Then you should bookmark it. Despite the layout, I'm pretty sure it's a blog.

Yeah, I noticed the /blog in the URL, which is why I carefully scoured the page for a "page 2" or "more" or something link. And bookmarked indeed! Even there aren't more forthcoming, I can handily link to it as need be. :)

Love these! What kind of blog doesn't allow comments? Hopefully Wilhelm will see the links though, and know he's appreciated.

By the way, Wilhelm has another similarly enigmatic website here: http://www.dollardreadful.com/
