Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Yesterday's Unshelved, the only webcomic whose T-shirts I wear, featured Eric Shanower's Adventures in Oz in its Sunday Book Club. Tamara and Dewey apparently agree that the Oz books and Eric's comics extensions of them have a rare combination of sweet and awesome.
Also, last week PW's The Beat reported that Ballantine will issue a Garfield Minus Garfield collection. With cartoonist Jim Davis's blessing. I guess he does still has a sense of humor.
