Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

Which, by the way, is a very good Pink Floyd tune.

But in this case, I am referring to the title of an episode the webcomic, Delta Thrives. I found this gem . . . quite a few months ago via Warren Ellis's column at Artbomb. It blew my mind back then but I lost the URL. I wound up over at Artbomb this morning, catching up on things and one of Warren's columns references it again, so now I'm posting the link here.

Delta Thrives is a bit esoteric and not quite work safe, but it's a wonder to behold. Not just for the shere drawing skill (all computer generated; Maya, Poser, maybe Bryce, and God knows what else) but for the skill in which it's composed online. If you have a 56K, it takes a good ten minutes to download it all (and it may take one or two tries with the amount of graphics), but it's worth doing because as it downloads you can see how all the graphics are layered. It's a wonderful representation of how you can use the abilities of the Inernet to create comics that can't be done of paper.

Go check it out. And if you like it and want more, hit the main site at http://www.e-sheep.com/
