Matthew Inman.
IF YOU’VE ever wonderedhow long youwouldsurvive if chained to abunk bedwith avelociraptor, or afterkicking a bear in the balls,this is the site for you.
Matthew Inman is thecreative force behindtheoatmeal.com, andvisitors are entertainedby a steady streamofquizzes, comics andmiscellaneous trivia.
Since starting the sitejust under a year ago,Inman has gained enoughpopularity for his quirkyillustration-basedhumour to quit his dayjob andwork on hiscreation full-time.
Subjectmatter rangesfrom the useful (How touse a semicolon, themost feared punctuationon earth) through to theobservational (how awebdesign goes straight tohell) and on to randomweirdness, such as fivevery good reasons topunch a dolphin inthemouth.
After all, who hasn’tpondered the eternalquestions of how toprepare their pets forwar, or why bacon isbetter than true love?
