The comic timing is absolutely brilliant on these timeline histories from design house H-57. Looking for how Marie Antoinette met her demise or the unfortunate early end to the legendary Bruce Lee? They’re here in minimal yet revealing detail. Find more at h-57.com or see our previous post on their typography Star Wars characters.

    Thanks

  2. ha ha these are good you forgot the part where hitler killed himself though

  3. very very cool sell them as t shirts !

  4. I’d love to buy these as posters..

  5. the history of Jesus should just be a blank page

  6. (jesus comment see above)

    or a guy reading a book and a bunch of scientists pointing and laughing

  7. Awesome stuff!

  8. Am i the only one who didn’t get the ’3′ in each picture? What does it mean?

  9. I will definately have to link this page on my blog! This is great stuff! Simplemanreviews.blogspot.com

  10. The one with Jesus is missing a few steps, when he rose from the dead… and actually His story is not yet complete. :)

  11. The history of jesus really should be some bastard child (who turns into a carpenter) and writes a fiction story about himself (sort of a “i’ll show them” to his bullies). haha

  12. ME pointing and laughing.

    The history of AVERAGE JOE should just be a blank page.

    Jesus on the other hand ? Prolific.

  13. @Peter Cryan. It means “many.”

  14. Nicely produced and very clever.
    RE:Jesus.
    Missing a vital stage – the full christian claim is he raised himself from the dead.

  15. I also don’t get the 3s.

  16. Umm, you’re forgetting the part where Jesus you know… raises from the dead.

  17. The “3″ (three) means “Cubed” — or “to the power of 3″ …. Implying that whatever is depicted happened repeatedly — or in great abundance.
