a comic about kennedy from an alternate universe. wha

hey kids,
it's 3:30am and i'm going thru the typical things that people go thru at 3:05am.
and as i was surfing around various other webcomic thignies, i came across a comic that made me go WTF several times over.

i decided that every other friday... or something... i shall plug a comic that strikes my fancy.

now, i know every other webcomic also does this, but i decided to just announce my doing so to add some hype and whatnot. in fact, i'll probably do this on days other than friday, but i figure i might as well make this seem semi-official, right?

anyway, where was i... oh.. yea.

this comic (the one linked below. not the comics on my site) might be deemed NWS aka NOT WORK SAFE.
i'm just being cautious in case someone is working in an environment where people have problems with pictures of tastefully drawn naked chicks and whatnot.
i personally don't have a problem, but i've known people to get fired for less.
so i'm just warning, that is all.
mature readers. etc. ok, enough of that disclaimer.

today's comic is called the antique white house.
i can't really describe it, so i'll just quote a good friend of mine after i linked it.

Mikre (2:59:43 AM): haha what the fuck
Mikre (3:02:43 AM): this is weird
Mikre (3:05:25 AM): hahahahah weird, man
Mikre (3:10:55 AM): weeeeeeeeird


yup. it's weird.
i have no clue what's going on, but it's really friggin' awesome.
it's got kennedy, and marilyn monroe, and an elf... and a native american... and naked elves... i think.

this is why i love the internet.

the strip's doing quite well too.
it's even been published as books.

my german heritage is proud of this strip.
wait... or is the author is from france?
i don't know.
well, it won a german comic award, so i'll still take the point.

i don't understand what it's exactly about... even after reading them several hundred times.
here's an excerpt of the description from the author.

JFK is a good president, and a good husband - or at least he tries. But it isn't always easy when you have a lot of political adversaries such as the notorious Fidel Castro, the prude Russian Czar, and countless other rivals at home; as well as a gang of spouses that can leave one with a serious headache if things don't go as expected. A man normally can barely handle one wife - let alone four!


yup.
weird.
but not in a bad way.

you can also order tshirts, a mug, and a note book that features:
"JFK on his flying sweeper steels the hat of Vice Johnson." (sic)

yup. you gotta see it to believe it.

Diana Kennedy, thank you.

i love this strip and i don't even know why.

another update (for my comic) up tomorrow.
more suprises too.
take care.

edit:
added a tidbit about a flying sweeper.


Comments/Threats/Monkey Brains:
Hi Theo,

Thank you so much for being caught by my comic ;-) I am pretty sure that when you follow the story until its end, you will be at home in the World of Antique House and call the "normal" reality "weird", because it is. :-) And if it does not happen after the first story, it will be so after the seccond. Or the third.

Gee, as for the nudity, I already DID a lot of censoring, in order to not get burned by American audience! In the French Original, JFK does not wear that towel on his....well, natural beauty, and the girl in foreground does not wear a top.

If there are any special questions, please feel free to post them. I intend to build a FAQ and need to know what Questions need to be answered.

But YOU are in the right place to talk about crazyiness! Ninja Penguins, Robot-headed Kids, Dinosaurs hanging on UFO's and Cowboys who love their Lamps aren't what I would call "every-day stuff". Add it to my favorites. :-)


Well, I am actually French AND German. I come from a mulitinational family, we also have a Swiss and a Peruan Side.
Glad to read you are from German descendence. Speek any German?

Keep on your good work!

Diana K.
 
Ja, ich spreche ein wenig.
Aussi, un peu de Français.

I can see, what you mean by "normal" but it's still very "weird" to me, but dont get me wrong. I love that. It's a great concept and I'm glad i discovered it.:)
It's good "weird". Really. :)

As you mentioned, I love "the weird" and my strip thrives on it. I fully admit that,

Please dont take offense to these comments. That's just my perception, but maybe I will come to see it as normal soon. ;)

As for the nudity, yes, I agree, it would be considered tame to me, but I was just being cautious in case certain people wouldn't find it to be tame here. I really don't see the big deal, but like you said, it is a different audience in America.

I really wouldn't worry about it. I've seen far more explicit stuff in other places.

Thanks for the kind words, and I wish your site and strip continued success!

Now I really want to read the uncensored version...
 
Theo, I taked no offense in NO way. I know exactly what you mean by "weird" :)

And besides, I am not of the touchy, easily offended.

@Anonymous: You can see the uncensored panel here:
