Today’s Hump Day issue of the Manhattan User’s Guide featured their monthly “spin around the web”. And that led me to the totally wacky Strindberg & Helium, a set of funny and well-produced Flash animations featuring the notoriously gloomy Swede and his irrepressibly cheerful sidekick Helium. All four episodes are wonderful; my favorite is “In the Park“.

MUG publishes a daily email letter, full of good stuff. It’s Manhattan-oriented, of course, but it always contains something of interest. Well, almost always, which isn’t bad for something that’s free and takes about 15 seconds to read through. As a bonus, each issue features a link to joe’s nyc—another of Joseph Holmes’ fantastic photos.
