In this episode, Chris and Russ take talk about building cartoons from the inside out as well every geometrically inclined geeks favorite book, Flatland.
The cartoonist of Chris' fancy is in fact "Bill Plimptom":http://www.plymptoons.com
The classic book Flatland was written by Edwin A. Abbott in 1884 and is availiable in dead trees at amazon or you can download it for free.
You can find all kinds of interesting stuff at the Library Of Congress site.
You can find a picture of Lincoln at Gettysburg here
There are all too many pictures of the Civil War dead, for example here (not for the faint of heart).
A much more fun vision of life after death is, of course, Night Of The Living Dead
You can also find Kubrick's classic 2001 here.

AG08: Where Does Inspiration Come From?
Download Episode 8
Russ and Chis talk about the use of a blunt object in coming up with some inspiration. Inspired by this inspiring article by Thursday Bram.
As usual, Russ' mind wonders back to the Wright Brothers and programming languages. Russ' current favorite new programming language is Clojure.
Chris is, of course, more of a Photoshop and Illustrator kind of guy.
Take a look a look at those ancient cave paintings: They really are art.
You can see Shepard Fairey's Obama poster on wikipedia and also read about the related intellectual property issues. The original Obama photo was taken by Mannie Garcia and according to wikipedia, it is actually Fairey who has brought legal action over the copyright issues.
It was actually Aaron Sorkin who said that good writers borrow but that great writers steal. We regret having to violate the spirit of the quote by crediting its source.
You can find Pride And Prejudice Pride And Prejudice or here, while the zombie enhanced version is at here. Russ has written Design Patterns In Ruby, but sadly there is no zombieful version yet.
The film that Chris was trying to think of was almost certainly Dusk Till Dawn.
Thanks to Thursday for this Friday's pod cast.
