Fractionals

I discovered this webcomic yesterday, and although I'm only about 2/3 of the way through the 600-odd strips, I'm astounded. The strip itself is, on the whole, a bit twee for me, but the sheer amount of background information Reitz has created for her world (we're talking physics, cosmology, languages, mathematics, social structures, history, games, ecology, and so on and so on) impresses the hell out of me. The strip isn't bad, it just has several baseline assumptions about things that I don't agree with (although the complete lack of anything resembling homophobia is a nice change). I'm more than willing to overlook the areas that the strip doesn't do it for me in exchange for the chance to submerge myself pretty completely in such a consistently worked out fictional world. That sort of thing doesn't come along often enough.
