  <description><![CDATA[Editors Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly have packed so much  top-notch talent into this flabbergastingly funny all-ages comic collection that  you'll have a terrible time deciding what to read first. Just as with the  previous Little Lit book, <em>Folklore &amp; Fairy Tale Funnies</em>,  you'll find some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and diverse short comics  around inside these pages: Maurice Sendak's omnivorous infant gobbles up  everything in sight in &quot;Cereal Baby Keller&quot;; David Sedaris pairs up with Ian  Falconer to define true cuteness; &quot;Where's Waldo?&quot; creator Martin Handford  searches for old socks; Paul Auster (yes, <em>that</em> Paul Auster) and Jacques  de Loustal's offering follows a man who's found he's disappeared; Crockett  Johnson (<em>Harold and the Purple  Crayon</em>) brings back the beginning of his classic '40s strip, &quot;Barnaby&quot;  (a favorite of Duke Ellington and Dorothy Parker, among others); and Spiegelman  himself takes on &quot;The Several Selves of Selby Sheldrake.&quot; And that's not even the  half of it. This downright quirky collection will charm comic fans of all  ages--and, no doubt, make fans out of those who weren't already. Even the endpapers are  funny, thanks to Kaz of &quot;Underworld.&quot; (All ages after 9 or so) <em>--Paul  Hughes</em>]]></description>

Just as with the  previous Little Lit book, <em>Folklore &amp; Fairy Tale Funnies</em>,  you'll find some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and diverse short comics  around inside these pages: Maurice Sendak's omnivorous infant gobbles up  everything in sight in &quot;Cereal Baby Keller&quot;; David Sedaris pairs up with Ian  Falconer to define true cuteness; &quot;Where's Waldo?&quot; creator Martin Handford  searches for old socks; Paul Auster (yes, <em>that</em> Paul Auster) and Jacques  de Loustal's offering follows a man who's found he's disappeared; Crockett  Johnson (<em>Harold and the Purple  Crayon</em>) brings back the beginning of his classic '40s strip, &quot;Barnaby&quot;  (a favorite of Duke Ellington and Dorothy Parker, among others); and Spiegelman  himself takes on &quot;The Several Selves of Selby Sheldrake.&quot; And that's not even the  half of it.

    <body><![CDATA[A lovely anthology of art by lots of really famous folks -- many of them famous for excellent reasons. This book is real purty. It's also neat to see non-comics folks like Paul Auster and David Sedaris try their hand at working with artists and telling a story visually, and to discover the gorgeous ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11821810">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Editors Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly have packed so much  top-notch talent into this flabbergastingly funny all-ages comic collection that  you'll have a terrible time deciding what to read first. Just as with the  previous Little Lit book, <em>Folklore &amp; Fairy Tale Funnies</em>,  you'll find some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and diverse short comics  around inside these pages: Maurice Sendak's omnivorous infant gobbles up  everything in sight in &quot;Cereal Baby Keller&quot;; David Sedaris pairs up with Ian  Falconer to define true cuteness; &quot;Where's Waldo?&quot; creator Martin Handford  searches for old socks; Paul Auster (yes, <em>that</em> Paul Auster) and Jacques  de Loustal's offering follows a man who's found he's disappeared; Crockett  Johnson (<em>Harold and the Purple  Crayon</em>) brings back the beginning of his classic '40s strip, &quot;Barnaby&quot;  (a favorite of Duke Ellington and Dorothy Parker, among others); and Spiegelman  himself takes on &quot;The Several Selves of Selby Sheldrake.&quot; And that's not even the  half of it. This downright quirky collection will charm comic fans of all  ages--and, no doubt, make fans out of those who weren't already. Even the endpapers are  funny, thanks to Kaz of &quot;Underworld.&quot; (All ages after 9 or so) <em>--Paul  Hughes</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Editors Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly have packed so much  top-notch talent into this flabbergastingly funny all-ages comic collection that  you'll have a terrible time deciding what to read first. Just as with the  previous Little Lit book, <em>Folklore &amp; Fairy Tale Funnies</em>,  you'll find some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and diverse short comics  around inside these pages: Maurice Sendak's omnivorous infant gobbles up  everything in sight in &quot;Cereal Baby Keller&quot;; David Sedaris pairs up with Ian  Falconer to define true cuteness; &quot;Where's Waldo?&quot; creator Martin Handford  searches for old socks; Paul Auster (yes, <em>that</em> Paul Auster) and Jacques  de Loustal's offering follows a man who's found he's disappeared; Crockett  Johnson (<em>Harold and the Purple  Crayon</em>) brings back the beginning of his classic '40s strip, &quot;Barnaby&quot;  (a favorite of Duke Ellington and Dorothy Parker, among others); and Spiegelman  himself takes on &quot;The Several Selves of Selby Sheldrake.&quot; And that's not even the  half of it. This downright quirky collection will charm comic fans of all  ages--and, no doubt, make fans out of those who weren't already. Even the endpapers are  funny, thanks to Kaz of &quot;Underworld.&quot; (All ages after 9 or so) <em>--Paul  Hughes</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Editors Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly have packed so much  top-notch talent into this flabbergastingly funny all-ages comic collection that  you'll have a terrible time deciding what to read first. Just as with the  previous Little Lit book, <em>Folklore &amp; Fairy Tale Funnies</em>,  you'll find some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and diverse short comics  around inside these pages: Maurice Sendak's omnivorous infant gobbles up  everything in sight in &quot;Cereal Baby Keller&quot;; David Sedaris pairs up with Ian  Falconer to define true cuteness; &quot;Where's Waldo?&quot; creator Martin Handford  searches for old socks; Paul Auster (yes, <em>that</em> Paul Auster) and Jacques  de Loustal's offering follows a man who's found he's disappeared; Crockett  Johnson (<em>Harold and the Purple  Crayon</em>) brings back the beginning of his classic '40s strip, &quot;Barnaby&quot;  (a favorite of Duke Ellington and Dorothy Parker, among others); and Spiegelman  himself takes on &quot;The Several Selves of Selby Sheldrake.&quot; And that's not even the  half of it. This downright quirky collection will charm comic fans of all  ages--and, no doubt, make fans out of those who weren't already. Even the endpapers are  funny, thanks to Kaz of &quot;Underworld.&quot; (All ages after 9 or so) <em>--Paul  Hughes</em>]]>
