As it happens the story it's part of crosses many of the other genres in the webcomic.<BR/><BR/>Oh, heck, <A HREF="http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/comic.php?current=2054&theme=10&dir=next5" REL="nofollow">start about here</A>.<BR/><BR/>The TARDIS comes in a few strips in.<BR/><BR/>Or if you want to go back to the very start of the Pirates theme, <A HREF="http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/comic.php?current=718&theme=10&dir=first5" REL="nofollow">try this</A>.<BR/><BR/>And on the other hand, if you want to just read <I>all</I> of the comics (David has done well over 2000 comics - I've been reading it since a few days after he first started) - you should go <A HREF="http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/comic.php?current=5&dir=next5" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>It starts off with just a couple of themes, and then he progressively adds genres one by one.<BR/><BR/>For me, the annotations are a highlight. For example, in his most recent annotations, he <A HREF="http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/comic.php?current=2200&dir=next5" REL="nofollow">discussed</A> cliches (briefly), black holes, whether animals go to heaven*, and how soundtracks are recorded on movie film.<BR/><BR/>David has a PhD in astronomy, so when he discusses things like black holes, he knows his stuff - but even when he's on home turf, he keeps it as simple as possible while (generally) still delivering solid content.<BR/><BR/>*(he's an <A HREF="http://irregularwebcomic.net/comic.php?current=2049&theme=6&dir=prev5" REL="nofollow">atheist</A>, but regularly discusses religious questions)Efriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526031804261484547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237013510406351701.post-21646351883944909822009-02-05T13:48:00.000+11:002009-02-05T13:48:00.000+11:00Well done.
