This rather peculiar magic act is reminiscent of something achieved by the “hyperspatial cinctures” in a certain script I once wrote.
Found at the “Flexible, Invisible” Japanese-language blog which now, sadly, appears to be defunct.
We have a few days before we start the publication of Bridget O’Brian’s sexy adventure in Chapter Two of Study Abroad, and I’ve noticed that we’re closing in on Halloween, which mean that it’s time for our Second Annual Squick or Squee week (or a little less) here at Erotic Mad Science: a time to celebrate images that might leave audience opinion a little bit…divided?
Our first entry this year is from our old friend and interview partner Dr. Robo, who came up with this panel for King of Hooter County p. 52.

The medium-resolution images that made the whole-volume PDF version of The Apsinthion Protocol compiled nicely into a .mobi file, so now you can read it all on your Kindle in only one file. You can do a speedy, direct download (about 35MB) by clicking on the image below:
And it is also available as a torrent, for those of you who would prefer that.
The current version is black and white only, and is optimized for the Kindle. The program I use to create these versions — Calibre — seems to have a lot of e-book creation functionality, so if you have a different device or would like me to attempt a color version, please feel free to contact me with your request and I’ll be happy to see what I can do for you.
EroticMadSci — that’s me, now.
For a long time I resisted, or was just plain lazy, given that social networking seems like sort of the last thing a mad scientist ought to be engaged in. (Aren’t we supposed to be secretive types? Monomaniacally working in our dungeon laboratories?) But hey, I have all this material I want to publicize, and social networks seem to be the way things are done here in 2011. And I’m obliged to live in 2011 (at least until I finish my time machine, that is). So now I’ve got a twitter account, and will try to be diligent about tweeting. You can see a widget in the right-hand side-bar.
I promise to try to be both informative and entertaining. Tell your friends!
…are now available for direct download as well as torrents.
The response to the direct download edition of the whole Apsinthion Protocol chapter has been very gratifying. Indeed, it has been so gratifying that I have been persuaded to upgrade the storage and bandwidth available on the SendSpace account that I’ve been using to make direct downloads of the PDF versions of the individual chapters available. With bandwidth to burn (for now, anyway), I’ve decided to make the high-resolution CBZ (comic book archive) files available via direct download.
CBZ is a handy format for people who really care about comics, and since these are high-resolution versions of the images, they’re recommended for people who might, for example, want to produce their own paper versions of The Apsinthion Protocol at home (which, of course, I encourage you to do). The CBZ files will probably open in any application that can open .zip files, but they are probably best viewed in a dedicated comic book reader, of which several are available more or less for free.
You can access the files via the main Tales of Gnosis College download page, or via the handy little table below by clicking on the cover images. Enjoy!
Reading Nicholson Baker‘s House of Holes: A Book of Raunch has been on my “yeah, I should get to that” list for a while now, but Susie Bright‘s charming interview with Baker on this week’s edition of In Bed with Susie Bright got me motivated to actually get a-reading. I have not been disappointed: this is the work of an erotic master. It is infeasible for me to do justice to the weird dream-logic the governs the fictional setting that makes up the interconnected stories that make up the book, but they are unified around the topos in the title, a “House of Holes,” an imagined place of orgiastic gratification that you get to via portals which might be, well, almost any kind of hole.
And that makes possible the following, which should give you a taste of the book, in the chapter “Cardell Has a Sherry Cobbler,” in which Cardell, an urban planner longing for erotic release, takes a woman named Jackie to a bar. Drinks are had, specifically sherry cobblers drunk through straws. After some merriment, Sherry announces
“…I’m just going to make an excursion to the House of Holes, where I can be a total tramp for a day or two. They let you do what you want there, you know.”
…
Her face began to blur and liquify, and then she poured herself down into the straw and was gone.
Cardell picked up the straw and looked through it. There was no blockage. “Jackie?” he said. The bartender stood watching him, holding a glass.
“What just happened?” Cardell said.
“Your lady friend seems to have been sucked into that straw,” the bartender said.
“That’s what I think, too,” Cardell said.
The bartender shrugged. “It happens, man.”
Squee! And that incident is perhaps not the strangest in that chapter alone…
Helga Kupler is a businesswoman in a most unusual line of work, as one of our four adventuresses is about to find out in the upcoming Tale of Gnosis College Study Abroad. Eine ganz strenge und geschäftsmäßige frau hast du gezeichnet, Lon! was my response to first seeing this drawing, because I’m weird.
Because clearly this design has…designs. On our Gnosis women, no less.

Here we have Dark Vanessa‘s illustration from the fourth Study Abroad story, of Iris Brockman in…a giant fishtank? What’s she doing there?
I’m not sure I really like what this setup seems to imply, but you’ll have to read the story to find out what it actually means…

Emil Strangeways, Ph.D., (did I get his name from here or here? is the principal mad scientist skulking in the background of Study Abroad, and Lon sure succeeded in making him look disturbed.
