While drawing this I felt inspired by the incredible surreal comics of Tori Miki (Miki Bird), in particular a book a picked up on a trip to Japan in the mid 90’s: “Any Place but Here vol. 2”. Being entirely free from text it was probably the only book in the shop I could have understood completely — except that some of the jokes still elude me! Recently I’ve spotted more of his work on Amazon.
Reality Reality™. You saw it here first.
25th May is Towel Day, in honour of Douglas Adams, a hoopy frood who nevertheless often mislaid his towel.
I would like to preempt any complaints about violations of the laws of physics by pointing out that (1) in Invisibulia those laws are somewhat different (and indeed we know that photons need follow only a very relaxed set of Maxwell’s equations, who knows how space-time might or might not interact with magnetism); and (2) this is a comic.
Wishing a merry bah humbug to you all.
I still can’t decide whether the unfortunate Invisibulean not quite appearing in today’s strip is wearing spectacles or not.
