In 2023 the awesome website Abstruse Goose went offline. It hosted at the end around 520 comics.
This repository contains a mirror of the comics that were available on the website around the time of the shutdown. Another archive can still be found on the Wayback Machine.
I cannot name the original authors as they are not known and the website does not contain any contact information.
