I just saw on Boing Boing that George Orwell’s novel 1984 is being done on the web as a web comic. I checked it out and it is pretty well done so far. I read 1984 for the first time a couple years ago on Project Gutenberg and really enjoyed that novel. 1984 is the only book I can remember reading that really got to me emotionally. Anyhow, check out the comic and let me know if you think it is faithful to the book.
Check back here later for a larger blog post, possibly a “What if Monday” post. It’s Monday and I’m having trouble forming complete thoughts.

It’s nice of you to mention the project Gutenberg, I got to hear their talk at the HOPE number six conference last year and talked to them about making this comic available in their database. I’ve yet to submit it, all the wait rests on my shoulders, but as soon as I fix a few typos and *gulp* mistakes, I’ll make it available. I’ve also got a french version and am talking about getting it translated into german also!

Freddy, thanks for checking out my site. Great work with the comic. I think it perfectly captures the feel of the book.
I love Project Gutenberg and have read many classics there. That would be great if your comic was available on their site. Good luck!
