"Wondermark" is a collage-based comic strip. By turns sarcastic, silly, weird, and wondrous, each comic is a window into an alternate world in which anything can happen but probably shouldn't. Every panel is assembled from engravings and woodcuts sourced from 19th-century magazines, newspapers, catalogs, storybooks, and primers, which makes "Wondermark" a collaboration with the dead. "Wondermark" is canonically set in the modern day—it's just that everyone has really good fashion sense.
