Special, From the Vaults

Some weeks there are just to many good comics to cover them all. Here's a group that missed out on being covered in their own week.

I covered The Dinosaur Whiteboard at the end of May 2015. Here's an interesting self referential version that explains not only the cartoon, but the original, of which it is a variation.

Although the original isn't quite as prone to the ellipsis at the end of frame 1.

I know I say that the the images I used had to be Creative Commons, but CommitStrip's Le stagiaire senior (Senior Trainee) pushed all the right buttons for me.

I have to admire the young intern's ability to hold a smile.

Ever visited Dinosaur Comics? It's a restricted artwork cartoon and every cartoon is the same 6 panels (I gather there have been minor changes over time), but basically it's the same six scenes, repeated over-and over for a dozen years now.

Ryan North, the author of dinosaur comics has produced and sold a Dinosaur comics whiteboard with a better executed version of the same artwork.

Enter David Morgan-Mar who uses one of these whiteboards to create his own version The Dinosaur Whiteboard.

Doing Without

Today's number one is this entry from Breaking Fitt's Law. Unfortunately it was the second-to-last instalment of this webcomic before it quietly went on hiatis.

Number two comes from Diesel Sweeties. There's things we need and things we only think we need. Once you get past Oxygen, Water, and "Pizza" (Complex carbs, fats, a little protein and some vegetables) everything else is just a detail They, of course, understand something similar.
