If you guys haven't read this yet, I really recommend it. This is the most recent page, and this is the main page (and, at the moment, they look identical when you read them from the top.) Basically, Ryan Q North (the creator of Dinosaur Comics) discovered a novelisation of Back to the Future that was written before the movie came out. More than that, it looks like it was written by a pretty lackluster author. Whether a legitimately bad author, or just under a kind of curse that seems to haunt the writers of novelisations everywhere, Gipe has written an awful book (especially when in comparison to such a fantastic movie.) So, Ryan decided to create a tumblr blog that combs over this book one or two pages at a time, showing us just how awful, and in many cases downright bizarre, the book version is. It's a rare thing: a textual riffing that's done really, really well. Seriousloy, it's better than it sounds: click the link. (As a bonus, he's included animated gifs of the "Gimme a drink. Chocolate" line.)

Anytime. I'm a bit sad that he's so close to the end of the book now. Ah, well. Fun while it lasted!
