Google Australia celebrates Will Eisner’s birthday

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  comics, The Spirit, Will Eisner    Posted date:  March 5, 2011  |  No comment


Will Eisner was born March 6, 1917, which means he would have turned 94 tomorrow. Google Australia has decided that’s an event worth celebrating (good for them!), and so turned its logo into an image of The Spirit for the day. But since it’s already tomorrow over in Australia (it’s always the future over there), we can see it that way now.

Though if you should happen to click that link when it’s no longer March 6 in Oz, you’ll have to content yourself with checking out the logo below.

I’m very pleased, even though it would be nice if the art style looked at little more … I don’t know … Eisnery. But I guess I shouldn’t look a gift Spirit in the mask.

Will the U.S. Google follow suit at midnight tonight and give us its own homage to Eisner? I sure hope so!
