For some 'of years now comic strips are having some success, especially on the Internet depopulated. Have been so many sites offering only material of this type.

The thing that struck me most of the cartoons The expressions can give to his characters. These classic images that make you laugh even on their own, estranged from the context:
Someone even thought to animate the cartoons:) Finally, I recently found out that was also released his book that collects all the material, the title speaks volumes: Never Learn anything form history
So Hark! A Vagrant was a very pleasant surprise. Enjoy it:)
Ah! I was forgetting the gay San Francisco!
