Billed as "State of the Art 19th Century Humor," Daze of Our Lives is a diary of bizarre engravings paired with absurdist captions. Martin Archer and collaborator Neil McKernan clearly toil over this labor of love, offering an exquisite-looking site, rich with extras (desktop icons, greeting cards, an associated hardcover book). But nevermind the gewgaws, just read Daze for the dry humor, the magical images, and the inevitable laughter that they evoke.
