Holy
bowel movements of Abe Vigoda! What in the name of
Jupiter is this place?
This is the #86/68 website extravaganza! If you
enjoy comics about football, democracy, war, and
bone-breaking fights illustrated through spastic
animated gifs, then you're probably in the closest thing
to the right place as humanly possible.
Where
did this come from?
#86/68 first appeared as an animated .gif file
rampaging across the Internet, tackling all opposition in
an endless loop of end zone fury. From there #86/68 was
quickly embraced as a cultural icon and symbol of
democracy.
After numerous adventures exclusive to
the SomethingAwful.com
Forums, he now finds himself here on this website,
as the subject of regularly published adventures that explore a
variety of themes including patriotism, sacrifice,
philosophy, sports, war, violence, and death. As
expected, this makes for some heavy reading that may not
always go down smoothly, but must be swallowed
regardless.
To name
names, #86/68 was discovered by Rich "Lawtax"
Kyanka and made famous by Zack "Zack Parsons"
Parsons. I simply stole the torch, attempted to burn
them, and then ran away. Fragmaster
had nothing to do with it because he's not cool enough.
Why
is the animation so poor?
I see spastic animated gifs as the standard
medium for illustrating stories in the future. I
believe that one day everything from children's stories to
the Bible will be made whole by a seizure inducing barrage
of poorly animated gifs. Lets face it, text and
static illustrations are no longer a satisfactory means
of delivering information. Modern audiences need
to be captivated, and nothing catches the eye more than
a poorly animated gif. That's why all the
professional webmasters rely on countless animated gifs
to keep their audience entertained and loyal.
I've
spotted a historical inaccuracy!
Some of the historical contexts that #86/68 is
placed in are occasionally embellished for story telling
purposes. In spite of these potential
shortcomings, #86/68 is still a valid teaching tool.
