yesterday i made the most wonderful find on the internet. i was looking around for anything relating to the original print version of superkaylo*, having already looked at every archived comic from the website, and GUESS WHAT! i found (i think) the entire thing. some beautiful soul on cookandbombd shared a link to a mediafire or smth upload of a .cbz file of it, and at first i didn’t get my hopes up because i’ve been burnt before with long-deleted media upload links but. by some wondrous twist of fate, despite the link no longer working, it HAD been archived late last year before it got deleted. and even then i didn’t want to get too excited because archived links don’t always work with this type of thing… but it worked!! i was able to download a .rar file and from there i could extract a .cbz file (a file type i’d never heard of prior to yesterday), which i could *then* convert to pdf AND IT WORKED! AND IT WAS FULLY READABLE! and contained several comics that had been uploaded to the superkaylo website, only in much higher quality because they’d been scanned somewhat recently and not on 1998 CB’s horrible scanner. and it was so so awesome. the comics themselves are nothing special really but its just so cool that i can read it in full. (well, i think it’s in full— 32 pages seems like a decent amount for a little comic book that got sold around casually)

*superkaylo = charlie brooker’s old website from 1998-2000, which was named after a comic book/collection of cartoons he drew and sold a bit during his student days (1992 specifically)
