The ingenious [Mobius](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobius-calendar-clock) strip has been applied to many inventions, industries and disciplines, but I don't think any of them has been as entertaining as the Mobius Comic Strip. A [looping storyline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looptube), it is forever repeated due not only because of its construction but also because of one of the character's amnesia.

Created by artist Jim Woodring, the Mobius Comic Strip can be fully read via the gallery. Too see it in action, visit [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/fantagraphics/4999251050/) for the video.
