The Infinite Corpse

As I was researching about the game The Exquisite Corpse, I stumbled on The Infinite Corpse online collaborative comic, where instead of dissecting a character with different segments in the 1920’s French Surrealist parlor game, the  comic takes its idea from The Narrative Corpse book put out by RAW in the 90s.

Here’s a bit more about the Infinite Corpse:

[quote]In The Narrative Corpse, 69 cartoonists drew 3 panels after another each only seeing the 3 before them. The Infinite Corpse picked up the story right where The Narrative Corpse left off, except instead of the character “Sticky” in that book, we have “Corpsey.” Picture him as Sticky with all of his flesh rotted off. ButThe Infinite Corpse is not a book, and will never be a printed book, because of the second inspiration; Scott McCloud’s idea “the infinite canvas.” The idea that an online comic does not have to obey any conventional page restrictions. Many webcomics could conceivably find a home in a printed book. The Infinite Corpse is meant to be at home online with no boundaries, and grow like a balloon filling up with stories like twine. It’s a giant beautiful surreal artist-based choose-your-own-adventure story![/quote]

The Infinite Corpse is a brilliant idea, and I’d suggest anyone who is interested to go ahead and contribute!
