Funny Pages | Brad Guigar "Evil Inc."
A web-comic I've been reading for a while (and enjoying) has been Brad Guigar's Evil Inc.
It's about a corporation staffed by evil superheroes.
Unfortunately, the site also doesn't have any mechanism for embedding any of the strips, as far as I can tell. So check out the Evil Inc website.
Anyhoo. Mr. Guigar has tried his luck with stand-up comedy.

Arts round-up
A few of the "arts-related" tidbits I've ran across recently that have caught my eye.
Neil Gaiman's work on The Sandman series ranks near the top of graphics-based literature. Good Omens, the book he co-authored with Discworld-creator Terry Pratchet, is one of the funniest books I've ever devoured multiple times. And now Gaiman is giving away his latest, The Graveyard Book, by taping himself reading individual chapters on his book-tour and posting them on his MouseCircus site for young readers. (Wired)
And to follow-up on a story mentioned earlier: Stephen Colbert has won the White House! (In the Marvel Universe.) (Wired) And, like the Chicago Tribune's "Dewey Defeats Truman" gaffe 60 years ago, the Daily Bugle blows it! (Wired)
Staying with the comic theme for another moment, kottke posted some links to maps of the New York City of the Marvel Universe. (WizardUniverse) (NYCmetblogs) (flickr)
Next: some awesome t-shirts for sale at Glennz.
Then check out Edmund McMillen's independent artist product: This is a cry for help. A load of stuff for $10!
And if you figure you've already bought so much stuff you can't get more, check out this post on Swaptree... like ebay, except it's an exchange of goods. (Lifehacker)
On another note... if you think you're old ask yourself this question: Do I dream in colour, or black-and-white? If it's B&W, then you're right, you are old... apparently the television you watched as a child may influence the colour of your dreams. (TelegraphUK)
Speaking of old, here are the definitions of some commonly-used abbreviations, most of which are derived from Latin. (BloggingTips) And another list in the follow-up post. (BloggingTips) Both excellent posts are written by Kevin Muldoon of System0.

Pimp my... Bookcart...?
The web-comic "Unshelved" is about the interaction between the staff and patrons of Mallville Public Library. Every year the creators of this strip hold a contest called "Pimp My Bookcart" and libraries all over the world submit photos of their creations. The sheer number of entries is amazing, and there are some imaginative entries.
If you're "into" libraries or books, definitely subscribe to this web-comic. Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum have created what can only be described as a phenomenon, building an admirable library-themed empire of books and swag.
