I loved this cartoon by David Maliki at Wondermark.com [found via and via]. (Go to website to see full size.)
Speaking of drowing in books - what are you reading now?
My current reads are 1) Lionel Shriver's harrowing We Have to Talk About Kevin which is our book club pick and 2) Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash which young Ted recommended to me one day in Kinokuniya when I said I fancied reading some more William Gibson. Who'da thought I would love cyberpunk? It's amazing what becoming a resident in a metaverse does to you.
More about both later, as well as about other stuff recently read and still being read around these two picks.
