Well, I thought it was funny

Image: I cross my arms at the girl watching TV in the armchair, and say "I thought you said that show was crap"
"What can I say? It's Hippotising!" replies the girl-turned-hippo that is in the armchair.

No artist's notes for this one. It just came to me and I drew it.

The Web Standards

Image: Frank-the-mouse glues a poster to a wall using a long-handled paint roller. The poster is divided like a web page layout, each area of the layout contains a sample of the HTML code to generate it.
Two weeks ago, I got a commission to design a website.
What? you do that too?
Oh, hush up.

I learned to do web pages back in the year 2000, when everyone thought frames and Flash™ would rule the web. The only other widely-known method to structure a web page was putting all the text in a table, and using its columns to put your stuff where you wanted it to be.

In January 2009, in one of my courses, we were assigned to create a website as part of a project, and asked to make sure the website was compliant with the web standards. This was the first time I had ever heard there was such a thing!
