Insane Oklahoma Cowboy
Overcompensating is a just plain fun comic. I cannot even begin to describe the depth of creativity and random references to pop cultural phenomena. It flows without flowing; with no discernable plot it keeps moving in what appears to be a direction. Characters continually change outfits and occasionally realities. Best story line Chaupacabra at http://www.overcompensating.com/ And sometimes it really makes you think.

Fun with Brains
I like to think of Rocket Boom as the “English” Daily Show. It Provides information deemed “Un-News worthy” by the regular media. However the stories are interesting and often useful in understanding our brave new world.

Silly Natives
Stranded on the coast of Jamaica, the explorers were running out of food and faced with increasingly hostile local inhabitants who were refusing to provide them with any more supplies.
Columbus, looking at an astronomical almanac compiled by a German mathematician, realised that a total eclipse of the Moon would occur on February 29, 1504.
He called the native leaders and warned them if they did not cooperate, he would make the Moon disappear from the sky the following night.
The warning, of course, came true, prompting the terrified people to beg Columbus to restore the Moon -- which he did, in return for as much food as his men needed. He and the crew were rescued on June 29, 1504.
