I just found out about Google’s new browser, named Chrome. The browser looks like something I’ll have to check out, eventually. I’m in no rush to try anything other than Firefox right now.

What I was excited about was the comic that Google released to explain Chrome. It’s in the style of Scott McCloud’s wonderful book Understanding Comics.

If you haven’t read Understanding Comics, I highly recommend it - even for people who don’t normally read comics. It is a joy to read.

I’m very impressed with Google that they took McCloud’s vision for comics (most likely from another of his books, Reinventing Comics). I’ve been fairly impressed with Google lately, as I’ve been trying out a few of their web applications while working on my current project. This just makes me like Google all the more.

So read the comic, if you haven’t already.

Update: Turns out Scott McCloud drew this for for Google. You can read about it on scottmccloud.com
