comment |
Listening to 11.975 MHz is a Webcomic started in December 2002 by Ethan Forsythe.And it's ... really weird. It's about a girl (whose name is never given within the comic but Word of God says is Deco Bleu), and her, um... adventures in a very surreal dream world.The comic is filled with obscure references (especially to shortwave radio), and the comics sometimes contain messages to the author's friends. These are incomprehensible to anyone else.It can be found here (currently down, but the strip has since been made available on the creator's Patreon page.).In late 2014 the author re-launched the comic as a self published indy comic, "11.975 MHz", which is available via ComiXlogy for a small fee. The updated version is simultaneously much less and much more surreal than the original, switching the storytelling style to a more traditional comic format while retaining much of the Dadaesque elements."Deco and her mother, Pascale, wake up one day to find themselves in "The Archives", a near-infinite warehouse of every known archetypal location in the Multiverse." |

Can't You Read the Sign?: Of course the signs warning of the deep, deep hole ahead aren't worth noticing. Though neither Deco nor Lunchbox actually speak English, so I suppose it's justifiable. This one specifically says, "No one listens to me anyways." |

Bilingual Dialogue: Multilingual would be more accurate; between Deco's French, Lunchbox's Chinese, Fussy Britches' Portuguese with occasional Italian, whatever the white-haired devil speaks, the English used by signs and assorted one-off characters, and the calculus equations used by Caboose, this trope is present in spades. The white-haired devil's speech in at least one strip seems to be Dutch/Flemish. Elsewhere she seems to speak Greek, or at least in Greek letters. Sometimes it’s Dutch/Flemish written in Greek. And starting here, a floating mouse-like creature (with a distinct resemblance to Pikachu) speaks Catalan. |

Shout-Out |
| | Listening to 11.975 MHz (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a |

Shout-Out: Lots and lots, particularly to old video games such as Pac-Man (Deco's headband has the game's titular character and a ghost, not to mention this), Zork (when Deco and Lun Che Box fall into a pit, the opening text is in the background), and plenty to Super Mario Bros.. There are also excerpts from The Idiot at Home by John Kendrick Bangs every once in a while, and one comic has the last few lines from Tennyson's Sir Galahad. This comic references the last two lines of the song "Truckstop" by Marty Stuart. There are many, many references to the end text of Lemmings. Deco must have dialed the 80's into the Dial-A-Decade machine, because Steve Dallas walked out. |

| | Listening to 11.975 MHz (Webcomic) / int_d308cbb0 |

Character Catchphrase: Deco says "Bassoon!" quite a bit at the beginning. The phrase "drink Early Times" shows up with fair frequency in later comics. Early Times is a brand of whiskey, by the way. The radio with legs keeps repeating the phrase "Zachary. Acetaminophen. Beige." |

Art Evolution: As in most webcomics, the art gets better and better as the comic progresses, with a particularly noticeable shift when the shading style changes. Another trend is how Deco seems to be looking younger and younger. |
