Web Comic Review: Wondermark
As many of you know, I really enjoy web comics. In fact, I might even be a web comic nerd. I’ve occasionally dabbled in comics myself, but found that my burning desire to procrastinate overwhelmed any set schedule. So I turned to komics instead. The beauty of web comics is that no matter how many you follow, there is always a new wonderful comic to discover somewhere out there. Sometimes I stumble upon a comic while browsing comic but I’m often introduced to a new comic through a friend or blog post.
In that vein, I’d like to introduce you to David Malki’s Wondermark. This comic is fiendishly funny. David mixes a delightful steampunk clip-art aesthetic with clever humor based on bizarre juxtapositions, absurd situations and nonsense. This is how I was raised (apart from the steampunk aesthetic), so each one is like a letter from home. Consider #540 In which Love is unrequited.
No one hits every ball out of the park, but Mr. Malki has been hitting more home runs than not for over six years now. Plus, who can resist a piranha-moose hybrid?
Please note that most web comics are not written for children, and Wondermark is aimed at an adult audience. Mostly this means that the humor is over a child’s head but there are some situations and or topics that might not be age appropriate.
Enjoy!
