Acme Novelty goodness

If you have lunch money to spare, try to get your hands on a copy of Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library #15.

(or any book from the yummy Acme Novelty series for that matter.)

I've been gearing myself up for months to buy #15 but our wonderful friends Ramon and Neva beat me to the book shop and gave it to me for my birthday! (Aww, thanks guys.) It boasts of a dense array of fabulous full-color graphic narratives drawn in Ware's trademark retro-futuristic* style. It also comes with special pull-out bonuses including an amazing cut-out three-dimensional motion picture viewer and two flip books.

Arnold and I have admired Chris Ware's graphic design style ever since we laid our eyes on his most awarded book to date, Jimmy Corrigan (courtesy of Ramon too).

* Is there such a term? Arn and I just coined that up, heh.
