I know it’s been too long since I last posted anything here. The reason for my lag is partially that it’s summer – that’s right… dare draw the curtains and have a look-see (if you’re on the northern hemisphere). It’s also because I’ve had really important stuff to do whenever I was as much as near a computer.
Now on to the entertainment.
I’d like to this time recommend Fly You Fools (FYF), a misanthropic yet funny webcomic. FYF mostly centers around stuff from India, it says, but the great joke is on us all. We all too well recognize all the idiosyncrasies that permeate every “modern” society. From the paradoxes of consumption to the daft demands of authorities, from the pointlessness of mainstream entertainment to the hypocrisy of the whole human species. In FYF’s own words “People are mindless cattle”.
The graphical expression coupled with this particular brand of humor gives FYF a Pythonesque quality. I really enjoyed reading the comics and so should you.

Just visited the website. What crap man! It’s not funny and the graphics are just lazy. Awful recco. Just because it’s Indian doesn’t mean it can make do with school grade PJ humour. And just because it’s like the only Indian webcomic doesn’t make it awesome by default. Sucks!

Hey, thanks for the plug! Would agree on Pretentious Comic Hater’s 2nd point. I don’t think any comedy coming out of India is Pythonesque. That bar is too high…
But hey, it’s not the ONLY Indian webcomic. There’s a whole bunch of them here
Yes the graphics on FyF are lazy… but I can’t draw. And it’s a webcomic, so don’t let graphics stop you.
But glad some people like it, and thanks again for the plug. Hope you subscribed.

The graphics of FYF reminds me of Terry Gilliam’s old work. It also, I just remembered, remind me of Robot Chicken because there’s a lot of copy/paste in it.
Hath the RSS.
