Release the Ottomans!!! - Logan Darklighter - 05-21-2011 So I'm going through the archives of El Goonish Shive and discovered the parallel strip that Dan has created that's more overtly humor based. It's called EGS: NP (El Goonish Shive: News Paper. As in - he's sticking to the format of a daily comic as it would be presented in a newspaper.) Anyway, so basic explanation for where I found the following is out of the way. Or as Bill Cosby used to say - I told you that story so that I could tell you this one:  Perhaps it's partially the time of night (morning) that I encountered this strip. Perhaps it's the inherent Pythonesque nature of the silliness. Perhaps it's what Gryphon and the late great Derek Bacon once referred to as the "everything is funny after 3 AM" rule. Or perhaps, as an artist, I identify with the situation. Perhaps it just doesn't matter.  But the following strip UTTERLY DESTROYED ME and LITERALLY HAD ME ROLLING ON THE FLOOR!!!   Good lord, I'm STILL LAUGHING!   - Evil Midnight Lurker - 05-21-2011 Prepare for the return of the OTTOMAN EMPIRE! --Sam "I was raised by furniture!" - Black Aeronaut - 05-22-2011 It kinda reminds me of the traveling trunk from the Discworld books. - Wiregeek - 05-23-2011 There's something wrong inside Shive's head, there truly is. And I love it. "No can brain today. Want cheezeburger." From NGE: Nobody Dies, by Gregg Landsman http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5579457/1/NGE_Nobody_Dies
