Thinkin' Lincoln

From Comixpedia

Thinkin' Lincoln is a daily webcomic by Miles Grover updated Monday through Friday, starring the disembodied head of Abraham Lincoln.

[edit] Premise

The strips feature Lincoln's disembodied head interacting with those of other historical figures, most often George Washington and Queen Elizabeth II. The humor is absurd, referring to events of the lifes of the characters but not attempting to capture the personalities of the actual people. There are not long-running storylines, but rather most strips are self-contained. Sometimes the humor comes from the disembodied head status of the characters, in others from the prestigious nature of the characters in history, and sometimes it's just plain silly.

[edit] Cast

[edit] Main cast

The cast consists almost exclusively of famous historical figures, as well as the occasional animal.

• Abraham Lincoln is the main character. He usually comes across as slightly dim and enthusiastic, as well as somewhat conceited. He occasionally gains magic powers of some sort. Usually, his simplicity makes him quite loveable.
• George Washington serves as Lincoln's adversary, although occasionally they seem friendly. Usually the two engage in a competition or argument of some sort, and Washington comes out on top the most frequently. He comes across as a bit snide and obnoxious.
• Queen Elizabeth II is the main female character. Her role is mainly to be female and British.
• Theodore Mewsevelt is Lincoln's incredibly creepy and evil cat with the face of Theodore Roosevelt. And his bloodlust.

[edit] Supporting Cast

There have been guest appearances by José de San Martín, Rasputin, Charles Darwin, Zombie Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, William Howard Taft, Ichlor, Amelia Earhart, Emperor Norton I and Sigmund Freud, among others.
