HandRooster take on captchas…

handrooster bot cartoon

So I found this cartoon and HandRooster and thought “that’s pretty funny, reminds me of xkcd a bit though”, then I looked at some more of their cartoons and found this one which references that very fact.

They have a point about the stick men I suppose, although Hugleikur Dagsson makes his stick men unique…

HandRooster is created by a husband and wife team, Mike and Steph Adams. They have fun doing it and don’t care too much if some people hate their cartoons or think they’re similar to xkcd.

So more power to them, although to be honest the one above was the only one I found truly funny.

BifSniff cartoons, now with added Flickr…

Bif, of I, Bificus fame, who wrote all the cartoons in the our cartoons section has put a selection of the cartoons on Flickr.

Worth checking out as he has picked some really good ones – several of my favourites, including what is quite possibly my all time favourite ‘A Contentious Claim‘.

Nice to think the cartoons will get exposed to a new audience.

An Irish Gaping Void from Hell with an American name…

American Hell

Popping up on my blog-radar these days is American Hell. Gaping Void comparisons are unavoidable – even if there are considerable differences – if Gaping Void is too acerbic for you, American hell might be more your style.

Above is my favourite American Hell cartoon, depicting the degree to which our obsession with blogging can affect our ability to relate to the world outside our computers… as Homer Simpson would say, ‘it’s funny coz it’s true’.

American Hell is worth keeping an eye on, it’s good now and I get the feeling its developing into something really strong.

One criticism I have of the site is that there is no ‘About’ page – a quick search reveals that the author maintains IrishKC also, where you can find details of his other work and biographical details. For some reason IrishKC links to American Hell but American Hell does not seem to link to IrishKC. For those who couldn’t be arsed doing a quick search it might be a good idea!
