the nice thing about this theory is that you get to look back on all recorded history and think "man, all this isn't that interesting? the future must be AMAZING."
The haps: I finished Asterios Polyp last night and was really impressed by it. It's a great comic all on its own, but the way it explores and exploits the medium is what really sells it. Funny and charming and thoroughly enjoyable! It's humorously narrated by Asterios' affable twin brother, who died in childbirth. How is that not awesome?
