“On June 17th, every year, [this] family goes through a private ritual: [they] photograph [them]selves to stop a fleeting moment, the arrow of time passing by.” I’ve wanted to do something like, everyday, for one year. But this family’s scope surpasses.

One of the most unique and engrossing online comics I’ve ever read, “about a boy who wakes up in a telephone booth which has been mysteriously sealed in an envelope of concrete.

The most popular online animation at the moment, the Kerry/Bush parody.
