Fun hack! I created Excel art version of Browserling's comic. I wrote a script that takes each cartoon and sets Excel cell's width, height and background color to match cartoon.
Examples:
comic.browserling.com/hobbit.xls
comic.browserling.com/extra-question.xls
comic.browserling.com/dinosaurs.xls
comic.browserling.com/extra-robots.xls
Every cartoon is now available in this format. Just append .xls
to cartoon's URL.
