Let’s face facts. There are a lot of TV shows and films where the best bit is the title sequence.

In another moment of scheduling genius, ‘The Loneliest Astronauts’ is the second web-strip offering a twist on the ‘mismatched roommates’ concept I’ve recommended in a fortnight.
Steve and Dan are survivors of a lost space exploration mission, stranded on an alien planet with, seemingly, plenty of supplies but no-one to talk to about each other. Which [...]

Bernie Hou’s entirely unofficial webcomic ‘Alien Loves Predator’ is the best use of the two monsters in many years.

I know this is my second architecturally themed entry in a row, but WebUrbanist’s gallery of ghost towns and abandoned cities couldn’t go unmentioned.
If, like me, you take fascination in what happens to lived-in places after humanity moves on, and how more recent abandoned buildings gradually become the ancient ruins that future generations will take [...]

BLDGBLOG is a classic of tangential timewasting: it provides so many nuggets of strangeness that I can wander off for an hour thinking about flooded cities or where a hacked lift could take me, or what the urban landscape would be like if Archigram had ever actually built some walking cities.

Unhappy Hipsters is a great dripfeed of humorous venom to brighten up the working day.

I’m not sure whether Kevin Church is the first person to treat writing webcomics as a career where you can work in a number of different genres with different talent at once, rather than grabbing an over-arching brand name for your gag strip, seizing the URL and then hammering any idea you have into your [...]

If you like comics, and want to use your iPod’s earphones as an innocuous way of frittering away the many, tedious hours of the working day, you could do a lot worse than investigate the archives of the Word Balloon podcast.

Writers Chris Sims and Chad Bowers create the kind of stories a sugared-up nine year old would come out with. A vampire skateboarding detective, a hero who is all the classic monsters at once… in the words of Frasier Crane, the Action Age comics ask ‘if less is more, how much more would more be?’
It’s [...]

Work. It’s everywhere, threatening to consume the lives of those innocents in its path.

Thankfully the Time Waster is here, waging a one man war against productivity, providing recommendations for ways of blowing whole hours on the internet.
