Amusing little book, like a trip to a hip little mag. Ostensibly a collection of comics, this is more than that. Original comics are mixed with sly and amusing back stories that feint at giving background to the creation of the comics but really make fun of the self-importance of artists. Many of the comics are quite innovative and most of them feel fresh. Worth a look and look forward to checking out other editions. (
