Wow, the past 12 days have been a whirlwind of change, and I am not talking about comics. It’s incredibly hard to write about anything but the ever-changing world that we live in. It affects the very fabric of reality, and it ripples through space and time. But as in any and every art form, the impact of the current political and social climate is already being seen.
Over the past few months we have seen the influx of protest pieces on social media, from art to music to videos to memes and more. Yes, I know that memes as art is a stretch but they are created as form of expression, which is what art really represents. As artists continue to create political pieces, the fans who rally around them need to how to respond.

Somehow, despite being in the public eye for the last several years, people still kind of love zombies. The Walking Dead is one of the most popular shows on television, while survival horror title Dying Light enjoyed strong sales earlier this year. And if the popularity of the History channel show Vikings is any indication, the general public is starting to come around on the Norse hell raisers as well. So, theoretically, now is as good as time as any to combine the two very different subjects. Apparently Zoink! also agreed with my genius line of thinking, as their latest effort, Zombie Vikings, is the unexpected mash-up of the two.
Borrowing from popular aspects of Norse mythology, Zombie Vikings is very similar in tone to the last release from Zoink!: Stick It To The Man! We begin by seeing Odin, here portrayed as a crazed loon, having his good...

Above you'll find the first comic that artist Bill Watterson has created since he retired Calvin & Hobbes in 1995. It is actually a poster that he created for a documentary film called Stripped. The doc explores the creation of these comic strips and their transition from newspapers to digital. It features interviews with the creators of Garfield, Cathy, For Better or For Worse, The Oatmeal, Penny Arcade, and even Watterson himself, who rarely gives interviews.
Watterson spoke to The Washington Post and explained the poster he did for the movie:
“Given the movie’s title and the fact that there are few things funnier than human nudity, the idea popped into my head largely intact. The film is a big valentine to comics, so I tried to do something really cartoon-y. I had thought of having it colored with off-registered printing dots like newspaper comics, but Dave asked if I’d paint it instead,...

Klaus should really indulge his appetites more.
Welcome back to Celebrity Twitterwatch, where we try and make sense of what the beautiful people are talking about, or at least create a narrative thread more coherent than the plot of the Glee Christmas episode.
Joseph Morgan is a big part of the reason that there are no unwatched episodes of The Vampire Diaries on my DVR, while shows I've loved for years like Supernatural languish for weeks going on months. He proves that it's possible to play a powerful, ancient baddie with an understated, quiet menace. I just wish he spent more time out of his clothes. I can't wait for his brothers to pop up, but for now I'll just go with this image.
I'm not surprised that Dave Salmoni prefers animals to humans in any way. But I think the definition of weird needs to be discussed - are we talking Teddy Bear,...

After Google+, does the world need another online community? Storytree thinks it does and offers a site to help family members tell their favorite tales. "With Facebook and Google Circles, you get a lot of noise going on," a cofounder tells us. "We're focused on the meaningful content."
Storytree is out to solve a problem that's been bothering baby boomers and the elderly. They love to talk on the phone and visit with their younger family members, but they don't feel like they get to often enough. When they do connect, the stories they share aren't preserved-- and sending videos back and forth is cumbersome.
Inspired by these groups, their gripes, and StoryCorps, Matthew Sullivan and Zach Weiner recently launched the Storytree website, a digital online storytelling community for families.
Users create their own "storytrees" and are given the option to either record a story or ask a family member...

I recommended this comic to a friend of mine. She wrote back that her office's content filter blocked it as "tasteless and offensive."
This is an entirely accurate statement about Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. What they fail to mention, however, is that it's also hilarious.
Smbc is a daily single-panel comic, in the vein of an R-rated The Far Side. The humor is primarily based on taking the punchline in a completely different direction than expected. It's not suitable for kids. (Or adults who want any claim to maturity, for that matter.) It's also not suitable for people who are sensitive about sex, death, religion, fetishes, cheesecake, herpes, dolphins, politics, or your mom.
There's a Smbc store, though it's currently closed for renovations and expected to reopen in November.
Notable moments:
The Socratic Method Space Ace The bad pun isn't the punchline. "Agarn, I don't know why everyone says you're so dumb.
