It’s probably pointless to link to specific clever strips of the geektastic Web comic xkcd—it’d be easier to just add a feed posting each day’s strip automatically—but since I’ve got comics on the brain, I figured I’d note that this recent strip is a clever mini-commentary on the way the medium depicts time spatially, a formal feature Alan Moore famously exploited to great thematic effect in Watchmen.

There was a great 4-panel strip on this by Matt Feazell in Scott McCloud’s UNDERSTANDING COMICS. “I’ll just borrow some money from myself in the future!” (using a fishing line to grab a dollar bill from the bottom right panel).

Have you ever read Jason Shiga, Julian? If not, start with “Meanwhile”—the physical version, not the web version, which is like playing tennis without a net. It will rock your world.
