Dresden Codak, Dreamlike Comic

[kajarainbow]

Continuing in my apparent tradition of posting in intermittent spurts, I'd like to recommend to you fine readers the Dresden Codak webcomic. I enjoy it for its sheer expansiveness of imagination and lustrous art, casually and offhandedly combining advanced physics with whimsy or fantastical adventures. The individual comics range from entertainingly silly to wistful.

There're very few webcomics that feature a fight between two WWII-era German physicists where one of them escapes by employing the very principle he discovered, or lines such as "My heart is nothing more than an engine forged from the remnants of a dead star. You know that." The usual mood is like a strange dream.

It is cousin to A Lesson Is Learned But the Damage is Irreversible. The two even link to each other.

La Hee! I was just going to say that that is my favourite.

Thank you for pointing this out.

The comic deserves to be spread aboot.

Yes, yes, it does. One of my absolute most favorites. Too bad it, like A Lesson is Learned, doesn't update often (indeed, the latter went on hiatus). But that kind of gorgeous genius takes more time and work than the standard daily ditty.

My head is unfinished...
