Design Observer review of McSweeney's No. 13

It really is a great issue, focusing exclusively on comics. And the packaging and design of every McSweeny's is always so luxoriously cool -- how they can afford to put these out at $20-something an issue I can't imagine. Technically, if you read the fine print, the "dust cover" is actually the issue of McSweeny's being released this time, with the book that it surrounds being a bonus appendix (plus, my copy came with two extra little tiny comic books).

Also, the first volume of the Complete Peanuts is out and definitely worth picking up. Much funnier than the later strips, they have a retro charm that I dig. But then, I'm probably the only one you know under 70 who still follows Gasoline Alley....
