The conceit of this being started in 1912 is all part of the art project. I know, it’s a leeetle meta, but it’s not that tough to understand. The influences include Krazy Kat, Calvin & Hobbes, and the work of John Hodgman.

After you’ve read and enjoyed all the cartoons, check out the Zazzle page! My Xmas cards this year were Kitteh and Pip vs. Santa, and I have the new Pip shirt. Was hoping for the calendar, but with only 2 days till Jan, it’s not looking good.

(am in no way affiliated with this strip or ApeLad, just love the work)

Well, at first I was all “huh?”(what’s with LOL in 1910), but it looks and feels so real. And then I was irked, cause I don’t like being tricked. But then (after I followed it back), I felt kind of good because the artist wasn’t mocking the original – s/he was showing us how our responses are, no matter what culture we live in, universally human.

For those of you who don’t get it, these are comics that supposedly date back to the “original” LOLCats of the 1910s. It’s a very clever and very hilarious idea. All the hepcats love it. 23-skidoo.

P.S. to Anon… the wonderful faux-history of the LOL art is a ~joke~ for humorous purposes not for selling purposes. If the TXT-talk in the comics didn’t tip you off, surely Hearst proffering banana shipping statements did? Just sayin’ :-)

Err … I hope nobody has bought any of the stuff being sold by “Ape Man” thinking they were based on real 1912-13 cartoons. Just had a quick flick through his Flickr account and the “cat-oons” are quite obviously modern done in an old-fashioned style. Pity he had to make up the fake the great-grandfather to sell his stuff.
