This is an online comic news mixing tool that I've been working on, and thought people might like to give it a try:
http://dev1.manme.org.uk/~davem/RSScomic_1.2/

It takes RSS feeds from major news sources, chops them up at random and assembles the resultant text into speech bubbles in a comic. The comic illustrations reflect the current latest news, and can be regularly updated to follow with the news. The result is a disjointed comic, where the words and pictures don't quite fit but make up their own story.

I'm interested in networked narratives, particularly stories being constructed from the fabric of the Internet, and the idea of taking live information and re-using it in ways it wasn't intended. I also have a strong interest in comics and political illustrations, and want to combine this to make a sort of political comic that tells the news - live, but also subverts the news.

I'd l love to hear what people think of it, any suggestions would be great.
