Had a nice long chat with Andy Konky Kru on the phone last night. After our talk I checked my feeds and was delighted to see his Evolution of Speechballoons (he insists it’s one word but that’s probably because he’s German) visual essay had been picked up by Waxy who, thanks to the tradition of via, got it from Kempa. This’ll be interesting, I thought to myself. Sure enough the link later popped up on Drawn and then, today, on Boing Boing. It’s currently on del.icio.us/popular thanks to 155 262 people and Technorati has 41 links.
The irony, if that’s the right word (I never know these days), of this is Andy’s currently in Germany nursing an infected toenail with no internet access so he’s got no idea this is going on. I might call him tomorrow.
Still, considering his site has been active for a good 5 years now (I forget exactly when we gave him the bugpowder.com/andy directory) it’s about bloody time.
For context, see this post I wrote about the monster than is Konky Kru last year.
(Jez, can we get stats for that page or what?)
Dunno – I’ll have a look when I get back from my camping trip.
