oxfordhackerI am an inveterate hoarder, so part of the point of this NaBloPoMo exercise is to force me to trawl through my archive of 'things I might blog about one day' and actually do something with them (and then move them to my 'things I have blogged about' archive. How I wish I was joking...) While so doing, I found this IM conversation I had with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tinyjo literally years ago:
Sadly I never did take my plan any further, or I would be an internet millionaire paying someone else to write this post while me andtinyjo shared a jacuzzi with Charlie's Angels. However, it occurs to me that I could adapt this blog to serve a similar purpose to the one suggested above. So with no further ado, and in no particular order:
Kate Beaton
Kate draws history. Also, fat ponies and conversations with her younger self.
On LJ:beatonna
What's so good about it: The dialogue and the expressions. Also: it's educational!
Look:
Nedroid
Nedroid draws the adventures of Reginald (a bird) and Bearato (a potato-shaped bear. Or possibly a bear/potato hybrid). Also, robots and dinosaurs. Sometimes together!
On LJ:nedroidcomics
What's so good about it: The dialogue and the expressions. Also: occasional beautifully colourful drawings of melancholy robots.
Look:
Hey, Pais
Paisley is cat who draws a journal comic.
On LJ:heypais
What's so good about it: It's a comic drawn by a cat! You can tell because it's cute, funny, and utterly narcissistic.
Look:
Jeremy Dennis
Jeremy writes a weekly strip about her life, sometimes in gritty black and white, sometimes in gorgeous colour, sometimes about work, sometimes about dreams, often with birds in.
On LJ:jrd_tws_rss
What's so good about it: It's stylistically diverse, but always gorgeously evocative.
Look:
Wonderella
Wonderella's a superheroine who regularly saves the world, occasionally deliberately.
On LJ:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
wonderella_rss
What's so good about it: Wonderella's sarcastic, callous, arrogant and lazy, and let's face it: so would you be if you had super-powers.
Look:
So, there are some things that I like and perhaps some comments as to why. Please share your opinions...

TinyJo says:
I like the flow chart :)
OxfordSlacker says:
Indeed.
OxfordSlacker says:
And, as he claims, it's basically all you need to know.
TinyJo says:
Yup
OxfordSlacker says:
Anyway, that's all.
TinyJo says:
I see :)
OxfordSlacker says:
I should find some way of sharing these links I like with a wider audience...
OxfordSlacker says:
Maybe so that anyone who wanted could see the sort of things I liked.
TinyJo says:
If only there was somewhere on the internet you could post them with comments
OxfordSlacker says:
And they could do the same for me.
OxfordSlacker says:
I like this idea.
TinyJo says:
Sounds good
OxfordSlacker says:
BACK OFF, I'M PATENTING IT!
TinyJo says:
OK then :)
TinyJo says:
I'm happy to be a lowly peon working on implementation
OxfordSlacker says:
I'll call it...

OxfordSlacker says:
I hope that URL hasn't already been taken.
TinyJo says:
I was just wondering that
TinyJo says:
It seems so obvious
OxfordSlacker says:
Well, see you later. I'm off to start a NEW CRAZE!!!!
TinyJo says:
Have fun :)
OxfordSlacker says:
Love you.
TinyJo says:
Me too
TinyJo says:
Love you, I mean
TinyJo says:
<3
OxfordSlacker says:
Before you learn to love yourself, you can never love anybody else.
TinyJo says:
And on that pearl of wisdom...
OxfordSlacker says:
I admit, it's not original.
TinyJo says:
Well, I can reassure you that I'm doing fine on both counts
OxfordSlacker says:
I'm quoting one of the great philosophers of our times.
TinyJo says:
dinosaur?
OxfordSlacker says:
Not far off. Madonna.
TinyJo says:
Ah, of course
