there is more Intrepideers coming.
I don't like web comics because I love paper, and I don't like reading comics on a screen. also most web comics suck, the option to use color for no additional charge seems to makes people do some very ugly things with color. the fact that it costs nothing pretty much to do web comics really seems to leave to some really bad shit going up on the web. even when xeroxing the shittiest zine in the world. on some subconcious level the person had to decide that this content was worth 20 cent a print and a trip to kinkos. and little decision what kind of paper, what color paper, color or not, what size. all that adds in reading experience.
that kind of quality control or decision making just seems to be not present in most web comics I've seen. it's just too instantaneous and seems like barf.
that said Body world is fucking great. I've read other really good web comics and if done right web comics they can be great. I'm still a paper fetishist at heart though.
I don't know if Gondry is doing more, but he did this one comic at least. I loved eternal sunshine, be kind rewind and science of sleep were not quite as good.
I've never seen block party, I should watch it.

To Have & To Hold

Much of that first paragraph applies to all the Internet. Too easy...too much crap...put out with very little thought. That being said, I concur. I don't understand why anyone would ever would want to buy an eBook. Good (and sorta weird) to see some webcomics getting printed.

Just started reading BODY WORLD. We should totally try and play a game of Dieball this spring/summer.

much of what I said also applies to my spelling on the internet. all barf in one click.
