Going Medieval: The Bayeux Tapestry Meme

By prawn1 Thursday March 11, 2010

If you liked the Joseph Ducreux/Archaic Rap meme, you might enjoy the Bayeux Tapestry meme. Created sometime in the late 11th century, the Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth panel some 70 metres long and tells the story about the Norman conquest of England that happened in the year 1066.

That was then. This is now and as is commonplace with the Internet, the tapestry has been bastardized with modern pop culture references and other popular Internet memes. For your enjoyment, we pick 10 of our favourites from this medieval meme. Find them after ye olde jump.

WTTF

You really know things are heading in the right direction when a webcomic describes itself as being “forged by the evaporated remains of hope” and “tempered in pools of disillusion, and served in a bowl of snot.”

Welcome to the Future (WTTF) is pretty darn funny/stupid/rude and has come a long way from its beginnings in 2007 when no one really cared. Have a look at some of the comics after the jump.

Axe Cop: I’ll Chop Your Head Off!

By prawn1 Friday February 5, 2010

0 Comments

An axe-wielding, moustachioed cop teams up with another cop who possesses a flute. Flute cop then unexpectedly turns into a dinosaur soldier, and the crime-fighting duo decides to rid the world of preposterous enemies, like Pretzel Head, who literally has a pretzel for a head. You’d think that the ideas come straight out of a child’s mind. And you’d be right. Comic book artist Ethan Nicolle was playing teams up with his 5-year old brother Malachai, to put the creative imaginings of his little brother onto paper. The results are absurd, badass, and so very awesome.

There are currently six episodes chronicling the adventures of Axe Cop. See them at http://axecop.com.

Also be sure to check out Comics Alliance for an interview with the creators, and follow Axe Cop on Twitter.

Death’s Funny Side: The 2009 Darwin Awards

Death’s Funny Side: The 2009 Darwin Awards

Normally I don’t like to dwell on death but it’s that time of year to dish out awards to the lucky few who have extinguished themselves by the most silliest means. Started in 1985, The Darwin Awards have sought to praise the people who “ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion”. Naturally all the awards are posthumous.

Last year saw it’s fair share of stupidity, and the 2009 Darwin Awards committee have sifted through the nominees and picked a winner (or loser). I have picked a couple of my favourites – find them after the jump.

The Western Nostril

I honestly have no idea how I came about this, but a Google blog search led me to Moral Fibre so they’ll get the hat tip for this one.

The Western Nostril is a home-grown comic strip produced by brothers Alex Latimer and Patrick Latimer. I would tell you more about it but rumour is that a great selection of free fried food is available in our staff canteen, and if you know me, you’ll know that food comes before anything. So I’ll just say The Western Nostril is clever and quirky in both its humour and visual style, and that you should have a look at some of comics after the jump.

Emo Super Heroes

What do emo kids use as birth control? Their personalities. Clearly I didn’t write that joke, it’s actually funny. It however shows the extent of my knowledge on all things “emo”.

Now, artist JSalvador wondered what super heroes would be like if they were emo and sketched our their tortured thoughts. Check out his “Super Emo Friends” series after the jump.

We Are Douchebags: Ridicicrunkulous!

The douchebags have had it up to their popped collars and are uniting in a stand against the hateful name-calling. Under the banner of “Douchebag Solidarity,” these bastards are intent on taking back the word and turning a negative into a positive, after all douchebags are people too. Note that the video is NSFW, unless you’re a douchebag.

Techno Tuesday

Today has not been a great day. It started off with unadulterated excitement as I contemplated playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves tonight, but those happy thoughts soon turned to disappointment when I found out a shipping delay by a certain distributor would result in me only picking up my copy tomorrow. Now I’m completely apathetic about the situation. I guess that’s a good indication of how my feelings are so easily ruled by modern technology.

Graphic designer/illustrator Andy Rementer knows a thing or two about the influence of technology on our world, and in his Techno Tuesday comic, he takes a funny look at that. See some of comics after the jump.

If you’re a fan of vinyl toys and LEGO, I postulate that you have just jizzed in your pants or soon will. Created by Pixar animator and obvious LEGO fan Angus MacLane, the CubeDude Lego Icons series features over 120 charming miniature representations of dudes from movies and TV to cartoons and comics. The characters are instantly recognizable and so very awesome. See a very small selection after the jump.

Dean Fraser is an artist with an interesting side project, where he draws all kinds of characters from TV shows and movies as if they were on the Simpsons. In his “Lost Week” series that he started back in May, Fraser drew one Simpsonized Lost character a day, for seven days. Have a look at some of them after the jump.
