I recently followed a link to viruscomix in a post here @LQ, there I discovered a set of (then) 10, now 17 so far, strips featuring "The Sphynx". The premise being how would the Sphinx of the OEdipus legend function in modern society. I wanted to keep a list of them:

Background note: My main way of interacting w/ LQ is through my subscription to the daily "0-reply threads" e-mail. Therefore, my problems arise when I click on an entry in that e-mail & find a closed thread which has no references to its continuation, or, worse, gives the "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"...

"Moving to Linux" class
"Linux for Cowards" (tm) presentation

Mostly, I am writing this to remind myself of the name of these things, I just spent most of an hour reading my old...
