Found this truly odd thing on the Web thanks to a link from Penny Arcade. Is it a web comic or some kind of web art? On a fairly regular basis, the artist will take 4 or 5 short phrases sent to him by readers and make a one-panel drawing based on each one. The drawing style is very basic and compelling, but what's really amazing is the "writing" that goes between the original phrase and the artist's finished scene. explodingdog will sometimes make you laugh, and sometimes make you cry; a mark of great skill. It's a fascinating zone of uber-creativity found between the borders of more commonplace art. It's has been happening since this January, so the archive is up to thousands of pictures already; I tend to like the more recent stuff over the first ones, although I've found a few of my favorite jems in January's pages nonetheless.
