la vie d'un garçon » Web Clips http://www.jacob-cook.net Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:52:35 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Hourly Comic http://www.jacob-cook.net/2010/01/hourly-comic/ http://www.jacob-cook.net/2010/01/hourly-comic/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:16:48 +0000 Jake http://www.jacob-cook.net/?p=205 Everyday when I come back from work I open a few tabs: one for Facebook, one for Reddit, one for my Google Reader – and one for Hourly Comics. The sometimes funny and sometimes profound webcomic is a spin-off of the more widely known Pictures for Sad Children. PFSC has been my favourite for a long time; mostly for its dark humour and slightly different approach from most webcomics I’ve seen. Hourly Comics is updated by the author every hour until February 1st, so check it out while it’s still around. Otherwise, see PFSC and lemme know what you think. It’s not for everyone (especially not if you’re religiously attached to the Sunday newspaper-type of comics), so keep that in mind.

Even the most critical, in keeping ourselves healthy in the first place. We need to cut the strings behind this “grassroots” *cough cough* “corporate” movement.
