Okay, so this isn't exactly a book, but it's one of the coolest things I've seen. It's basically 3102 xkcd frames that make a sort of graphic novel or animation. It's beautifully made, in the classic xkcd style, of course, and it's also a good story! Randall Munroe is awesome.
Je to neuvěřitelně krásný příběh v animaci.Zaslouží si pozornost.
This was fascinating.No compelling art style, interesting layout, beautiful colour palette or whatever else I usually exect from any comic. But compelling nonetheless.The minuscule changes in the frames, the slow progression, the view words exchanged between our two protagonists - enchanting almost in a way.
sort of avant-garde but still a cohesive story. The format is very interesting- cross between animation and comic strip. Left a feeling of being slightly unfinished, though I don't know why, and has an almost nostalgic feel. Definitely want to (read?) (look at it?) again, but it's somewhat lengthy so I don't know when I'll get around to it. Link to the whole thing (at your own pace) : http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/
I remember originally seeing this on xkcd when it first started to be released in 2013—a new frame updating every 30 (and later 60) minutes. I remember visiting the site several times those first few days, seeing the community gather the frames on other sites to allow people to catch up with what they missed. I didn't stick with the comic while it slowly revealed itself over the next few months, but when I saw xkcd: Time listed under Randall Munroe's books while reviewing his How To, I decided t...
A light-hearted caricature, hand picked from the frequently updated, web comic series. With the cleverly hinted annotations, great for giggles.Randall Munroe seems to be a somewhat shy, yet still refreshengly honest and funny guy, with his unique perspective on oh so many subjects (check out the presentation he did for Google on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJOS0...).
"The sea can't just make more of itself forever.""It can do whatever it wants. It's the sea.""There must be a reason. There's a reason for everything.""Yeah. But it's not always a good reason."This is a wonderful little story and beautifully drawn, and it touches on so many of my little interests so well. (It reminded me powerfully of the game Journey in places, and that's a very good thing.) Unfortunately, it literally just stops mid story and pretends it's over. Still, not a bad use of an hour...
A TED de Scott McCloud, "The Visual Magic of Comics", já tem 11 anos, contudo nunca é tarde para inovar no sentido daquilo que McCloud tentou apontar como potencial de inovação da banda desenhada online. Por outro lado, não deixa de ser estimulante, ainda que meramente coincidente, que a bd XKCD tenha sido iniciada também nesse mesmo ano, 2005. Mas se venho aqui hoje falar de XKCD, não é por nenhuma das datas acima, mas é antes porque estava a analisar a listagem de vencedores do Hugo Award para...
This one is so cool!!!!!!!!!!! in a very profound way I must say.
That is so cool!
"-Where do you think we are?-I don't know. But I bet we can figure it out!"Plain simple and beautiful. Curiosity might have killed the cat but it gave humans the power of knowledge.
Awesome night transition.
i want to cry. that was beautiful. read it here: http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/
how funny that this is here and review-able. It's awesome though
Really fun! I remember seeing the few frames of this on the XKCD website but not enough had been published by that point for me to get too involved in the story.But now that it's complete, it's a great story!
cross between animation and comic
A story about curiosity and the adventure to satiate that curiosity.I binge read but I can imagine the curiosity people might be feeling when they got one pane every day. Only the curiosity could've driven them to come back for more.Thus the curiosity of the characters and the curiosity of the reader become one to become an experience.As a story, it's nothing great but I guess that was the point, wasn't it?
That was...different. Not bad, just different.2015 Book Bingo: Hugo award winner
I've read Time many times (ha), and every time I'm more impressed. Unique format (somewhere between graphic novel and animation), art that's beautiful in its simplicity, fascinating story, thoughtful lines about curiosity and learning. Highly recommended, and the whole thing can be found online for free!
This work is in a strange format that borders between graphic novel and animation. It's very unique method of storytelling and I imagine it would have been quite exciting following the project as it was released frame by frame. However, reading/watching all of Time in one sitting amplifies a rather weak plot and stretches that fought to keep my interest. I wouldn't say this work is bad, however if I was to sum it up in one word it would be 'neat'; sort of cool but you're not missing out on a lot...
