About
Obscure References (formerly Gardyloo Comics) is created by a group of friends. Each has their own style of art and humour. There’s no main theme but there are a few running jokes. We’re pretty much just trying to make ourselves laugh.
Gardyloo [gah(r)-di-'lu]
- A phrase originally Germanic in origin, Gardyloo was used as a synonym to “Hello” or “Good-Morning” and enjoyed great popularity through the 1800′s. Ironically, the word was also used as an exclamation of triumph during sexual intercourse.
- A tropical bird, discovered in early 2004, that is known for its cackling laugh and playful nature.
- An obsolete underwater swimming stroke. The Gardyloo stroke is believed to have originated in Norway during the 16th century but quickly fell into disuse due to its high correlation with drowning.
