The universe brings me a gift. I share it.

[elfs]

At first, I thought to keep this secret to myself, a treasure trove to mine for ideas and scenes, dialogue and snippets. That is, after all, one of the things that writers do. We hope that what we find is fresh and interesting (I winced this morning when I read Iain Banks in The Algebraist quote the whole "interesting times" quote).

But I can't. The webcomic A Miracle of Science is too good, Benjamin is too cool, Caprice is too wonderful to not share. Read each page carefully: there are little jokes scattered about this graphic novel that are absolutely hilarious. The themes and ideas of Caprice's post-humanism are so well handled I'm in awe.

I could (and should) also advocate for Jett's Frakkin' Toasters, but it has a built-in base of Battlestar Galactica fans. I think Frakkin' Toasters is funny and sometimes hilarious ("Awwwwww!!!!"), but it has over 500 external sites linking to it.

Miracle of Science has less than 40. It deserves more. A lot more. Give it your attention. Hate me when you realize it's not finished and it's currently waiting on a cliff hanger. Send them encouraging noises. Experience SRMD for yourself.

There has to be a better word than "hate" for this sort of situation.

Thanks to you, I found a new comic, I liked it, and I spent several hours reading up on. And since it's in progress, I was able to read lots of it all at once.

And then I hit present-day. And... there isn't any more till Monday.

So, yeah. I hate it when that happens.

On the other hand - now I have one more comic to read ;)

Thanks!
