Friday Odds and Ends
Way, way back in the deep recesses of the horrifying guilt-mountain that is my Inbox, I found an old email from one Michelangelo Cicerone forwarding the news of a very cool Historic Tale Construction Kit, which is essentially a Create Your Own Bayeux Tapestry tool. Give it a try if you’re so inclined.
On the night table: Top Shelf’s excellent alternative manga collection AX; Mario and Gilbert Hernandez’s good-old-fashioned twisted comic book adventure Citizen Rex; and Moto Hagio’s lyrical Drunken Dream from Fantagraphics.
To satisfy your weekly Greek webcomic quota, check out the handsomely-drawn Mused by Kostas Kiriakakis.
And finally, here’s an insidious video that’ll burrow its way into your skull forever, courtesy of Warren Ellis. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Have a great weekend.
I’ll see your insidious Czech video and raise you this:

A former English professor at the college I went to (who has been known to use parts of Understanding Comics in class) is the one who digitized the Bayeux Tapestry.
Cool! It’s a small world. ^^
Oh yeah, The Video. You haunted us with that one on Twitter the other day… I couldn’t stop watching the guy with the Muppet arms… must resist following the link…
