There’s a new online episodic comic, called The Basic Virus, which I think looks promising. With its plot of robot uprising, it reminds me of the sadly aborted Blue Lily from the early ’90s, or even our own neoWobblies, BCP’s shadowy “creators,” a group of disgruntled data anarchists and cyborganic rabble rising up against the 21st century Man.
The Basic Virus is an outgrowth of a series of agitprop posters creator Joe Alterio did in 2004. There are two episodes online so far. You can also download them to your iPod, which is kind of cool. It’s even mostly readable on a Nano (I had a hard time with a few balloons), and it looks gorgeous. I’ll definitely be subscribing to the feed and getting future episodes.
This item came to us by way of the new bot blog, Suicide Bots, which is awesome. s1m0n3 has posted some really cool stuff. I hope she keeps it up.
