Lemmings Comics from NotFunny/Nichtlustig

[Prob Lem]

Just making a quick post about this as I can't see any other posts about it...

There's a rather amusing web-comic, http://www.notfunny.com/" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">NotFunny (or, http://www.nichtlustig.de/" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">NichtLustig, in its original German), which consists of one-panel gags depicting all sorts of bizarre scenarios, and is notable for its odd sense of humour. One recurring group of characters are the lemmings - naturally, they're of no relation to "ours", but I suspect that the weird humour will be appreciated by Lemmings fans, somehow. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />

It seems that the NotFunny lemmings are a popular bunch, as they have quite a bit of merchandise http://www.nichtlustig-shop.de/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Lemming&x=0&y=0" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">available from the official NichtLustig shop (http://i.imgur.com/W5y5KLI.jpg" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">the plushes are rather cute, it must be said http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" /> ), and have even had http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/54735/lemming-mafia" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">a board game based on them. Speaking as a collector of such merchandise and as a Lemmings fan, I'm envious - I can only wish that the Lemmings games were in a situation to see this sort of merchandising!

Anyway, below are links to all of the lemmings comics currently on the English version of the site;

And here are all of the ones currently on the German site, of which there are a lot more (note that some of the early ones are repeated in the English version, but as you can see, those ones were actually re-drawn for the translation);

I hope you all had a laugh at some of these. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" /> If you did, be sure to check out the rest of the site(s), because chances are if you found these funny, you'll like the other, non-lemmingy comics, too.

Nice. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" class="smiley" /> Looking at the lemmings one did got a little monotonous since apparently they seem to be all about the suicidal tendency bit, but I suppose it's kind of impossible to do any better for the generic animal lemming rather than the game one.  This would've been great with the official lemmings from Lemmings 2--the 12 tribes and 50+ skills should make for an awesome variety of humorous scenarios.

[Lemika]

Yeah, the Lemmings-related strips to get a bit repetitive all in a row like that, but they're fairly humorous. I like NichtLustig in general, although of course not every strip happens to be funny to me.

A strip based on Lemmings II could be pretty fun! I remember we had one person here a while back who did some skill-based Lemming cartoons, and some of them were pretty funny, but that was a fairly long time ago.
