Reader Art and Weekly Linksplode!

Keegan Mykris of the comic Guinea-Tech.com sent me this fraktastic rendition of “Godspeed, You Fancy Bastard.”

That’s fucking awesome (if not a little bittersweet since I couldn’t do something that simple and elegant if I had a gun to my head).

Onto Linksplosion!

Oh Em Gee

This is exactly the best thing I’ve ever seen for any reason. Name something better. See? You can’t.

Very special thanks to reader, Storvik, for making this.

Does this qualify as fan art?

Probably not because I don’t think the person that drew it ever actually saw the comic. Here’s the deal: I made a comic that illustrated what Wikipedia means to me (link to hi-res version). A nice person called DPDarkPrimus posted a link to it on a scifi forum.

Another nice person called Dalton replied:

Nothing makes my day more than a dude dressed up as George Washington, riding a velociraptor and wielding Lion-O’s sword, while a giant robot battles a tank in the background.

A fantasical badass called havokeff did an interpretation of the comic that looked like this:

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen. It puts my original to shame. If you know havokeff, please extend my heartfelt thanks for making my day.
