You don’t want to go among mad people…

One of my favorite online comic strips is ending.

Narbonic features mad science, mutated gerbils, heroic forensic linguists, and psychotic interns with access to high explosives. Is it any wonder that I love it so?

It’s sad to see it come to an end, and yet there is an up side.

I haven’t been able to refer people to Narbonic for a while because any time someone gets referred to a comic, they usually skip to the very beginning of the archives and read forward from there to catch up on it. Narbonic, however, has been a Modern Tales comic for a while. This meant that the day’s strip was free, but all of the archives were behind a pay wall. With the series winding down, however, Shaenon K. Garrity has decided to make the archives freely available once more.

So, please, enjoy delicious ‘Narbonic.’ Happy trails to one of the greatest strips ever written, and here’s hoping we hear a lot more from Garrity.

Edit: It appears that with the changing times, Modern Tales has changed, as well. Most of the site is now free and ad-supported, although you can still subscribe to get rid of the ads. Interesting…
