And then I discovered the mother lode: Gary Larson. Continue reading
Cyberia 8: As Seen On MTV!
.MP3 files and bootleg mixes were becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the Cyberia staple. This edition, too blatantly followed the typical style of a crappy, cheesy, tacky, funny, cartoonish, and childish compilation of the musical flavours of the “current … Continue reading
BBS News: LAUGHING MATTER
For those of you into poking fun at the lesser-fortunate and for those with a warped sense of humour, please note the availability of File Areas 776 to 780… a host, and certainly wide selection, of assorted Cartoon-, Humour-, Satire-, … Continue reading
