Posted at MetaFilter, I had to repost here.

The Electro-Plasmic Hydrocephalic Genre-Fiction Generator is the latest inspired creation of Wondermark‘s David Malki! (exclamation mark his), a slight departure from his usual victorian clip-art comedy (previously) to a wordier bit of satire/inspiration/wackiness/wit/archetyping/talking fish.

Speaking of webcomics and formulas, the "young woman inexplicably transported to a totally weird alternate universe" scenario is being used differently – but successfully masterfully – by THREE different artists: Ramon Perez’s Kukuburi, Eldon Cowgur’s Astray3 and Michael Lee Lunsford’s Supernormal Step (links to the beginnings of the stories… because you gotta). I’m rather surprised the Pirannhamoose has not yet appeared in any of these, especially since Astray3 has featured every other creature you can imagine (or have nightmares about) in its first year.

Meanwhile, Malki! is also co-hosting a weekly talkback-enabled interactive audio podblast with fellow webcomicker Kris Straub, that starts with absurdity and goes out from there…
