Slurls are slurred URLs...unintentionally funny web site names which are caused by the removal of spaces from the site name. Now a book by Andy Geldman.My sketches are inspired by the Pen Island site.
The book also mentions the Speed of Art site, but that name was also a deliberate prank by my gifted friend Nigel.
Due to popular demand you can buy this map here.

I've always understood that they knew very well what they were thinking: that the name penisland is a great way to get a lot more visits to their site!
Love the images! I'm curious about the "Pen Island" site though. Are you sure it isn't a joke? I mean they write:
"Whether you're looking for a long and skinny pen, a thick pen, a fountain pen that squirts ink, or even a black pen, we have just the one for you."
and
"Just tell us a little bit about the size, color, texture, and taste of the pen you’re looking for, and we’ll see what can do."
Taste???
How about Condom Island?
Probably everything you need to (and indeed, DON'T need to) know about me at the moment can be revealed by the fact that I'd rather live on Pen Island than Penis Land at the moment.
Old Garchalia.
Thanks for the mention Ellis.
These illustrations are fantastic! At one time I was looking into having the Slurls book illustrated... I should have contacted you!
