These comics were pretty much the kickingest rad thing, I'm just going to say.

Pope John Paul II is still my favorite though :O

Hey, I've been lurking for a while, but I just had to comment and say that I absolutely love these. I think my favorite is Agnes MacPhail, just because of that old man, but my art student-y self is also rather fond of the Duchamp one as well.

I am a huge fan of the Marcel Duchamp piece.

I really look forward to your comics. Thanks for making them.

God, these are pure gold.

That peasant? Who thinks about naked ladies? All the time? I AM RIGHT THERE WITH HIM.

Basically, this started my day off with giggles.

Looking over all of these again (and the new ones for the first time) I have discovered the main reason I love your drawings so much: the facial expressions! They are pretty much fantastic.

That CBC one was super awesome! I laughed! OUT LOUD! Ha HA!

The rest are all great too!
Wooo!

(Also, David Suzuki is so totally my secret boyfriend. I mean, secret from him, that is. I don't want to end up with a restraining order or anything. So please don't tell him about the love.... but, damn!)

Pure Gold.
The Pope is definitely my all-time favourite of these, but they're all pretty damn awesome.

and y'know, I keep wanting to try to do remakes of these in Illustrator (I have limited skills at best, but it'd be funny)... and then I just have to shake my head and admit that I'd never get the facial expressions to be half as awesome.

Just read through all the comics - these are adorable! Also, I adore Tesla, too. Who doesn't love a mad scientist?

Here, a present:

It's a song about Nikola Tesla. It's not very good. Sorry about the format. Bad present.

the Tesla one is my favourite! I think it's because of the uppity women and because there's bloomers involved. haha. the Chaucer one is also awesome.

Your comic is one of my favorites! :) I found you via the SA forums a bit ago and it's hard to pick which of this batch made me laugh the most because there are so many funny ones, you are utterly fantastic. ♥
