Slog - Comments on House of Pancakes http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/house_of_pancakes If you've ever read Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves and found yourself unimpressed by its obnoxious Blair Witch-with-a-Microsoft-Word-draw-on-application-gone-wild feel, this cartoon is for you. Here's a tiny excerpt: I wish this cartoon was 25 pages long. (Thanks to Slog tipper Jesse.)...

I don't know, I kinda liked the book, and I think the idea of this comic is funnier than its actual execution.

House of Leaves bored me to tears.

With all due, that funnie, though funny, is simply no match for Dr. Tongue's Evil House Of Pancakes.

The structure is only challenging if you obsess over it; I would choose to read the footnotes (or not) based on whether I wanted to. The story itself = cool.

The album his sister (Poe) put out is basically a musical version of the book and alot easier to understand.
