The Bayeux Tapestry - have it your way

Bayeux Tapestry (original)

Here’s fun. Why not pimp the Bayeux Tapestry? Proper nerd fun. You can reinvent history by dragging and dropping soldiers, kings, beast, buildings and boats into the most unlikely combinations, adding text to move your story along etc etc. I made a loose six-frame mashup riffing on William the Bastard’s invasion of England in 1066, Lemuel Gulliver’s visit to the Houyhnhnms, and this morning’s breakfast. It was quite fun. I can’t get the Gallery to work at the moment or I’d post a screengrab. But go, see this masterpiece of the Internet age for yourself…
