Ran across a fun new comic online. Well, new for me, it's actually been going two years now. It's called Atomic Laundromat as follows David, the non-super powered son of one of the greatest heroes of recent history and a former despotic empress (they become trapped in a pocket universe for several months during a battle, and upon emerging David's grandfather told his father, "You got my daughter pregnant? You're either marrying her or dying."). He's not upset to be the sole unpowered child of the family, true heroism comes from within after all, not from powers or a cape. And besides, someone has to be there to clean the costumes of the super-powered.

As the title suggests, a fair amount of the comic takes place in David's atomic powered laundromat. Where he is aided by his transforming robot (made from a washing machine of course). There's the love interest, who has no super powers (though she wants them very much) unless maybe you count super-lawyering. A powerful psychic who asks for a job at the laundromat. The duck that was part a bartered payment before David stopped accepting those.

Recent storylines include his younger sister's Sweet 16 birthday party (Who as a the child who is visibly showing alien heritage has been chosen as the heir to her mother's throne) and his father's facing a trial.

Oh. I gave two titles up there, didn't I? This comic is available in English as Atomic Laundromat and in Spanish as Super Lavandería.

Which is handy for someone who's trying to learn Spanish on their own. :) (And it's released under a creative commons license that would even allow potentially sharing any graphical flashcards made from it so long as they were offered on the same terms and had proper attribution)

From last week: Sandy returns to the shop to discover a certain young girl is visiting again. The girl actually shows up a few strips earlier, but if I keep going back I'll end up linking to the first page. :)

Then we finally discover the girl's name! And for those who didn't catch the previous storylines in which the girl appeared, you now know that she did not realize what she was in for the first time she showed up.

And finally today's page (As soon as it is no longer the newest page, use this link) the newish girl is given a rule from Sandy that I am not certain Doc would support. "Not a toy? What do you mean those aren't toys? Sure the ATF, DOD, and Homeland Security complain whenever we pull them out, but they complain about all the fun toys." Interestingly it looks like the girl agrees. I think she's going to fit in just fine.

Happened upon a link to this story about the headaches smart weapons could cause if they become too smart.

Smart Weapons

It's the story of a group of Goblins who decide to take player classes so they can eventually defend their clan from adventurers. Or course gaining character levels will require doing some adventuring. Much like OotS there are jokes about D&D rules and oddities. Here we have two guards commenting on economic absurdities of the Players Handbook price lists. (As for the goblin hidden under the cart at the bottom of the page, he's sneaking into the city on a quest to do a good deed.)

Found via nekoewen's LJ. A Japanese Death Note parody.

Have you ever wondered what the opening credits to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya would look like if the people who did Cowboy Bebop's credits got the job? Me neither. But then I saw this, and I have to say I like it.




What?

Bed?

Guess I ought to try sleeping tonight, no?

Boston anime fan creates an AMV with his reaction to the city's recent civic paranoia. Said AMV then wins the comedy catagory in at Anime Boston 2007.

This is a NSFW video, but it is funny. The Effects of Drugs and Alcohol on Spiders, which can be viewed as a media player video or flash video. "In the 1960s, Dr. Peter Witt gave spiders various kinds of drugs and alcohol to observe the effects on their webs. The results were pretty interesting."

Sora's spoon is too big.

Stupid, but funny. Why yes, I am often easily amused. :}
