Should You be Laughing at This?
For Christmas my brother picked me up a copy of Hugleikur Dagsson's Should You be Laughing at This?
and Is this Supposed to be Funny?
cartoons.
Although I had flicked through them, it wasn't until earlier this week that I took time to go through them properly. My God, they're funny. Dark, politically incorrect, laugh out loud humour.
Hugleikur Dagsson is a genius. I'm still at a loss as to how he manages to convey such expression is his (often faceless) stick figures.
I'd thoroughly recommend picking up a copy of any of his books.

Notes
- Nice Nike Football ad from Madonna's better half.
- Top marks for the realigned BBC News website, bringing it more in line with the lovely new, jQuery driven, BBC homepage.
Beautiful full-screen image browsing served up by the snazzy PicLens plug-in. Impressive, though practicality is debatable.- Yahoo shifts to search the
semantic web
. Potentially huge, and very welcome news for usstandards nuts
. 
The Coke Zero Game. Latest masterpiece from the infuriatingly talented North Kingdom.
It's sites like the Red Bull Flight Lab that remind you what Flash is for. Brilliant application and an awful lot of fun.- Rejoice! The new Indiana Jones trailer has finally made an appearance. Can't wait.
- Help the Email Standards Project get Google's attention in the hope they will finally improve Gmail's awful rendering of HTML email.
- Awesome panoramic view of the Airbus A380 cockpit interior. This is the super-future.
- Excellent article from accessibility supremo Roger Johansson on how inappropriate, or overuse, of HTML features meant to aid accessibility can actually have the opposite effect.

I’m ashamed to say I laughed, especially at the cover. That’s not good!
It reminds me a bit of the Modern Toss characters, the loose style of the artwork is in the same vein as Mr. Tourette, Master Signwriter. It’s worth looking up if you didn’t see the series a couple of years ago on Channel 4 (there was a new series this year too). Patchy, but when it’s funny, it’s funny.

Don’t be ashamed Simon – we’re all sick and perverted deep down :-)
