Rice Boy

For the most part, I feel like I've got the Internet down--not technically, but culturally. I'm hip to all the cool memes. I read Boingboing, Fark, Metafilter, and Slashdot with varying levels of regularity.

Yet, every so often a new thing heaves into view, and I learn it's been around for a while, and I knew Jack-minus about its existence.

Enter Rice Boy. This is the latest thing that makes me feel strange and my brain juices fizz. It's an epic story about the savior of a fantastic world and his adventures and supporting cast.

Been happening since April 2006, but I only learned of it two days ago. I was absorbed. Read the whole thing in one sitting, despite pressing freelance obligations.

Creator, Evan Dahm says it started, "as an exercise in surrealism, and has evolved into a wandering psychedelic epic."

I can't say for sure you'll like it. But if you like the kinds of things I like, you'll love it.
