A webcomic from 1827
« on: November 26, 2009, 02:04:22 am »

Well, ok, it wasn't created as a webcomic, but now it is hosted on the web. It's by Rodolphe Töppfer, who can be said to be the first comic book artist, like, fuck*ng ever (this story ended up being published in American newspapers in the beginning of the last century, and it's said to have left its mark there...)

Here it is: The Adventures of M. Vieux Bois

I'm particularly fond of "The hoss cannot move because of exceeding fatness".

Damn, that is eerily close to modern comics that I shamefully enjoy because they seem too delibrately angsty.
