Calvin and Markov and Jesus Markoving Christ
« on: July 08, 2015, 12:04:57 am »
Calvin and Hobbes: even more ADHD and unpredictable than before. Or: The Bible: even more inscrutable and bizarre than before.

It's a device of Josh Millard's that produces roughly speech balloon sized text bites using Markov chains and a large collection of fan transcribed comics. Those text bites are then inserted into one of a number of the original comics altered to have blank balloons.

The machine itself is found here.

Why do we need another random comic generator? I don't know, but it probably has something to do with Markov chains being cool:

Post fun comics, etcetera. The assorted other Markov doodads on Millard's site probably fit too.

That's the joke. The nonsensicalness makes the few times that you find a relatively coherent and funny one really rewarding.

This one Loud Whispers found is probably the best one. Randomly generated dark humour.
