The strongest drink

Homoeopathic Espresso? Careful not to dilute it any more or  really bad things may happen. [Irregular Webcomic]

I love science and hate bullshit so for me, at least, you can't get too  harsh on homoeopathy.

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.

2 shopping days to christmas

Meanwhile on a secret archipelago somewhere in the Pacific, in their debut on this blog Poorly Drawn Lines reveals the secret of our islands.

Dinosaur Killer

So what killed the dinosaurs? According to the patient in Callous comics it wasn't what you thought.

Hitting the moon with hammers

Nasa's plans were weird, if you ignored the politics that is. Addressing the science, sort of.

Clean skin

From Callous, you may think your skin is clean, but scrub as you like you'll never get rid of the bacteria. Even if you get rid of the surface ones, your inner bits probably have more bacteria than human cells. This works because bacteria are a lot smaller.

Telepathic coffee stealing aliens

Another Diesel Sweeties, and another coffee pot runs dry.  What can I say, I like Diesel Sweeties and I like coffee.

Driving in Lebanon

The start of March was a bit lean, but does include my first entry from  Sareen Akharjalian's ongoing strip Ink on the Side about middle class life in Lebanon. It's funny seeing how so many of her concerns are shared with "the West" while some are manifestly issues of her homeland.

Anyone who's ever used the Auckland Motorway system will appreciate this view of the Lebanese motorway system.

That first cup of coffee

I have to admit that I'm a great fan of coffee and not just for the caffeine. When I was a child and long before I drank coffee the grocery shops had large grinders where people selected the coffee they liked and then ground the beans. When I accompanied Mum to the grocers I loved standing by those machines and breathing the coffee aroma.

Wrong Hands gets the first place again on the last day of January 2014 for the caffeine causality loop.

Last Minute Gifts

 John Atkinson's Wrong Hands finishes the year with this guide to last minute gifts.

It could almost work if you combines the slow cooker the origami ball and enough blenders :)

Alphabet of the obsolete

John Atkinson's Wrong Hands published this little memoir of past technologies from the 20th century.

 As I lived through the last 40 years of the 20th century most of these were familiar to me.

Winning the game

J. L. Westover's Mr Lovenstein made its first appearance in my saved collection this week with this sporting entry.

Every competitor knows this but the press are too dumb to understand what constitutes winning at sport so they insist on asking the dumb questions.

Last kiss for Ant-man

Moving along into November 2013 it's obvious that I discovered John Lustig's "Last Kiss"  around this time.  I saved several of these strips, in their "Go Comics" incarnation. Moving over to his own site much later. Also of note were Chaos Life and The System.
