Wombat Fiction
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Wombat Fiction
No, not lies about our favorite marsupial, just a very interesting web comic whose protagonist happens to be a wombat. Recommended: Digger, by Ursula Vernon.

Great link, Z! That's going to be my new excuse line whenever someone says I'm acting weird -- "Sometimes while tunneling I come across gases and old pockets of dead air. It bubbles up through the dirt and sends me loopy." :D:

Re: Wombat Fiction
I am really not sure how you managed to come across that. Do you Google "Wombat Comic" and "Wallaby Comic" from time to time?
Or just "Wombat Comic"?

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

And it was a rare enough event that they made a movie about it. And even that was 64 years ago. Like the prosecution in the Anthony trial, I rest my case!BRWombat wrote:For a while, yes. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039628/combined

Re: Wombat Fiction
Ursula Vernon is the BOMB. She is one of my favorite working artists.
I have a little teeny painting of hers of an axolotl. It's made of cute.
