Random Ramblings: O-Cast episode 2, and…

A website watch, all in the same entry! Let the wonders never end!

When we left our Greek gods and goddesses last week, Poseidon was struggling to get everyone in line with the idea of “O-Cast”, a would-be viral video documentary series, to bring back the faith. Athena, goddess of wisdom and all-around know-it-all, let him know how she felt about his idea, and he asked if she’s got something better. She replied with a very abrupt “Always”, so let’s see the fruits of her mental labors:

And with that episode of O-Cast set up and (hopefully) enjoyed, let’s get onto the website watching!

This week’s section is going to be devoted to a webcomic I’ve started reading recently that is, in my opinion, brilliant in it’s simplicity: Stickman and Cube.

As it would sound from the title, this comic has two (primary) characters – a stick-figure man, and a cube. Stickman is the brains of the operation, and while both of them are funny, Cube is definitely more of a funny-because-he’s-dumb type.

The cartoonist mostly shies away from any serious storylines (and I’d imagine it’s hard to have much in the way of seriousness with this lack of art), but still manages to be clever with his jokes and spot-on with his delivery of them. Most of the panels have at least gotten a chuckle out of me, and I strongly urge you to check it out. As a favor, I’ll put up the first couple strips here, see if I can get your interest…

Strip #1: “Hello World”
