ORCUSVILLE – A webstrip for gamers, geeks, and gods

Today I’m going to plug a buddy of mine’s webstrip: ORCUSVILLE!!

Starring the arch-demon baron duke dude fiend from literal Hell, Lord Orcus, and his one secretary, Velia; his lone torturer, Vis, who’s also a lawyer and eternal demon of arbitrary retribution; the only torturee of Orcus’ domain, named Victor, forever strapped spread-eagle to a wooden block and suffering (in-between witicisms and/or pleas for mercy); and finally the unforgettable Doctor A. Thoth, the pan-dimensional Chaos Theory specialist of all the known multiverse!

The webstrip is updated near-daily, usually riffing on gamer-related humor, or just geek-related humor in general. Por ejemlpo:

And:

Pretty funny, n’est ce pas? Even better, Lord Orcus himself sometimes steps out from behind the black HTML’d border of his own webstrip to interview comics pros in a Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast style, such as his latest chat (read: ridiculous harrasment of) superstar artist Carmilla d’Errico, of Nightmares & Fairy Tales fame as well as her latest little diddy, Burn (see images below).

AWWWWW! Don’t Orcus and Carmilla make a sweet ol’ couple?

So go read ORCUSVILLE!!! There’s a TON more stuff on the site (it’s quite comprehensive). Written by Steve Saunders and art by Julio Falkenhagen and Freedom Drudge and, hey, for those of you who read the gods-beautiful awesome FICTION CLEMENS mini from Ape earlier this year, Orcus is co-written by that book’s very author, Josh Wagner! Ah, yes, sometimes life can be so syrupy sweet… –Dave B.
