• The Carnival of Satire (#117)

  Posted on Thursday October 1st, 2009 at 06:27 in carnival of satire

  Ah, the blog carnival. A venerable institution in web terms. And a zombie, if you want the truth. Some time ago I instituted a new policy: I will only accept submissions from a blog that was not written by the submitter. This has been massively s...

  You thought there wasn’t going to be another one of these, didn’t you? Well, I admit, between finishing up Marvellous Hairy, and actual paying work, it was touch and go. But there is some great satire here so the show had to go on. Tha...

  Invading The Vintage, originally uploaded by Franco Brambilla. This is a similar notion as the Vintage Ads of Fictional Futures contest we ran last year, but a little more artistic. Franco Brambilla has taken some of his grampa’s old Swiss p...

• Carnival of Satire (#115)

  Well, I have to be honest: the altruistic thing didn’t work out too well. Of all the submissions to this edition of the Carnival of Satire, only two followed the new guidelines. Perhaps they are just too complicated, and I need to rephrase th...

  Welcome to the futuristic edition of the Carnival of Satire, where we take the old carnival form and kit it out with rocket boots, heat rays and robotty goodness. From now on, we’ve changed the carnival submission policy. If you’d like t...

• Carnival of Satire: The Altruism-ing

  Posted on Thursday May 28th, 2009 at 10:12 in carnival of satire

  I’m afraid I’m going to have to delay the Carnival of Satire by a week. There just weren’t enough submissions of bona fide satire in there to make it worthwhile. I’ve also noticed a disturbing trend — most of the submi...

  Welcome to the 112th edition of the Carnival. As you might expect, the economy is on the mind of many of us, though clearly, for some of us, the economy has made us lose our minds: This week’s title graphic includes a bit of Azrainmain’s...

  Number 110. What? That can’t be right, can it? I’ve done this 110 times? But that’s crazy isn’t it? Crazy? Enough questioning; here’s the depth of winter edition: Beezard blows the lid off A Heritage of Hate Mad...
