Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware I recently moved, meaning I had a new library to investigate. Unlike my previous local library, this one has a large selection of graphic novels for my delectation. An added bonus is being able to read books that are outside my…
Inspired by Greg's Comics You Should Own (initially at his own blog, then at Comics Should Be Good and now on Buzzscope) and Bob's My Collection posts at Four Realities, I thought I'd do something in between - comics from my collection that I thought deserved mentioning, in this instance,…

I agreed and didn't try…
