WE'RE SO THORSBACK

September 28, 2024 10:15 PM

Øyvind Thorsby, that creator of gloriously weird and weirdly glorious comics full of strange species, decidedly specific spells and gizmos, and lots and lots of farce (previously, previouslier), has begun his seventh comic, My Other Brain is an Idiot (front page currently shows the first of ten pages so far; navigate with the arrow icons). His sixth comic and an updated link to another of his projects are below.

Thorsby's sixth comic was The Evolutions of Homosexuality and Suicide, explaining Thorsby's theories about such. It's better than it sounds.

Thorsby's guest comic/game for Unwinder's Tall Stories can currently be found here.

It's like the author read the Cliffs Notes version of "How Do Humans Behave", and got bored halfway through. But the actual subject matter of the (two) comics (that I read) were pretty good, in the vein of science fiction from that transitional period between the Golden Age, and New Wave SF. Maybe around the 60's and 70's.

The concepts are really neat. The characters are paper dolls put there to illustrate the concepts.
