New Comic of Note
10:38 am, June 22, 2010

You have the twice-in-a-lifetime-so-far opportunity to check out a new comic by Jon Rosenberg — he of Goats fame.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Jon’s work; I even wrote the foreword for the third book in the Infinite Typewriters series. One thing I like about Goats is that it’s dense with imagination, but I can understand how trying to start somewhere in the middle can be a daunting task for just that reason. The aforementioned books are one way to get that Rosenberg goodness with a minimum of confusion, and another way is Jon’s new site.

Scenes From a Multiverse is just what it sounds like, assuming you’re the sort of person who uses the word “multiverse” in casual conversation. And, if you are, Scenes is sure to tickle one or more of your bones. It’s a series of more-or-less one-off gags starring any one of the infinite number of weird and somewhat less weird creatures locked up in Jon’s mind. And, as an added bonus gimmick, there’s an audience participation feature as well; each week you can vote on which multiverse you’d like to see revisited, and if you’re a member of the majority you get your wish. It’s new, it’s fun, and today it incorporates the word “integument.” Check it out.
