The
comics by
The Oatmeal
We live
in the age of Internet. The World Wide Web is an awfully big place
to navigate your way around. In between working your way through
the research and networking, spend some time on The Oatmeal (www.theoatmeal.com)
because it is one website that will have you hooked to its absurd
quizzes, hilarious comics and cartoons.
The brainchild of Matthew Inman, a 27-year-old web designer, The
Oatmeal stays relevant to our times, making comics and cartoons
and quizzes that tackle other uber-famous web networking sites
such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. Some of its most viewed
comics include 'How to suck at Facebook', 'Facebook + MySpace
= Facespace' et al.
But that's not all. It even includes spoofs on the super-famous
Twilight series, Avatar fever (Avatar & Aliens are the same
goddamn movie'), Justin Bieber etc.
The Oatmeal is actually coming out as a book now because its popularity
has been on the rise, despite it being an Internet-only project
when it began roughly fourteen months ago.
Some are just plain ol' fun like a quiz on 'How many hungry weasels
could your body feed' or '10 things you need to stop tweeting
about'. For the sake of humour or just catching a break in between
working, give The Oatmeal a read. As far as Internet projects
go, this is one of the better ones, as entertaining and delightful
as Texts from Last Night.
