I am not sure that Lives of the Great Tweeps passes the suspension of disbelief test, however.

Band name: Steam Governors

Will it be the same in the future? Will the prized treasures of to-day always be the cheap trifles of the day before? Will rows of our willow-pattern dinner-plates be ranged above the chimneypieces of the great in the years 2000 and odd? Will the white cups with the gold rim and the beautiful gold flower inside (species unknown), that our Sarah Janes now break in sheer light-heartedness of spirit, be carefully mended, and stood upon a bracket, and dusted only by the lady of the house? – Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

What would you call a book about a struggle between a driven man and a huge homicidal cetacean, written in cute little 12×12 graphical icons?

I am thinking that if it were my project I might have gone for something like Hello Moby or Sailor Doom.

Update: Funded, in the last couple of days left to go! Soon the might of the crowdsourced Mechanical Turk will be unleashed.
