, but ultimately the whole thing is pretty sad. Did you ever study 'Peanuts"? That comic strip is ultimately a real downer also.
