[Dresden Codak] Weird but wonderful transhumanistish comic
« on: January 13, 2009, 08:21:45 PM »
Does anyone else here follow Dresden Codak?  Sometimes I think I must be one of the few people in the world who get some of the references but lots of other people I know seem to like it too.

One good example strip
'Because ten billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness.'

I read a few of these after seeing it reviewed here, and I'm really going to have to go through the lot, because I like.

In particular I squee'd at this one. By the power of Feynman!

I actually really enjoyed the current comic.  I've probably got a really weird perspective on it since I'd already joked about how after the previous comic in the series that Kimiko would take Bayesian as a prestige class off of Positivist.  :#

Everytime I see this thread title, all I think of is Mayan Prophecies.

This has got to be my favorite strip.  Cuteness triumphs over all!
