Quote of the Week
"If we hesitate to call someone as talented as Chris [Ware] a mere cartoonist, it's because unlike other media once thought vulgar -- like film, or the novel -- comic strips have steadily grown worse since their invention." -- author and critic Dan Raeburn, promoting his new book on cartoonist Ware.
