The Bayeux tapestry is up and scrollable. I had no idea it was so long and narrow. It's "Like the mother of all comic books," says the incomparable Lars Walker.
I'm just delighted over it, actually. The illustrations crack me up, especially with the Latin which is mostly quite manageable ("Hic portatur corpus Eadvvardi Regis," and sure enough, there's a bunch of dudes porting the aforementioned regal corpus).
Possibly I have a warped and morbid sense of humor. Seriously though, this is awesome.
