Wondermark
September 26th, 2008 | by jg3 |Here’s another comic that I’m surprised hasn’t come up already. It is also another comic that isn’t exclusive to the online realm. It runs widely in several papers, including America’s finest news source, The Onion and many school papers. It has also spawned several printed books and stuff.
It falls, broadly, into the cut-and-paste category of comic. The interesting twist here is that David Malki ! uses 19th century engravings that he pulls from old books and stuff.  He then adds a little editing wizardry mixing them together, often with hilarous results.
Usually, however, the hilarity is just the text.
Another point that contrasts Wondermark from most of the webcomics that grace this space is that there is no continuity. The strips are all one-shots. That means you either laugh (or don’t) every time and then you move on. It also means the strip is ideally suited for newspapers.
The strip has been in production since 2003, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied for a few moments at a time all day.
And I particularly love the byline “An Illustrated Jocularity.”
