Lemmings Comics from NotFunny/Nichtlustig

[Prob Lem]

Just making a quick post about this as I can't see any other posts about it...

There's a rather amusing web-comic, NotFunny (or, NichtLustig, in its original German), which consists of one-panel gags depicting all sorts of bizarre scenarios, and is notable for its odd sense of humour. One recurring group of characters are the lemmings - naturally, they're of no relation to "ours", but I suspect that the weird humour will be appreciated by Lemmings fans, somehow.

It seems that the NotFunny lemmings are a popular bunch, as they have quite a bit of merchandise available from the official NichtLustig shop (the plushes are rather cute, it must be said ), and have even had a board game based on them. Speaking as a collector of such merchandise and as a Lemmings fan, I'm envious - I can only wish that the Lemmings games were in a situation to see this sort of merchandising!

Anyway, below are links to all of the lemmings comics currently on the English version of the site;

And here are all of the ones currently on the German site, of which there are a lot more (note that some of the early ones are repeated in the English version, but as you can see, those ones were actually re-drawn for the translation);

I hope you all had a laugh at some of these. If you did, be sure to check out the rest of the site(s), because chances are if you found these funny, you'll like the other, non-lemmingy comics, too.

Nice. Looking at the lemmings one did got a little monotonous since apparently they seem to be all about the suicidal tendency bit, but I suppose it's kind of impossible to do any better for the generic animal lemming rather than the game one.  This would've been great with the official lemmings from Lemmings 2--the 12 tribes and 50+ skills should make for an awesome variety of humorous scenarios.

Yeah, the Lemmings-related strips to get a bit repetitive all in a row like that, but they're fairly humorous. I like NichtLustig in general, although of course not every strip happens to be funny to me.

A strip based on Lemmings II could be pretty fun! I remember we had one person here a while back who did some skill-based Lemming cartoons, and some of them were pretty funny, but that was a fairly long time ago.
