Any of you read this yet?

I feel a little squeamish after seeing the cover design, but “literary frolic”? I think it might be able to outweigh the horrendous cover and the terrible typesetting inside portended by said cover.

sorry to tone down the stream of pedanticism a.d.o.v. has going here, but the second panel of today’s hark, a vagrant is simply to die for.

omg. so good.

it strikes me suddenly that kate beaton is the closest thing to edward gorey these days, which is nice because hey, she’s better than most, but lamentable, because she’s still a long shot from the morbidity of gorey. seems like by now there’d have been an even gorier gorey, but sadly, not the case.

p.s. i can’t say that i read the entire avatar proceedings on this blog, but oh man, did not that movie suck in so many ways?
